Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apple, the `Spencerville Red` was discovered growing from seed in a cultivated field in Spencerville, Md. The tree and fruit are similar in some respects to the York Imperial but the tree flowers and ripens about a week later. The fruit is hard, tart, and fine in texture.

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 apple tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the "Royal Gala" apple tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,121) and "Fuji" apple tree (nonpatented) from which it is believed derived, but from which it is distinguished by producing fruit which are mature for harvesting and shipment approximately three-and-one half weeks later than the fruit produced by the "Royal Gala" apple tree and about five weeks prior to the fruit produced by the "Fuji" apple tree. The fruit of the new variety of apple tree is of excellent quality being of semi-blushed coloration, conical to slightly oblate shape and having a very sweet flavor.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apple tree having a strong vigor, long and narrow leaves, and bearing a slightly small fruit maturing earlier than "Tsugaru". The fruit has a conical to rounded-conical shape, and a deep red to deep reddish orange (ISCC - NBS) skin. The flesh of the fruit is yellowish (ISCC - NBS) white, juicy and has a moderate texture, and further, has a moderate sweet and sour taste. The fruit of the present apple trees ripen for eating and can be picked earlier than other early maturing varieties, thereby providing the fruit with an excellent market value, in particular, in mid-summer.

Also, the bark lenticels of the new cultivar tend to be less flattened in configuration than those of Tenroy (as illustrated).

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apple tree having weak to medium vigor is provided which exhibits a columnar growth habit that generally resembles a vertical pole. The new variety resulted from a cross between a plant designated A1583 that was produced by the crossing of the COX'S ORANGE PIPPIN and COURT PENDU PLAT varieties (non-patented in the U.S.) and the WIJCIK variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,382). Flowers form later than on the other varieties of columnar apple trees. The new variety forms attractive small to medium sized fruit having a yellow ground color with a high level of red-purple overcolor. The overall appearance is a rich maroon red with some light green or yellow coloration depending upon the degree of ripeness. The fruit configuration is somewhat asymmetric and generally is regular, flat-round to round. The fruit flesh is white and generally remains crisp and rather brisk until the end of the calendar year when properly stored. The harvest date typically is early October.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apple tree is provided which exhibits a columnar growth habit that generally resembles a vertical pole. The growth habit is more compact than the previously released varieties of columnar apple trees. The new variety resulted from a cross between the WIJCIK variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,382) and the GREENSLEEVES variety (non-patented in the United States). Flowers form earlier than on the other varieties of columnar apple tres. The new variety forms attractive large light green fruit with a red flush. The fruit configuration is irregular, round and conical with a prominent knobby crown. The fruit flesh is cream colored. The harvest date typically is late September. The fruit can be cold-stored until March-April while present in an ambient atmosphere. The fruit stews and bakes well and has a crisp, tart, and sweet taste.

Abstract: The cultivar of the present invention, designated `Co-op 30`, is a new and distinct cultivar of apple Tree (Malus.times.domestica Borkh.). It was discovered in October of 1978 at West Lafayette, Ind., in the course of an attempt to develop improved apple cultivars with high fruit quality and resistance to Venturia inaequalis (Cke.)

The tree is a seedling of known parentage planted in May of 1972 in the CL Block of the apple breeding orchard on the old Clark Farm tract of the Purdue Horticulture Research Farm, West Lafayette, Ind. In the above mentioned block, its position was Row 4, Tree 38, having the designation PRI 2693-1 in the breeding records.

Abstract: A new variety of apple originating as a limb mutation of Royal Gala (Tenroy cultivar, U.S. Pat. No. P.P. 4,121) is described. The variety was chosen for the unique combination of characteristic exhibited by the fruit. They are distinguished by particularly early red coloring throughout the tree, and have a distinctive appearance of predominantly bright red color and flecks of ground color overlain by a bold darker red stripe pattern that extends over the entire fruit.

Abstract: The tree of this disclosure is a newly discovered and stability tested color sport of the parent variety `Cortland`, which I have named `NS-911`. The new tree is distinguished by having more highly colored fruit than that of `Cortland` and `Redcort`, a color sport from the same source, and as having less conspicuous stripes within and masked by a solid blush which covers substantially the entire surface of the fruit. The ground color of fruit skin of each variety is substantially the same, but differs in terms of degree of coverage, with ground color patches being essentially absent from the surface of the fruit of `NS-911`. The new tree is distinguished from `Lamont` in having standard bearing and tree habit.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of `Jonathan` apple tree originating as a limb mutation of the Malus sylvestris variety of `Jonnee`, Robison cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,934)This new sport is unique from its parent because the fruit starts coloring 30 days earlier and the color develops as a solid, rich red blush with no striping. The color finishes virtually 100% solid as a deep ruby red. Fan 1, Red Group 46A to 45C.The commercial harvest maturity is 7 days earlier than its parent. At harvest, the internal flesh color is much creamier yellow color that the parent. Fan 1, Yellow Group 11 D. The fruit skin is significantly smoother and much less prone to stem end russet and scarf skin than its parent.

Abstract: The `Fuji Compact T.A.C. #114` strain of Fuji Apple Tree (Malus domestica) characterized by the significant compactness of its growth habit and the unique color and "finish" characteristics of its fruit, which is similar in all respects to fruit from its parent `Fuji Apple Tree: T.A.C. #114` (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,032).

Abstract: A new and distinctive variety of apple Malus domestica, tree named Excel, a sport mutation of the apple variety Jonagold, uniquely characterized from its parent variety by its much better color intensity over 50% or more of the surface of the fruit with a solid bright red colored blush with scarcely visible very fine red stripes in it and a smoother texture of the skin surface. Also the ground color of its fruit keeps longer green. The fruit has a higher acidity and a longer and thinner brown/red stalk, and has earlier ripening and picking dates. The tree is also characterized by distinctly dormant fruit buds on tips which have a conical shape and by its dark brown-red wood with clearly more pubescence and fewer but bigger lenticels than its parent variety.

Abstract: A new and distinctive variety of apple Malus domestica, tree named Jonagored Supra, a sport mutation of the apple variety Jonagored, uniquely characterized from its parent variety by the rounder form of its fruit; its slightly softer red-colored, approximately 90% solid blush having scarcely visible, very fine red stripes in it and approximately 10% of its surface is striped; by the earlier ripening and picking dates of its fruit; by the tree's distinctly weaker growth habit, the very dark brown to greyed-purple color of its wood; more pubescence and a lower amont of lenticels; and by the irregular margin of its leaves which is generally serrate but some are also biserrate and serrate-biserrate. Extended observation has further indicated that the Jonagored Supra is virus free, and is an improvement on the Jonagored variety with respect to its growth habit, color and productivity.
