Cullin's Keeper
AppleSent us by Mr. Griesa, of Kan. who says: "Or this Kansas apple it is the long-keeping best quality apple, to my knowledge; closely resembles Ortley in every way except in long keeping. While Ortley is only a fall apple, Cullins will carry you through the winter; flesh is tender, crisp and breaking. Tree a good bearer, in nursery grows some like a Ben Davis. A variety of such merit, coming in so late, is destined to be the long keeper for the family orchard."
