Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everything for the Fruit Grower Description. Q A vigorous grower, exceeding any Apple known to horticulturists for rapid growth. Of symmetrical form, never needing to be pruned while shaping the head; branches heavily shouldered, making the tree absolutely wind and storm proof Fruit large, oblong, flattened at ends, red and green when picked, green turning to rich golden yellow as the fruit comes into season for use. Stem long, thus enabling the fruit to sway with the wind and to adhere firmly until picking time. Calyx large, basin open, deep-furrowed; flesh yellowish marbled, tender, juicy, improving with age, and highly aromatic. Season for use, March to September. Keeps twelve months in any cellar. Important. At each of the Annual Meetings for the years 1897, 1898 and 1899, the Illi nois State Horticultural Society awarded the Missing Link Apple the first premium as the best new Apple worthy to be recommended. See reports of Committees on Awards, Class 1, in each Annual Report for the years above named. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
