colored, and not of as good quality as Mcintosh and Fameuse. Ripens 

 about two weeks later. Flesh has the characteristic whiteness of this 

 type. Not as easily russetted by spray or as liable to scab as the above 

 variety. Valuable for dessert and market. 



Stark: — The tree is vigorous, thrifty and very productive. The fruit 

 is large, firm, of fair quality, and greenish-yellow in color. Often lacks 

 color. Its productiveness, firmness and good keeping qualities make a 

 good market api)le. A very good shipper. Quality is deficient for dessert 

 but is suitable for culinary purposes. Season December to May. 



Stuart (Golden) : — A rather small, yellow apple, regular roundish- 

 oblate. Quality is very good. Firm and a good keeper. The tree is 

 vigorous and moderately thrifty. A fairly good bearer. Very good to 

 set in the home plat for winter dessert purposes. Too small for market. 

 Season November to March. 



Titovka : — A Russian apple of the Duchess type. Ripens at about the 

 same time but is somewhat larger and more oblong than that variety. 

 The trees are not as thrifty growers, and the habit is more open and 

 spreading. Vigorous. Fully equal to the Duchess except in growth. 



Tolman : — A ])opular yellow, sweet, winter a])ple. The color is attract- 

 ive and its quality good. It is especially desirable for kitchen purposes. 

 The tree is very hardy, moderately vigorous and quite productive. Tex- 

 ture is firm but on account of its color the fruit shows bruises easily. 

 Very desirable for kitchen use and for market in a small way. Season 

 October to March. 



Wagener: — Yery productive, often overbearing. Comes into bearing 

 early, and is comparatively short-lived. Is often used as a filler. Form 

 of fruit is distinctly oblate. Color yellow, striped and shaded with 

 bright red. It is very desirable for dessert and culinary purposes. The 

 tree is not a very thrifty grower. Season November to April. Fruit is 

 apt to scald in cold storage. Valuable for market.

 form. The tree is a xory hardy, thrifty grower and biennial beaivr. It

 but somewhat tender and on account of its color shows bruises easily. 

 Its color is a very attractive yellow. It is superior to Duchess for 

 both culinary and dessert purjioses but does not bear quite as well.
