Our Trees Are Triple Inspected For Your Protection 
KING LUSCIOUS 
U. S. PLANT PATENT No. 1994 (15b) 
KING LUSCIOUS is probably the largest good apple 
to come to the planter in many years. KING LUSCIOUS 
was found by the late Wm. M. Dalton of Henderson- 
ville, N. C, who later crossed it with Red Delicious and 
King David, resulting in the fine apple which we are 
pleased to introduce to our trade. 
KING LUSCIOUS is a very large, highly colored 
apple with good keeping, eating, and cooking qualities. 
The skin is a deep red at maturity with a beautiful 
bloom. The flesh is pure white with excellent flavor. The 
season of ripening is with Rome Beauty and Stayman, 
although it may be picked sooner for cooking purposes 
if desired. The tree is a young and annual bearer, bloom- 
ing a week after Rome Beauty to make it almost 
completely frost-proof. 
The tree is semi-dwarf in habit, sets its scaffold 
branches well, and needs little pruning. Both tree and 
fruit are resistant to apple scab. 
We believe KING LUSCIOUS has a place in every 
planting, not only because of its large size and attrac- 
tive appearance, but because it is the most frost-resis- 
tant apple variety we know of. 
Please refer to second cover for color illustration 
of this new and wonderful apple.

King 
Luscious and 
Chesapeake 
JERSEY RED (17a) A cross of Gallia Beauty and 
White Winter Pearmain. Fruits are large round-oblate 
and color a deep attractive red. Very firm and late 
keeping as Rome. Holds to tree exceptionally well. The 
tree is very vigorous, with large heavy foliage resistant 
to flight and breakdown. Fruit seems a little better 
.quality than most Rome types. 
CHESAPEAKE (17b) A fine, new late keeping apple 
with outstanding quality developed by Frank Browning 
of Wallingford, Ky. Chesapeake is a chance seedling 
which seems to embody the best characteristics of the 
Stayman and Rome varieties. It is a large, red apple 
that ripens with Rome. Much like the Rome variety, 
Chesapeake keeps well into the winter, even in common 
storage. Its good flavor resembles that of Stayman and 
is mildly sub-acid. Fruits retain their juices well through- 
out storage and are excellent for fresh or culinary 
purposes. 
Trees of Chesapeake are vigorous, productive, and 
bear at an early age. Blooms appear with those of 
Rome ,and are hardy. Spring frosts are not a problem. 
Treps are available on Standard and E.M. VII Root- 
stocks. 
RED ROME — No. 262 Type (17c) This type 
Red Rome comes to us from the far West and has been 
planted widely in the Appalachian fruit area. Its merits 
over Gallia Beauty are questionable, but some growers 
ljke it better. 
' BOUNTIFUL IMPROVED WINESAP (18) A glori- 
fied selection of the famous Winesap with the same 
beautiful color — same quality — same keeping ability 
found years ago in the orchard of The Consolidated 
Orchard Co. of Paw Paw, W. Va. This strain produces 
heavy annual crops of fruit that, very often, is as large 
as Stayman. The fruit has every characteristic of the 
Old Virginia Winesap in shape, color, quality, and 
growth habits. The tree is typical Winesap, including 
leaf markings. Bountiful Strain Imp. Winesap has be- 
come a favorite with orchardists for local and long- 
distance sales. Especially popular as an extra long keep- 
ing variety for use in polyethylene bags. 
GALLIA BEAUTY 
on page 27. 
WINTER BANANA (16) Vigorous grower; early 
bearer. Fruit medium to large, smooth and handsome 
golden yellow, usually shaded with red blush. Flesh fine 
grained, rich sub-acid, aromatic; highest quality. 
GALLIA BEAUTY — Red Rome (17) 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 satisfactorily. Again we urge you to 
plant only the Genuine Gallia Beauty. We offer you 
the best, and charge you no more.
