Red Duck is recorded as an apple cultivar name in N. E. Hansen's 1902 bulletin A Study of Northwestern Apples. It appears in the Yellow Transparent or Transparent Group list. The entry gives no fruit description, origin, parentage, season, or tree traits for Red Duck. The only direct note on the name is "spurious". [S1]
The section is a grouped register of apple cultivars. Yellow Transparent and related names are placed in a Russian influenced Transparent group. Red Duck appears only as a roster entry in that group, not as a described cultivar profile. [S1]
No supported details are available for Red Duck's fruit size, color, flesh, flavor, ripening season, storage, culinary use, tree habit, disease response, breeder, nursery, release date, or hardiness. This source supports only that the name was known to the compiler as an apple name linked to the Transparent group, and that the source called it spurious. [S1]
The bulletin does not explain why Red Duck was called spurious. It may have been treated as an invalid, doubtful, duplicate, or otherwise unreliable name in this catalog context. The reason remains unresolved. [S1]
