| Abstract: | The Burgundy apple (N.Y. 161) originated from a cross
made by R. C. Lamb in 1953, Monroex N.Y. 18491 (Macoun
x Antonovka). A population of 357 seedlings from the cross
was field planted in May 1955. As the seedlings came into
fruiting several years later, their fruiting performance was
evaluated. This particular seedling ripened its first fruits on
September 10, 1960 and was selected by R. D. Way in
1961. Nineteen other superior selections were also chosen
from this same population. This is a much higher proportion
of good clones selected from a progeny than is usually
chosen, indicating that this was an especially good parental
combination. |
