Iowa Beauty is a striped apple from Charles City, Iowa, originated by C. G. Patten. Hansen describes it as a seedling of Golden Russet, with large, handsome fruit and a season after Duchess. [S1] A North Dakota nursery catalog also credits Patten of Charles City and lists Iowa Beauty among apples proven for that region. [S2]
The fruit is large, roundish, truncated, irregular, and angular. The skin is golden yellow, striped and splashed with dark red, with minute obscure white dots. Hansen describes the flesh as rich yellow, firm, juicy, acid, and good. [S1] The same description places it in the fall season and says it follows Duchess, giving it an early fall role rather than a long-keeping winter role. [S1]
Pomological classification notes place Iowa Beauty among striped apples and repeat a distinct basin trait: obscurely five-sided and corrugated. [S1] Hansen's fuller entry adds a deep acute cavity, often green; a short to medium stem; a very wide, wavy, corrugated, and wrinkled basin; a closed calyx; a clasping half-open core; a conical tube; and median stamens. [S1]
The strongest growing evidence is regional, not a direct hardiness-zone claim. Northwest Nursery Co. lists Iowa Beauty in an apple section for North Dakota. It says doubtful varieties had been eliminated and the listed apples had made good in the state. [S2] The catalog adds a local account: Patrick Neary of Buffalo was said to have an orchard of Iowa Beauty trees that bore good crops each year, enough that he would plant no other apple. [S2]
These sources give no direct descendant or sibling records. The supported parentage is simple: Iowa Beauty is reported as a seedling of Golden Russet. [S1] Its broader placement is as a Malus domestica apple evaluated in northwestern and northern prairie apple literature. [S1]
