FRUIT DEPARTMENT 



Apple Trees 



It is an established fact that of all fruits the apple is the most important. 

 It has been rightly called the ''King of Fruits." Unlike other fruits its period of 

 ripening extends nearly throughout the year, and by judicious selection of varieties, 

 an aimost constant succession may be obtained. It is not a luxury, but a staple ar- 

 ticle of food, and the demand for good apples is increasing faster than the supply. 

 Experienced and successful farmers and orchardists agree that there is more money 

 in growing apples than in any other fruit, and that the orchard is the farm's great- 

 est asset. If there is any kind of trees that we specialize in growing, it is the apple. We 

 have discarded all varieties not profitable to the planter, and recommend the follow- 

 ing varieties, giving a brief description of each.

 and abundant bearer. August.

 ductive; extremely early bearer, earliest rip- 

 ening apple known. A handsome red apple. 

 Two year trees in the nursery rows fre- 

 quently produce fine fruit. Flesh, sub-acid, 

 pleasant to eat out-of-hand. Unexcelled for 

 pies and sauce. 



WILLIAMS' EARLY RED— Among the eariest 

 to ripen and the largest of all early apples, 

 a better name for it is "Big Red Apple." 

 Flesh is white, juicy and slightly tart, tender 

 and crisp. A very good one, like Transpar- 

 ent, bears heavily on young trees. 



STARR — One of the finest early apples grown 

 in New Jersey. Can be picked over a long 

 period of time; large and of a fine yellow- 

 ish color; a great bearer and valuable market 

 variety; comes into fruiting very young. 



AUTUMN VARIETIES 



DUCHESS OF OLDENBURG — Vigorous 

 growth; Russian; large; striped; tender, 

 juicy, sub-acid; good; regular and abundant 

 bearer. One of the hardiest kinds known. 

 Ripens in August. 



TWENTY OUNCE— Fruit exceptionally large, 

 yellow and red. Juicy and crisp, sub-acid. 

 Tree is vigorous and productive. September 

 to October. 



ENGLISH CODLING— This apple ranks among 

 the most profitable apples for New Jersey. 

 A good bearer, color green, large in size, 

 a splendid baking apple and sought after 

 very much by city buyers. 



FALL PIPPIN— Very large, yellow, tender, 

 juicy and rich. A general favorite as a fall 

 cooking apple. Pleasant, aromatic flavor 

 when eaten. Tree is vigorous, hardy and 

 productive, but fruit is quite subject to moss 

 spots. Season, October to December. Amer- 

 ican origin (probably seedling). 



GRAVENSTEIN— Ripens continuously during 

 a period of several weeks and should have 

 two or three pickings, beginning in the lat- 

 ter half of August. It continues in season 

 till early October. 



WEALTHY— This beautiful, moderate sized 

 brilliant red apple is of fine quality, one of 

 the best of its season; it is a relatively good 

 keeper, and owing to the hardiness of the 

 tree, its adaptability to cold climates, and 

 early bearing habits, it can be profitably 

 planted as a filler. Season, September to 

 November.
