tender, juicy, pleasant subacid; good to very good; February to June.
Remarks on the Rawle's Janet by members of the State Horticultural Society:
C. C. Cook: I have been acquainted with the Janet from boyhood, but I have little, if any, use for them, because they overbear. It is a hard tree for me to do anything with; cannot get them into shape—die quick.
E. J. Holman: I would only recommend a tree or two of them for the family orchard. It has had its day in the West, and is succeeded by more profitable varieties.
H. L. Ferris (Osage county): I would not plant them to sell. They are too subject to diseases—bitter rot, etc.
W. G. Gano: I think it could be discarded altogether.
James Sharp: Will not pay for commercial orchard.
G. P. Whiteker: Janets bring a good price. They are late keepers. We kept ours this year until we began to pick apples the following fall. It is not a good commercial apple.
Phillip Lux: I would place it on the retired list.
William Cutter: Only fit for family use. Trees overbear; fruit small.
B. F. Smith: I would place it on the retired list.
SMITH'S CIDER.
Synonyms: Smith's, Fuller, Pennsylvania Cider, Popular Bluff, and Fowler.
Origin, Bucks county, Pennsylvania. This apple is widely grown and much esteemed as a profitable market sort. The tree is a very vigorous, straggling, spreading grower, and productive. Young wood a rich, dark brown. Fruit medium to large, roundish oblate conic, yellow, shaded and striped with red, sparsely covered with gray dots. Stalk slender, of medium length, inserted in a deep, rather narrow cavity. Calyx closed, set in a broad, rather shallow basin. Flesh whitish, tender, juicy, crisp, pleasant, mild subacid. Good December to March.
Remarks on the Smith's Cider by members of the State Horticultural Society:
C. C. Cook: I planted Smith's Cider pretty heavily, and now regret it. It blights badly, and the apples fall off. I intend to replace it with York Imperial.
E. J. Holman: It deserves a place in the family orchard, and a small place in the commercial orchard. They are as large as Ben Davis, and as great bearers, but they fall from the tree sooner.
James Sharp: We had 500 Smith's Cider. Nearly all blighted and died; have never paid me.
