64 FRUIT FARMING 



bushels in the short year 1909, and marketed them 

 from the tree direct at a good price ; large prices 

 have been made at orchard auctions. October 

 December. 



25. Bismarck Tree compact and pendulous. This 

 never fails to crop heavily, and the large fruits sell 

 equally well from the tree or stored. Best in a warm 

 soil in the South ; it does not colour well in the 

 Midlands. November, keeping till January. 



26. Norfolk Beauty Growth free and branching, a 

 valuable Apple, bearing freely in many parts, of 

 splendid cooking quality, fruits globular, very large, 

 pale yellow, very fine, keeping well until Christmas ; 

 tree requires to be well pruned as it makes much 

 thin wood. 



27. Royal Jubilee Introduced by my firm, of a rich 

 golden yellow, keeping till January, or may be sold 

 from the tree direct; a great bearer; tree compact, 

 medium size ; blossoms late, and so can be planted 

 in districts liable to late frosts ; while by its late 

 leafage it escapes the winter moth. 



28. Tower of Glamis Tree spreading; a valuable 

 orchard kind ; fruit large and heavy ; a good regular 

 bearer when 10 years old; vigorous. November 

 January. 



29. Alfriston Tree compact and hardy in growth, 

 good as orchard or bush tree ; stores well ; fruit large. 

 January. 



30. Lane's Prince Albert Wonderful for crop and 

 beauty, keeping well till March ; best as a plantation 

 tree. The finest large late Apple for Dwarf trees. 



" It is the heavier and later fruits which suffer most by Autumn gales, and therefore 

 such kinds are better in a sheltered orchard." Year's Work.
