Abstract: A new and distinct variety of high yielding dessert apple tree is provided which originated as a cross between the Cox's Orange Pippin cultivar and the Idared cultivar. The fruit is an attractive bright red on a yellow-green background, possesses an excellent flavor, and exhibits an extended storage life. The growth habit is precocious and leads to the formation of a tree which is larger in size than Cox's Orange Pippin. The branches form wide angles and commonly are drooping particularly on young trees. The fruit skin finish is superior and of a brighter coloration than that of Cox's Orange Pippin cultivar.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of high yielding dessert pear is provided which originated as a cross between the Doyenne Du Comice variety (non-patented in the United States) and the Conference variety (non-patented in the United States). The fruit is elongated and assumes an attractive yellow skin coloration with a slight pink overcolor at those areas exposed to the sun. Trees of the new variety normally come into bearing earlier than those of the Conference variety under growing conditions encountered in the United Kingdom. The russet of the fruit is slight when compared to that of the Conference variety and tends to be distributed over the whole fruit. The fruit of the new variety unlike that of the Conference variety retains a slight crispness when fully ripe and possesses a flavor that is fuller and more aromatic. The picking season for the fruit is later than for the Conference variety. The leaves exhibit an impressive dark green coloration.
