Keswick. — One of the best early cooking apples. Cooks well when fruit is not more 

 than half grown. Fruit roundish-ovate, clear greenish-yellow, crisp and juicy. Tree 

 upright, spreading, very productive. 



Oldenburg (Duchess). — The most profitable late summer and early fall market 

 apple grown. Fruit oblate, pale yellow, washed and striped with red. The tree is a 

 good grower and a very abundant bearer. 



Ontario. — A cross between Spy and Wagener and one of the most promising of the 

 newer winter varieties. Size large, oblate, inclining to conic; color whitish-yellow 

 with a red cheek; texture tender; flavor brisk, sub-acid; quality very good. Station 

 trees bore half a crop in 1896, at six years of age, and during the five years following 

 have produced full or nearly full crops each season. November to April. 



Primate. — Tree vigorous, round-headed, productive. Fruit roundish-oblate, inclined 

 to conical; color greenish-yellow, occasionally with a faint blush; flesh tender, juicy, 

 fine-grained; flavor, rich, sub-acid; quality very good. Particularly desirable for home 

 use. August and September. 



Shiawassee. — Very similar to Snow except in shape, being somewhat flattened. Tree 

 upright, spreading, vigorous and quite productive. Superior to the Snow apple. October 

 to January. 



Stark. — A large, greenish-yellow apple with a brownish-red cheek. The tree is a 

 very vigorous grower and an abundant bearer. A desirable market variety. December 

 to May. 



Summer Pearmain. — A valuable dessert apple ripening in September. Size medium, 

 oblong, slightly conical ; color yellow, shaded and streaked with red ; quality best. The 

 tree is vigorous and bears young. 



Wagener. — A medium sized, handsomely colored apple of very good quality. Valuable
