Fameuse

In the Champlain district and in portions of the St. Lawrence valley it is one of the most important varieties found in commercial orchards. Generally speaking, it grows to a higher degree of perfection in those districts than it does in other apple-growing regions of New York. In the more southern sections of the state it appears to succeed best in the high elevations and on light well drained soil with clay subsoil. A variety has sometimes been propagated and disseminated under the name Fameuse which is recognized as Striped Fameuse, but this fruit is less desirable than Fameuse
