Author: APS Citation
Abstract:
Walter Toenjes, Superintendent of
the Graham Experiment Station,
Grand Rapids, Michigan has made
the following comments about different
red sports of .Jonathan apple:
Double Red (Waynesboro Nurseries)
—solid red, including calyx end, even
in shaded parts of tree; performs well.
Dark Red (Maloney Bros.)—same as
Double Red.
Jonared (Stark Bros.)—
probably the most widely planted in
Michigan; solid red on exposed
branches, but shows considerable
green on sides of fruit, and in basin,
with fruit located on lower inside
branches; some think it dark.
Blackjon
(C. & O. Nursery)—fruit an attractive
red, but too small.
Not recommended
for Michigan.
