THE WISE MAN SELECTS AND PLANTS BOUNTIFUL RIDGE GROWN TREES 



The CORTLAND apple becomes more and more 

 popular on the large commercial markets each 

 year. Its great beauty, unique quality, and un- 

 paralled producing record for young trees and its 

 adaptation over wide fruit growing areas will 

 undoubtedly make the CORTLAND one of our 

 most popular and profitable fall apples. No plant- 

 ing in the Central and Northern fruit sections is 

 complete without a liberal planting of CORTLAND. 



THE CORTLAND APPLE 



CORTLAND 



YORK IMPERIAL 



is an improved late Mcintosh. The 

 fruits of the two varieties are sim- 

 ilar, but those of Cortland are more oblate, average 

 larger, and are more uniform in size; they have more 

 color and the red is lighter and brighter and the strip- 

 ings and splashes are laid on differently; the taste of 

 Cortland can hardly be distinguished from that of Mc- 

 intosh; the flesh is firmer but .just as juicy; the apples 

 do not drop so readily and ship better. 



COLORA RED YORK See full description on page 4. 



This is a fine, hardy, large, 

 red winter apple. It suc- 

 ceeds over a wide range of country. Comes into bearing 

 at four years from planting, bears regularly and heav- 

 ily. The foliage and fruit are remarkably free from 

 scab. The fruit is of medium size, skin yellow and al- 

 most wholly covered with two shades of red. Oct. 1st. 



ALBEMARLE or NEWTON PIPPIN 



Large, smooth skinned, beautifully colored yellow apple 

 that usually brings the highest market price. Can only 

 be grown successfully in certain sections of the country, 

 principally in Virginia and New York in the east. Tree 

 long lived and productive. Our trees propagated direct 

 from orchards in Virginia. 



TTTDT TV Tne Tur l e y is a winesap seedling origin- 

 lUnLLl ating in the experimental orchard of Mr. 

 Burton at Mitchell, Indiana. This beautiful apple is 

 gaining in popularity as it comes into fruiting more 

 generally and has many points to recommend it as a 

 profitable commercial variety. The trees resemble those 

 of the old Staymans, are vigorous and productive. The 

 apples average large to very large. The skin is smooth 

 and colors a bright attractive red almost over the en- 

 tire apple. The flesh is firm, similar to Staymans. The 

 quality is good but cannot be classed as a high dessert 

 apple being superior to Rome Beauty. The value of 

 the apple lies in its handsome appearance, large size, 

 the fact that it is Staymans type and will not crack at 

 the stem and that it is a good cooking and baking ap- 

 ple. As an early winter variety it should have the con- 

 sideration of the planters. 



NORTHERN SPY 



RED NORTHERN SPY 



Large, roundish-conical, of- 

 ten flattened, slightly rib- 

 bed ; handsomely striped with red ; flavor rich, aromatic, 

 mild sub-acid, fine. Keeps through winter and late in- 

 to spring. Oct. 25th. 



Red Spy is typical 

 Northern Spy ap- 

 ple except in color. The Red Spy colors a solid bright 

 red without either stripes or splashes. If you desire 

 more color in your Spy apples plant the Red Northern 

 Spy. 



JJt Jt f^OTTftr V er y highly colored, having no stripe. 

 1 ^"v/VJUli Same quality as Mcintosh, same tex- 

 tured fruit, hangs to the tree better than Mcintosh, and 

 ripens two to three weeks after Cortland. Tree about 

 equal to Mcintosh, a regular bearer, and strongly rec- 

 ommended to lengthen the Mcintosh season and give the 

 Middle Atlantic and Southern growers a Mcintosh type 

 fruit they can grow successfully.

 able apple ever grown in the fruit producing areas of 

 the Central States. Tree vigorous 3 hardy, spreading. An 

 early bearer and very productive. Fruit medium to large 

 size, round approaching conic ; skin smooth, slightly 

 striped, coloring to dull red; flesh yellow, firm, tender, 

 juicy, rich, sub-acid, aromatic; quality of the very best. 

 A splendid late keeping variety. October 10 to 15. 



Keeps in good condition till 

 May and June. Large, round, 

 mottled, and striped in different shades of red ; flavor 

 and quality away above the average; appearance and 

 size are its valuable points ; always sells and always 

 brings good prices. 



THE TURLEY APPLE 



Acres and acres of one year apple trees such as these 

 await your call at Bountiful Ridge. Living: examples 

 of vigor and hardiness they are ready to do their bit 

 for you where-ever they may be planted. 



GALLIA BEAUTY 



The Growers' Choice Wherever It Is Producing 



It leads all other Red Rome Beauty type apples. 

 It can rightfully be called "One Of America's 

 Most Beautiful Apples". Demand the Gallia Beau- 

 ty when planting the Red Rome type apple. 



The Gallia Beauty originated in Ohio and is a typical 

 Rome type tree, being thrifty, hardy and productive. 

 The fruit of the Gallia Beauty colors a brilliant bright 

 red, without stripe and seems to be of higher quality 

 than the regular Rome,. Beauty, and keeps exceptionally 

 well in storage. The Gallia Beauty will size up equal 

 to the regular Rome but many of the other inferior so- 

 called Red Rome types will not size up satisfactory 

 and again we urge you to plant only the Genuine Gallia 

 Beauty. We offer you the best and charge you no more. 



One of the best of the long-keeping 

 winter varieties. Does well on al- 

 most any soil ; thrifty grower and fruits young ; bears 

 regular; is of the Winesap type, good quality; coloring 

 a deep dull red almost all over ; flesh slightly yellow.
