To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This variety is doubtless a seedling of the Limbertwig, as it originated from a col- lection of seeds of this variety which were planted for stocks. The general charac- teristics of the tree give additional evidence of such an origin. The tree, however, is more thrifty and vigorous than the Limbertwig. It originated at Lenoir, Caldwell County, N. C, from seed planted by Mr. J. A. Dula, who knows the variety as Dula's Beauty, but under the rules of the American Pomological Society this should be... reduced to Dula. It has not yet been widely disseminated. It is a large, dark red, more or less striped apple of good dessert quality, keeps fairly well, and is a prolific bearer in the vicinity of its origin. It is considered an apple of much value as a long- keeping variety both for home use and for market, and is said to do well either on bottom land which is a sandy alluvial soil or on hills and ridges where the type approaches Cecil clay. The elevation where it is most grown is 1,000 to 1,200 feet.
