It is with a sense of pride that we can bring this 

 new introduction of ours to the attention of the 

 people who are interested in Apple culture. 



Its superior size, combined with its good quality 

 and handsome appearance, makes it a leader on any 

 market at its season of ripening, and to this we must 

 add the carrying and keeping qualities of the apple, 

 which leaves it in prime condition when it arrives 

 on the market after being in transit for a number of 

 days or weeks. 



DESCRIPTION 



The origin of this apple as near as we can possibly 

 tell is put forth in the following statement from 

 Mr. C. R. Applegate in whose orchard the apple made 

 its first appearance^ Mr. Applegate says: "Referring 

 to the history of the new apple that I have dis- 

 covered in my orchard, would say that this tree was 

 set in as a filler in a Duchess of Oldenburg block 

 where a tree had died. After this tree was set it 

 died back and a new shoot appeared from the ground. 

 When I pruned the following year I discovered this 

 shoot and my intention at that time was to bud or 

 graft this shoot over later but forgot all about it. 

 The following spring when I pruned I found that 

 this shoot showed characteristics that I was not 

 familiar with, showing thrift and looking promising 

 otherwise, so I decided to let it stand and see what 

 it would amount to. The result was that it has 

 grown to be a fine tree, and it has now fruited for 

 several years in succession, and I think it is far 

 superior to any other apple of this season that is 

 now in cultivation." 



Note: Mr. Applegate is a practical orchardist, cul- 

 tivating successfully several hundred acres of 

 orchards in Monmouth County, N. J. 



Our attention was attracted by this apple in Au- 

 gust, 1924, while in Mr. Applegate's packing house 

 near Freehold, N. J., and we were very favorably 

 impressed with the general appearance of the apple 

 and we asked to see the tree from which the fruit 

 was picked. The tree has semi-dwarf characteristics 

 such as the Wealthy, only more spreading, producing 

 a very rugged growth, wood very hard and tough, 

 the tree growing thin and spreading, giving the fruit 

 the necessary light and air that is so essential to 

 coloring of the fruit early in the season. 



The fruit spurs are evenly distributed from the 



©- 



base of the limbs to the terminal growth similar to 

 the Mcintosh Red. The blossoms are hardy and 

 stand the cold snaps well. The blossoms opening 

 about the same time as the Duchess. 



The market is demanding a large red apple at this 

 time of the year and this apple is beautifully colored 

 with a bright red running off on the calex end of 

 the apple to a slight yellow streaked with red, giv- 

 ing it a very attractive appearance, one that at once 

 catches the eyes of the public. 



The season of this apple is just after the Duchess 

 of Oldenburg or ripening in Monmouth County, N. J., 

 about August 5th to 25th, depending on the season. 

 The apple colors early and hangs well on the tree, 

 giving the grower a long season over which to pick 

 the apple. The apple sizes up well, there being no 

 seconds on the tree hardy, most of the apples grad- 

 ing from two and one-half to four inches.
