Lead (No. 362) is a Russian apple entry in N. E. Hansen's 1902 bulletin A Study of Northwestern Apples. Hansen separates it from the true Lead, listed as No. 3 M. He says the material received by J. B. Mitchell of Cresco, Iowa was smaller and earlier than the true form. [S1]
The fruit is medium sized, roundish, and somewhat cylindrical. The skin is yellow, with many minute white dots that are obscure and suffused. The cavity has stellate russet. The stem is short. The basin is flat and strongly corrugated. The calyx is closed, with divergent segments. [S1]
The flesh is white, juicy, subacid, and rated good. Hansen gives the season as August and September, making it an early to early fall apple in this source. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone or winter survival statement is given for Lead (No. 362). Its cold climate relevance comes from its Russian origin and its inclusion in Hansen's northern apple evaluation bulletin, not from a specific hardiness claim. [S1]
Parentage is not reported. The numbered name appears to refer to imported or trial material. Hansen's note mainly clarifies identity: this No. 362 material should not be confused with the true Lead, No. 3 M. [S1]
