Apple tree named Pioneer Mac

Abstract

A McIntosh type of apple tree discovered as a chance seedling in a cultivated area near Marlboro, N.Y., noted because of the resemblance of its fruit to the McIntosh but having more attractive, glassy, red skin, and the absence of speckling and russetting, later maturity and firmer fruit, the comparison being made to an unpatented variety known as the Rogers McIntosh growing in an orchard in which it was discovered.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of apple tree, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by its similarity to McIntosh, but having higher red skin color, glassy appearance, having no speckling or russetting, later maturity, firmer fruit, growing on a tree of medium size, of upright growth habit and having small size leaves, of medium length tapering to an abrupt point.
