A new and distinct variety of Apple tree, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of wide angle limb structure, large dark green leaves, long sleek shape similar to Starkrimson Red Delicious and as compared to Starkspur Golden Delicious, five distinct points similar to Starkrimson Red Delicious, the smooth skin free of russet, the abundant juice even when the fruit is green, with early sugar sweet flavor before Starkspur Golden but still permitting harvest two weeks after Starkspur, and thus extending harvest season, with ability to keep long in ordinary refrigeration, with blossoms larger and darker pink than Starkspur, with very hardy buds and blossoms being freeze resistant; the fruit being firmer and pressure testing at harvest 19 lbs. to 221/2 lbs. and sugar testing 111/2-13% S.S., with extreme resistance to bruising and the abundant fruit clusters with long fruit stems, the variety being very resistant to mildew as compared to other known varieties.
