Title: Mutsi Crispin Apple
Author: APS Citation
Abstract:
The following item concerning the
Japanese apple variety, Mutsu, by R.
F. Carlson, is reprinted from "Compact
Fruit Grower":
"Most pomologists, fruit growers,
nurserymen and others are familiar
with double named varieties.
For example,
the Beacon-Fenton apple, and
Bartlett-Williams pear no doubt have
puzzled many, but affected sales and
taste very little.
Now, another doublenamed
apple has come to the forethe
Mutsu-Crispin.
Some of our English
counterparts came up with a
name more descriptive for the Mutsu
variety.
The apple is crisp in bite and
taste -hence the name Crispin, in
place of Mutsu."
