World’s Best Cooking Apples<br />
BRAMLEY The English are<br />
particular about their cooking<br />
apples, and this large, round, greenyellow<br />
apple with red stripes is the<br />
most widely used. Apples are firm and<br />
juicy and they cook to perfection. When<br />
ripe, they are good for fresh eating, too. Spreading trees bear<br />
heavily and regularly and resist scab and mildew. Enjoy ripe<br />
fruit in early October. Bramley is rated among the highest in<br />
phytonutrients. A140S (MM106 semi-dwarf): $24.95 each<br />

translucent puree. A485D (EMLA 26<br />
