Just a thought…you and I should meet at “Reed Valley” sometime.
It’s as close to me as to you I presume.
Funny I have been reading about a strange confluence of Apples all from the same time period that all seemed to have collided and it did not work well from any of them. Early Harvest{Prince in Georgia} was a popular summer apple. But Starr was bigger and very, very similar. Growers found they could pick them in July and sell them as “Early Harvest” and no one was the wiser. Which was nice because “Starr” could keep for 3 months. About the same time both Bunkum and Buncombe arrived. Filling a same market niche as Starr and Early Harvest, And while both were similar highly ribbed apples; Bunkum would drop before ripe; but harvested later then Buncombe.
Lol…Add in Ben Davis and you have a mess.
I’ve heard it described as a hard styrofoam ball- that ships and keeps well. Cortland is it’s most successful progeny.
When you see those Baldwin numbers, it really puts the ‘Great Freeze’ in the 1930s into perspective.
The way the scale worked, in 1995 I had my own ‘dot’ on the nationwide map of goat numbers. 
One thing about that list; the Great San Jose Scale Infestation happened in the 1910’s across the South. Millions of trees were killed off those years.
