- Description
- The history of this variety is confused with several similar varieties. It was first exhibited before the Illinois Horticultural Society by Mr. S. G. Minkler, who had lost the name and was exhibiting it for identification. It is identical with the Mumper Vandevere, which originated on the farm of John Mumper. In 1905, Beach notes that it was not a promising variety for New York, competing with Baldwin and other winter apples.
