Abstract
An apple tree which is a mutation of the Gala apple variety GALA (KIDD's D-8), wherein the fruit of the new variety presents a bright scarlet red color which extends uniformly over substantially the entire body of the fruit.
Description
This new variety is a mutation of the Gala variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,637, issued on Oct. 15, 1974) and was found in 1980 by me as a branch sport or mutation on one of several Gala (Kidd's D-8) variety trees growing in my nursery orchard in Cumberland, Ky. I recognized the fruit carried by the branch as being of an attractive and distinctive color, being of a bright scarlet red color which extends uniformly over substantially the entire body of the fruit. I grafted the mutation branch onto an apple rootstock. Asexual reproduction through two generations on several trees shows that the unique scarlet red color comes true to form and is established and transmitted through succeeding asexual propagations. The new variety is named Scarlet Gala variety.
The accompanying drawing is an illustration, by photographic reproduction in color, showing fruit of the new variety compared with fruit of other Gala varieties, and in which:
FIG. 1 shows side views taken partly from above of (1) an apple of my new variety (shown at the right in the figure), (2) an apple of the Royal Gala variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,121, issued on Oct. 4, 1977) (shown at the left of the figure), and (3) an apple of the above noted Gala (Kidd's D-8) variety (shown in the middle in the figure).
FIG. 2 shows, at the right in the figure, two halves of an apple of my new variety, and at the left in the figure, two halves of an apple of the Gala (Kidd's D-8) variety.
FIG. 3 shows, at the right in the figure, three apples of my new variety and, at the left in the figure, three apples of the Gala (Kidd's D-8) variety, the view showing the bottoms and sides of the apples depicted therein.
