The Alaska Pioneer Fruit Growers Society hold an apple tasting every year in
Anchorage and rate the apples on their dessert qualities on a scale of 1 to
10 with 10 being the higest rating.  Every year the Yellow Transparent gets
grades of 5 to 7.  I can't say that I can rate it that high the way it grows
here in Ketchikan.  Jerry Appleseed
