Atlas is a standard apple, described as a Winter St. Lawrence seedling from the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. Sources give the Ottawa origin date as 1910 or 1912, and one directory says it was introduced in 1924. [S1] [S2]
Prairie sources describe Atlas as a fairly large dessert or kitchen apple of good quality. The fruit is above medium in size, roundish to conic, and somewhat ribbed, with pale yellow skin washed and striped with orange red. The flesh is described as tender, juicy, pleasant, spicy, and sub-acid. [S1] [S2]
Sources place its season from October to December. At Morden, the tree was described as moderately vigorous and productive. A later prairie directory adds that it does not require thinning. [S1] [S2]
Its prairie reputation was mixed. Atlas was productive at Morden, but a later Prairie Canada source says it was not recommended for Alberta. [S1] [S2]
