﻿SPURMAC 
  (1073) 
  A 
  new 
  spur 
  type 
  Mcintosh 
  found 
  in 
  

   the 
  orchards 
  of 
  Charles 
  and 
  Eleanor 
  Saur, 
  Rt. 
  1, 
  Casnovia, 
  

   Michigan, 
  right 
  in 
  the 
  heart 
  of 
  Michigan's 
  "Mac" 
  country. 
  

   SpurMac 
  colors 
  a 
  full 
  blood-red 
  throughout 
  the 
  tree 
  several 
  

   days 
  before 
  All 
  Red 
  Mcintosh, 
  but 
  matures 
  about 
  a 
  week 
  

   later 
  than 
  the 
  parent. 
  

  

  Fruits 
  are 
  typical 
  Mcintosh 
  in 
  shape 
  and 
  appearance, 
  

   except 
  they 
  have 
  much 
  better 
  color. 
  The 
  flesh 
  is 
  hard 
  and 
  

   crisp 
  and 
  stores 
  well 
  into 
  spring, 
  like 
  Rome. 
  Fruits 
  hang 
  

   to 
  the 
  tree 
  far 
  better 
  than 
  Mcintosh. 
  

  

  Trees 
  of 
  SpurMac 
  are 
  hardy; 
  semi-dwarf 
  at 
  maturity, 
  

   even 
  when 
  grown 
  on 
  seedling 
  root; 
  early 
  and 
  annual 
  

   bearers. 
  Early 
  coloring 
  allows 
  the 
  majority 
  of 
  the 
  crop 
  to 
  

   be 
  picked 
  at 
  one 
  time. 
  

  

  SpurMac 
  fruits 
  have 
  beeri 
  sold 
  at 
  the 
  Saur 
  Market 
  for 
  

   several 
  years 
  and 
  have 
  always 
  outsold 
  any 
  strain 
  of 
  

   Mcintosh.

  ALL 
  RED 
  MclNTOSH 
  — 
  IMPERIAL 
  MclNTOSH 
  

  

  (1021) 
  Our 
  own 
  special 
  selected 
  strain 
  of 
  the 
  famous 
  

   Mcintosh 
  apple. 
  Known 
  in 
  some 
  areas 
  as 
  Imperial 
  

   Mcintosh, 
  this 
  fine 
  apple 
  brings 
  the 
  grower 
  excellent 
  

   blush-red 
  color, 
  large 
  size, 
  and 
  consistent 
  crops. 
  This 
  is 
  

   the 
  finest 
  red 
  strain 
  of 
  Mcintosh 
  we 
  have 
  ever 
  seen. 
  

  

  MACOUN 
  (1035) 
  Very 
  highly 
  colored, 
  having 
  no 
  

   stripe. 
  Quality 
  superior 
  to 
  Mcintosh, 
  same 
  textured 
  

   fruits, 
  hangs 
  to 
  the 
  tree 
  better 
  than 
  Mcintosh, 
  and 
  ripens 
  

   one 
  to 
  two 
  weeks 
  after 
  Cortland. 
  Tree 
  about 
  equal 
  to 
  

   Mcintosh, 
  a 
  regular 
  bearer, 
  and 
  strongly 
  recommended 
  to 
  

   lengthen 
  the 
  Mcintosh 
  season. 
  

  

  CORTLAND 
  (1023) 
  Similar 
  to 
  Mcintosh. 
  Fruits 
  are 
  

   more 
  oblate, 
  average 
  larger 
  and 
  are 
  more 
  uniform 
  in 
  size; 
  

   they 
  have 
  more 
  color 
  and 
  the 
  red 
  is 
  lighter 
  and 
  brighter, 
  

   the 
  striping 
  and 
  splashes 
  are 
  laid 
  on 
  differently. 
  The 
  taste 
  

   of 
  Cortland 
  can 
  hardly 
  be 
  distinguished 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  

   Mcintosh; 
  the 
  flesh 
  is 
  firmer 
  but 
  just 
  as 
  juicy. 
  The 
  apples 
  

   do 
  not 
  drop 
  so 
  readily 
  and 
  ship 
  better.

  Blossoms

  apple 
  from 
  

   Japan 
  that

  Fruits 
  are 
  

   generally 
  larger 
  than 
  Yellow 
  Delicious 
  and 
  with 
  coarser 
  

   flesh. 
  A 
  possible 
  replacement 
  for 
  Yellow 
  Delicious 
  because 
  

   of 
  its 
  resistance 
  to 
  spray 
  injury,
