HOADLEY
Origin and History
A variety of the Oldenburg type, received from the Wisconsin Experiment Station in 1896 for testing. Referenced in the Wisconsin Experiment Station Annual Reports (1894) and the American Pomological Society Report (1899).
Tree
Growth and Form: Moderately vigorous. Form upright spreading when young. Comes into bearing early and is very productive (as tested).
Twigs: Short, straight, stout; internodes medium.
Bark: Brown and reddish-brown, lightly streaked with scarf-skin, slightly pubescent.
Lenticels: Scattering, medium size, round, not raised.
Buds: Medium to large, broad, plump, obtuse, free, pubescent.
Fruit
Size and Form: Above medium to large, sometimes very large. Form roundish oblate inclined to conic, a little angular; sides unequal.
Stem: Short, thick to slender.
Cavity: Acute to obtuse, deep, broad, pretty symmetrical, thinly and irregularly russeted.
Calyx: Rather large, closed or partly open; lobes long, broad, acute to obtuse.
Basin: Deep to medium in depth, rather narrow to moderately wide, abrupt, slightly furrowed.
Skin: Moderately thick, tough, attractive yellow or greenish-yellow largely overspread with rather light bright red, mottled and irregularly striped and splashed with carmine. Dots inconspicuous, small, submerged, pale.
Calyx Tube: Variable, short, rather wide, funnel-shape, sometimes broadly conical with core lines meeting. Stamens median to nearly marginal.
Core and Seeds: Core medium size, abaxile; cells open; core lines meeting or slightly clasping. Carpels broadly cordate or elliptical, slightly tufted. Seeds medium or below, wide, moderately long, usually plump, rather obtuse, dark colored.
Flesh and Flavor: Tinged with yellow, pretty firm, a little coarse, crisp, tender, very juicy, brisk subacid, good.
Season
Late September to November.
Uses
Good quality for culinary purposes.
Other
Closely resembles Oldenburg except that its season is about a month later. Decidedly attractive in general appearance. Worthy of testing where an apple of this type is desired.

SYNONYMS. None.
A variety of the Oldenburg type which much resembles Oldenburg except that its season is about a month later. It is decidedly attractive in general appearance and of good quality for culinary purposes. The tree is a moderate grower, comes into bearing early and so far as tested here is very productive. It appears to be worthy of testing where an apple of this type is desired.
Historical. Received from the Wisconsin Experiment Station in 1896 for testing at this Station.
