striped fruit of the parent tree. This

apples are Of extremely rare occurrence

in recent years. Or it may be that fruH
growers are watching such details more
carefully.
Among the recognized color sports in
the apple are the Red Northern Spy.
Red Delicious. Red Rome Beauty. Red
Duchess and Red Gravenstein. Since
red color is a selling asset in apples
