Wiki Draft

Adonis is a standard apple listed in prairie fruit literature as a seedling of Wealthy. The directory entry connects it to CEF in 1905 and also lists M.B. Davis, placing it in the early Canadian experimental and reference network rather than as an anonymous local apple. [S1]

The published description that survives is brief. It does not give a full description of the fruit or tree, but it does identify Adonis as a standard apple rather than a crabapple. Smithfield is named as the reference authority for the entry, which suggests the cultivar remained known through experimental farm or reference records even when fuller notes were not preserved in this source. [S1]

Its main significance here is its pedigree. As a Wealthy seedling, Adonis belongs to the group of prairie and northern apples descended from one of the foundational hardy cultivars in Canadian and northern U.S. fruit growing. This source does not add details on ripening, storage, flavor, disease, or hardiness beyond its inclusion in a prairie apple compendium, so those points remain open pending stronger records. [S1]
