Abstract

The 'York Imperial' apple continues as the leading variety in the Middle Atlantic region, according to A.H. Thompson, of the University of Maryland, in Fruit Notes of the University of Massachusetts. 'Delicious' is also being planted heavily. The outstanding non-spur sports of 'Delicious' in this area are 'Ryan Red', 'Topred', 'Red Prince', 'Red Queen' and 'Hi-Early'. The best spur-types, 'Starkrimson', 'Redspur' and 'Wellspur', show more chlorophyll than the non-spur sports, and remain inferior in quality until Christmas or later. There is also a great interest in 'Golden Delicious' in this region.
