It's been around for a while and various sources have passed on it (citing, in one case, that it is too much like Empress).<br /><br />A nickname does not have the same status as a variety name, but I think the ones at Hutchins are fun and make things easier on the customer. (I quite like the name "<a href="http://adamapples.blogspot.com/2010/10/sister-of-fortune-ny428-apple.html" rel="nofollow">Sister of Fortune</a>" for NY 428, given that Fortune's number is 429.)<br /><br />Consider that if these varieties succeed it will be as a result of how well places like Samascott promote them. A nickname is just marketing.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-86069453274126227552012-11-29T10:03:12.493-05:002012-11-29T10:03:12.493-05:00Adam,
Its not really Samascott's call to name...Adam,<br /><br />Its not really Samascott's call to name the variety. The farm just inquired about it thru the Geneva germplasm department and received the scions thru the mail. If successful on a wide scale Geneva would name the variety. Why it takes so long? You got me, but naming it one thing then having Geneva name it another would cause confusion with the public.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
