A study of apple cultivars was initiated at the Bluffs Experimental Fruit Farm near Council Bluffs, Iowa, in the spring of 1947. The primary objective of the study was to find new and better cultivars for the apple growers of the state. Commercial orchards at the time consisted primarily of Jonathan, Delicious, and Golden Delicious. Also being grown were many less important cultivars that were planted for hardiness or other reasons after the Armistice Day freeze of 1940. Many of these were of a type or color that have met with consumer resistance during an era of changing consumer habits.
