This Albert Etter creation has the deepest and darkest red-flesh colour. It’s purplish-red interior is somewhat like a pomegranate and the dull grayish-transparent skin further invites this comparison. It requires a long growing season to mature, and is still to brisk for eating at picking time. It needs a few weeks in storage to mellow into a very enjoyable dessert apple. It is great for cooking, cider making and can even substitute for cranberry sauce at holiday meals. This variety, part of the Rosetta series was saved from extinction by Ram Fishman of Green Mantle Nursery

Possible parent of Yellow Delicious. Multiple uses, superior dessert apple, great cider, keeps well. Medium to large clear yellow fruit. Flesh is yellow, crisp, fine-grained, and juicy. Rich, distinctive, aromatic spicy flavour. A very old variety, long planted for home use. Tree bears young. It has a clear yellow skin that will be noticed on a distance. Grimes Golden is self-fertile and is an excellent pollinator for other apple varieties due to a long bloom period. Grimes ripens in late September and stores very well. Some degree of disease resistance. .

A cross of Gravenstein and Golden Delicious by William Silva . The skin is a clear yellow and sometimes a light pinkish orange striping will give the fruit an orange color. The crisp textured flesh has a distinctive "pineapple" flavor. The tree is spreading in form and of moderate growth. Hawaii like its parent the Golden Delicious tends to overset with fruit. Thinning is necessary to produce large size fruit. Hawaii stores well and ripens in September.

HIDDEN ROSE (Airlie Red Flesh) Oregon Recent discovery

Oct late

An amazing red fleshed apple, this recently discovered Hidden Rose, which may be the best of all red fleshed varieties and indeed would be an outstandingly delicious apple no matter what color the flesh is. A choice seedling, Hidden Rose has a beautiful yellow skin with pale whitish dots, but it is inside that it excels. Deep rose red flesh, juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Hidden Rose an outstanding variety of top quality. He predicted this apple, with its delicious red flesh, to be the wave of the future, just as pink grapefruit has supplanted the white.

Seedling of Cox's Orange Pippin. The fruit is large, flattish, cone shaped, of deep yellow with varying red flush, sometimes lightly russeted, with creamy yellow, crisp flesh that has the most luscious aromatic flavor. Aromatic flavour of Cox's Orange, but easier to grow. Tree is more vigourous, scab resistant. It was rated in the 1969 National Fruit Trials Report (England) as "without doubt the most promising cultivar in this trial." A regular and heavy bearer and a good keeper, it is the largest seedling of the Cox's Orange Pippin with a rich delectable flavor that is best for pies and tarts with all the requisites of sharpness, juiciness and lip smacking flavor. It's wonderful to eat straight from the tree. Holstein is wonderful for culinary purposes, ripening late September. Holstein is a nice addition to every orchard and backyard.

One of the great Massachusetts apples of the 19th century. Large, rugged fruit with red skin, highlight of gold. Flesh hard, crisp yet fine-grained.

Found as a fence row seedling at Hudson Nursery in Tangent, Oregon, this chance seedling is an excellent dessert apple. Probably the largest-sized high-quality russet, with a pronounced conical shape, smooth, uniformly dull yellow russet skin, a very long stem, and deliciously sugary, juicy, crisp flesh with nutty flavour. . It is a vigorous, productive annual bearer. Disease resistant.
We believe to most tastes this would be regarded as the finest russet apple for eating out of hand. Harvest: late Oct., Season: Nov. - Jan.
