Jim,
In Quebec, zone 4, I like:
by mid-august,
Yellow Transparent - the first one to ripen, very productive although
tendency to be biennal, no scab
Red Astrachan - a few days later, better quality, a bit of scab
In the prairies, Norland is a popular early apple. However, it doesn't
perform well in my orchard.

And, about 10 days later, by end of august:
Redfree and William's Pride, both scab resistant and good quality (for the
season). Redfree has less acidity, William's Pride is more zippy. I am
quite satisfied with both.

Claude
