Late Midseason (Early October)
Again I would continue to put Tompkin's Kingand Orencoat the head of the list for this season, especially as apples for eating out of hand. It seems to me that both exemplify the best characteristics of our native varieties. They have size, they are red-skinned, the flesh is juicy, crisp and breaking, and the flavor is superb. For American tastes there can be no better. King would be the delight of every boy who loves to eat apples, and the delight of his mother in the kitchen. Orenco is perhaps a bit more elegant in flavor—a gourmet's apple. It is a shy bearer but fully worth waiting for.
