Synopsis
Excerpt from Promising New Fruits
During the past five years this apple, which has long been grown in certain localities in Missouri, has attracted marked attention as a variety well adapted to planting in commercial orchards in that and neighboring States. Combining, as it does, the desirable characteris tics of the old Ralls (variously known in the Middle and Southern States under the synonyms Rawles Genet, Rawles Janet, Geniton, lveverfail, and some twenty-five others), with larger size and brighter color than that well-known sort, it appears to have been first described and illustrated under the name Ingram Seedling in the Journal of Agriculture, published at St. Louis, Mo., and somewhat later, in 1868, in the Horticulturist, Vol. XXIII, p. 201.
