We Grow the Best For Our Patrons 



BLAXTAYMAN 



MARKED 



from grafts set the first year from the original tree and the 

 following year we took buds and grafts from these and 

 worked them on other trees bringing them to fruiting: as 

 soon as possible. Our every hope was fulfilled when these 

 top worked trees came into fruiting and proved that the 

 full red color of the fruit would carry through to coming 

 generations of trees and give to the fruit growing world a 

 BLOOD RED STAYMANS WINESAP APPLE. This will 

 mean millions of dollars in time to come to the fruit grower 

 for with its BLOOD RED COLOR the apple brought with it 

 a thicker and tougher skin. 



Continued tests have proven that the Blaxtayman colors 

 a beautiful solid RED all over without a trace of a stripe. 

 That it does not crack at the stem as the old Staymans. 

 That it is crisp and juicy and that it has the same excellent 

 flavor as the Staymans Winesap. That the Blaxtayman has 

 a firmer texture and a thicker skin than the regular Stay- 

 mans and will not scald in storage, which enables the 

 grower to pick it earlier and keep it longer. It has every- 

 thing to recommend it, a few of its advantages over the 

 Staymans are: Earlier Coloring * * * A Full Red Color * * * 

 More Extra Fancy Apples * * * Earlier Picking— No Wind- 

 falls * * * Does Not Crack * * * No Scald In Storage 

 * * * Advantage of Earlier Marketing * * * Better Keeper 

 for Late Market * * * More Profits. 

 It pays to plant the best regardless of price and every alert orchardist should choose his varieties by looking_ into 

 the future and visioning what competition he will have to meet when these trees now set come into heavy fruiting. 

 You should plant the best of each type of fruit, varieties that will sell at any time for this is what makes your orchard 

 profitable. You cannot discount the advantages to be realized from planting an apple that colors a full BRIGHT RED 

 and has the shape and quality of the old Staymans with the added advantage of the fruit not cracking and holding better 

 in storage and we urge that if you desire the Staymans type of fruit plant the Blaxtayman by all means not for the 

 present but for your future market. We have further reduced the price this year and are trying to meet you in every 

 way possible for we want you to succeed. Plant liberally of these Red sports. They are bound to be winners for you. 

 Our trees are fine this year both one and two-year olds. ORDER NOW. Prices same as Richared Delicious on op-

 AMERICAN FRUIT GROWERS ORCHARD MANAGER WILL ENTIRELY REPLACE PLANTING OF COMMON 



An ALL RED STAYMAN WINESAP apple with every 

 merit of this great favorite among apples. 



An apple that is as large an improvement over the Stay- 

 mans Winesap as the RICHARED is over the Delicious. 



The management of the Bountiful Ridge Nurseries are 

 proud of the privilege to offer their patrons another Blood 

 Red apple as a companion to the Blood Red Delicious. This 

 apple was found among a planting of 75 Stayman Winesap 

 trees planted in 1906. From the start it has produced apples 

 which were in sharp contrast with apples from the other 

 Staymans Winesap trees. The tree was a typical STAY- 

 MAN'S WINESAP tree in every way, having the same type 

 of foliage and habits of growth but the fruit was a SOLID 

 BLOOD RED, without a trace of stripe, over the entire tree. 

 It was also noticed that it got this very attractive color at 

 least ten days before the other Stayman Winesaps in the 

 same orchard began to color any noticeable amount, even 

 though the fruit came to maturity at apparently the same 

 time. 



Realizing the advantages of this Blood Red color of the 

 apple and still retaining the full quality of the old Stay- 

 mans, tests were made to be be sure the tree would repro- 

 duce true to type. We top worked some trees in the orchard 

 and set buds in the nursery for three years, taking buds 



MAKES LARGE PLANT OF "RICHARED" 



Wenatchee, Wash., October 24, 1927. 

 Last spring I decided to set out an orchard of my own, 

 and my observations over a period of years led me to be- 

 lieve that I wanted a large portion of my own orchard 

 planted to Delicious, as it has been a consistent money 

 getter for the grower in this district. After a good deal of 

 deliberation, I decided that your "RICHARED" Delicious 

 was the apple I wanted on account of solid, blood red, early 

 coloring, early picking, less liability of loss from drop, 

 large percentage of Extra Fancy, as this colors so much 

 more than the common Delicious, coloring even in the 

 shade and dense foliage, together with better keeping 

 qualities. All these qualities convinced me that this was 

 the profitable apple for me to plant, and I did plant about 

 one thousand of them last spring. They were good trees 

 and have made very satisfactory growth. 

 Yours very truly, 



FRANK. H. AYERS. 



Mr. Ayers is orchard manager of the 276-acre Birchmont 

 Orchards, belonging to the American Fruit Growers, and 

 has been in charge of this immense orchard for the last 

 seven years. In addition to Mr. Ayers' personal plant the 

 American Fruit Growers also planted many "RICHARED" 

 Delicious trees this past year.

I have seen and observed your new strain of Delicious 

 the "RICHARED," both on the original parent tree and 

 also the apples on the young trees, and in my opinion you 

 have the most beautiful apple in the world. It is certainly 

 marvelous to see these, full blood red color in August, 

 while Delicious on adjoining trees are still green. This 

 added color with advantages of earlier picking, earlier 

 marketing, firmer apples, more extra fancies, no loss from 

 "Windfalls," and better keeping qualities, convinces me 

 that in the "Richared" Delicious you have an apple worth 

 millions of dollars to the apple industry of the world. 



I have seen and tasted your "Richared" Delicious which 

 the records at the cold storage plant showed were kept 

 in cold storage for three (3) seasons— apples picked in 1925 

 and still firm, crisp and juicy in September, 1927, two years 

 later. 



I have no hesitancy in stating that in my opinion the 

 "Richared" Delicious will entirely replace plantings of 

 common Delicious and that it is a better apple from every 

 standpoint.

The Monmouth Beauty Apple 



Introduced by us in 1925 we can truthfully say that it is one of the finest midseason commercial apples now in cultivation. 

 Originating in Monmouth County, N. J., it has proven itself to be hardy and a thrifty grower, a regular bearer of large 

 to very large, almost solid red apples of superior quality for cooking and eating purposes. Has tough skin with white 

 flesh and juicy. Ships well and keeps well for a summer apple. It has now been fruited in several widely distributed 

 sections and we feel can now be classed among the tried and tested profitable varieties to grow. It being a large apple 

 ripening just after the Duchess and before Wealthy fills a place where it has very little competition and brings good 

 prices. The tree is spreading in growth and bears very young. We have some unusually fine 2-year stock this year. 

 Prices have again been reduced. Now is the opportune time to plant them.
