Abstract:
When I first sam a tree of the Hudson's
Golden Gem apple, I passed it
up as a Bosc pear, and did so for
nearly a month.
As the fruit grew in
size, the golden undercolor gradually
appeared.
By now, I had become
more interested, and inspected the
fruit more closely.
I was pleasantly
surprised to find it to be an apple.
About this time, a friend, Milo Gibson,
of Portland, Oregon, happened to
mention to me that an apple of special
merit had caught his eye.
Milo was
not satisfied that this find was his exclusively,
and was searching for other
trees of it around the state.
When I told him that I had found
an apple that looks like a pear, we
combined efforts in a search for trees
and the source of the variety.
