110 HOME FRUIT GROWER 



Cox ORANGE. One of the choicest English varieties. Fruit red and 

 yellow, medium size. Tree fair grower. Excellent as a dwarf. 



FALL PIPPIN. Large, yellow, tender-fleshed dessert and culinary variety. 

 Mid-Fall to early Winter, but often difficult to keep late. Unless well 

 sprayed likely to scab. Tree strong grower, hardy and very long lived ; 

 very large with age. 



FAMEUSE (Snow). One of the choicest dessert Apples. Excellent for 

 jelly but poor for cooking. Very subject to scab. Tree medium size, 

 fair grower, hardy, healthy, rather long lived, reliable biennial, almost 

 annual cropper. 



GRAVENSTETN. Splendid red striped, dessert fruit, but unrivalled in its 

 season, if at any time, for cooking. Tree not fully hardy or healthy in 

 some sections; bears rather young and is a fairly reliable cropper. Fruit 

 should be picked several times. 



MAIDEN'S BLUSH. Lemon yellow variety with beautiful crimson cheek. 

 Flesh white, acid, juicy, excellent for cooking. Tree good grower, 

 hardy, fairly long lived, rather precocious and almost an annual bearer 

 of good to full crops. Fruit drops badly on light soils. 



MOTHER. Medium sized red, tender fleshed, aromatic dessert. Tree 

 rather small, subject to trunk and root troubles; slow to begin 

 bearing and only moderately productive biennially. 



WEALTHY. Bright red, medium sized, general purpose. Trees precocious, 

 famous for hardiness, but as they age they are prone to bear much 

 undersized fruit, especially when overloaded. Two or more pickings 

 advisable, because crop ripens unevenly. 



LATE FALL 



BLACK GILLIFLOWER. A very pointed, often dark reddish purple aro- 

 matic dessert fruit not acid enough for cooking. Apt to become 

 mealy when fully ripe. Yields clean fruit regularly and well on good 

 soil. 



GRIMES (Golden). Rich color, excellent flavor, medium size. Poor 

 keeper. Productive but usually biennially. A leading western Mary- 

 land variety. Tree subject to trunk and root troubles. 



HUBBARDSTON. Excellent, but rather large for dessert. Bears young and 

 very heavily but almost biennially. Trunk somewhat tender in severe 

 Winters and susceptible to canker. 



LOUISE. Somewhat resembles Fameuse and Mclntosh in flavor and 

 Maiden's Blush in skin, but is a late Fall to Midwinter sort. Tree hardy, 

 healthy, fairly precocious and moderately productive annually. 



MC.INTOSH. Beautiful rich red, medium sized, delicious, tender fleshed 

 dessert Apple similar to Fameuse, which it follows in season. Tree 

 strong, hardy, healthy. A somewhat slow grower and sometimes not 

 very productive, though usually fairly precocious and almost an annual 

 cropper. 



PECK (Pleasant). Yellow blushed dessert fruit of best quality. Tree 

 often shy bearer, though sometimes prolific; somewhat subject to root 

 and trunk troubles. Unless well sprayed fruit often undersized and 

 ill-shapen. 



POMME GRISE. A little russet of highest dessert quality. Specially fine 

 in the St. Lawrence valley and other cold sections. Distinctly a home
