Great Northwestern

"This new Wisconsin seedling which received the first prize of the Wisconsin State Hort. Society in 1883, over a large competition, as a 'seedling Winter Apple,' has stood the test of most trying places in Wisconsin, and proved equal to the Wealthy in every respect as a tree, while in quality of fruit it is the superior of that variety. Fruit, large, round conic, smooth, skin very yellowish yet with fine, reddish blush; flesh fine grained, firm, juicy, sub-acid, good. January to Spring. Has had 29 years trial in Wis."
