Wiki Draft

Perkins is an apple cultivar entry listed as a Malinda seedling and associated with Minnesota, with the directory naming it “Perkins (Malinda sdlg) Minnesota.” [S1] It is also described as a standard apple, meaning fruit size is listed at 5 cm diameter or more. [S1]

A historical note says Rosthern tests record it as “Perkins M” in the 1930s with an H3 note, but this detail is only weakly certain. [S1] The same page also gives an abbreviated, uncertain citation (“C&S (Brooks and Morden), Maule?”), so the bibliography detail is incomplete. [S1]
