Abstract: This invention relates to a new cultivar of an apple tree which is scab resistant, and is characterized by a maturity 7 weeks before Delicious and 31/2 weeks before Prima.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new cultivar of apple tree which is scab resistant, and which matures about eight weeks before Delicious and four and one-half weeks before Prima.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of apple tree which is distinctly characterized by its high fruit quality, its resistance to infection caused by Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the casual agent for the apple scab disease, due to the fact that this new cultivar carries the genetic factor V.sub.f, and closely resembles `Golden Delicious` but differs from `Golden Delicious` in that it is resistant to apple scab, has freedom from stem cavity russet, bears a waxier skin, and green-tinged lenticels at harvest. This new variety of apple tree, now designated as COOP 16, was discovered by applicants in September, 1973, at Lafayette, Ind., in a cultivated area. The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in 1966 in Block C of the Hinsley Breeding Orchard at the Horticultural Farm of the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station, West Lafayette, Ind. In the above orchard, its position was Row 21, Tree 79, having the description PRI 2174-3 in the breeding records.

Abstract: A new and distinct peach variety which originated by the crossing of an unnamed New Jersey seedling No. 585414 with pollen from the Autumnglo variety is provided. This new variety is a late maturing yellow freestone peach variety which bears large round firm fruit having an attractive bright red skin color (as illustrated). The fruit flesh is golden yellow in color, and slow softening with a superior rich and delicious flavor. The fruit buds exhibit exceptionally good winter hardiness. Also, the variety has exhibited improved tolerance to common bacterial leaf spot disease.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of apple tree which is distinctly characterized by its high fruit quality and its resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the causal agent of the apple scab disease. This new variety of apple tree, now designated as COOP 22, is a seedling of known parentage planted in 1965 in the PW Breeding Orchard of the Department of Horticulture at the Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station, Urbana, Ill., which site is a cultivated area. In the above mentioned orchard, its position was Row 40, Tree 116, having the designation PRI 2016-100 in the breeding records.After observation the selection was asexually reproduced by grafting on seedling apple roots. The grafted material has maintained the described characteristics after propagation.

Abstract: An apple tree having immunity to scab and attractive fruit of high quality as a late summer dessert apple.

Abstract: A new and distinct apple variety which originated by the crossing of an unnamed New Jersey seedling No. 109055 (non-patented) with pollen from the Mollies Delicious cultivar (non-patented) is provided. This new apple variety can be distinguished by the early maturing characteristic of its large conic shaped fruit which has an attractive bright red skin color (as illustrated). Also, the new variety produces more uniformly sized fruit than the pollen parent Mollies Delicious cultivar. The fruit flesh is white to cream in color and similar to Mollies Delicious cultivar in flavor.

Abstract: A new and distinct peach variety which originated by the crossing of an unnamed New Jersey seedling No. 602903 with pollen from the Pallas variety is provided. The freestone fruit of the new variety has a highly blushed red skin and a distinctive configuration which is vertically compressed and oblate. The flesh is fine and tender and of mild and delicate flavor. The variety has exhibited resistance to common bacterial leaf spot, and the fruit buds have exhibited exceptionally good winter hardiness.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of apple tree is distinctly characterized by its high fruit quality, the attractive red color and good flavor of the fruit, and its resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint., the causal agent of apple scab disease. This new cultivar of apple tree, now designated as COOP 21, is a seedling of known parentage planted in 1969 in the PA block of the apple breeding orchard at the Pomology Research Center at the Illinois Agricultural Experimental Station, Urbana, Ill., which site is a cultivated area. In the above-mentioned orchard, its position was Row 1, Tree 58, having the designation PRI 2259-100 in the breeding records. After observation, the selection was asexually reproduced by grafting on both seedlings and dwarfing roots. The grafted material has maintained the described characteristics after propagation.
