Early Goodwin

Originated one and one-half miles north of our nurseries, on the old fruit farm of William Goodwin, whose name we have given this valuable apple, not only in honor of him, but that it also expresses in part the quality of the fruit, "Goodone." The tree makes a beautiful upright, spreading and vigorous growth, perfectly hardy and bears an immense crop of fruit annually. The fruit is large size, smooth, roundish, oblong, beautifully colored with whitish yellow, striped and splashed with bright red and covered with thin bloom. Flesh white, tender, juicy, sub-acid; excellent for cooking and dessert and is unequaled by any other variety of its season. July and August, for its long keeping and shipping qualities.
