Sweet Wealthy is a fall sweet apple grown from Wealthy seed by O. M. Lord at Minnesota City in 1874. The same seed lot also produced Lord's Longfield. Lord remembered other seedlings from it as extremely sour, but Sweet Wealthy was noted as “an excellent fall sweet apple worthy of attention.” [S1]
The fruit is medium sized, roundish, and often uneven. The skin is greenish yellow, with a thin dull red wash, obscure red splashes, and a whitish bloom. The cavity is narrow and regular with stellate russet. The calyx is closed, and the core is closed and rounded. A later compact description also notes ovate cells and a closed core. [S1]
The flesh is white, fine grained, juicy, pleasant, sweet, and rated very good. Its season is September and October, so it is a fall apple rather than a long keeping winter apple. The source presents it mainly as a sweet dessert or household apple, not as a cider or cooking cultivar. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone is given. Its Pomologica evidence comes from its inclusion in N. E. Hansen's northwestern apple study, a South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station bulletin on apple cultivars for northern and northwestern growing conditions. [S1]
The available source gives simple parentage: Sweet Wealthy came from seed of Wealthy. It gives no second parent, no descendants, and no separate taxonomic detail beyond apple cultivar context. [S1]
