Proper Variety Selections Will Lead To Greater Profits 
WAYNE-SPUR RED DELICIOUS (l if) A very 
new and promising Spur Type Red Delicious from 
Virginia. Fruit is produced on spurs along scaffold limbs 
throughout the tree. Fruits are typical of Red Delicious 
in shape, are predominantly blushed red and of good 
size. Wayne-Spur colors earlier than Double Red De- 
licious, but ripens about the same time. Trees are true 
semi-dwarf and bear ample crops early in life. Storage 
life and firmness is better than Double Red Delicious. 
We recommend this fine new apple. 
\ MUTSU C'9) A new Yellow Delicious type apple 
from Japan that is highly resistant to russetting. Fruits 
are generally larger than Yellow Delicious and with 
coarser flesh. A possible replacement for Yellow De- 
licious because of its resistance to spray injury, late 
keeping qualities, vigorous growth of tree, and larger 
fruit. 
EARLY RED STAYMAN (Neipling's) ( i2> Colors 
100% all over the apple, from 10 to 20 days before 
the regular Stayman. Growers can pick the entire crop 
at one picking, if desired, and avoid losses. Cold 
storage tests show it will keep through to following 
May and come out with less scald, more flavor and 
more snap than any other type Stayman. 
NORTHERN SPY ('3) Large, roundish conical, of- 
ten flattened, slightly ribbed; handsomely striped with 
red. Flavor rich, aromatic, mild sub-acid, fine. Keeps 
through winter and late into spring. 
TURLEY (13a) The trees resemble Stayman and are 
vigorous, rapid growers, productive and early bearing. 
The apples average large to very large ; skin smooth, 
coloring a bright attractive red over the entire apple. 
Flesh is firm ; quality is good but cannot be classed as 
a high dessert apple. The value of this apple lies in the 
fact that it will not crack under normal conditions. 
■ COLORA RED YORK (14) Earlier coloring, earlier 
picking, greater profits. The tree of Colora Red York 
has the same rugged characteristics as the old York 
Imperial, but will color 100% over the entire tree under 
most conditions. The Colora Red York can be picked 
from one to two weeks earlier than regular York. The 
entire crop can be picked at one time if desired. We do 
not know of any other type that will give the grower 
such attractive apples as the Colora Red York produces.

BOUNTIFUL IMPROVED WINESAP 
RED YORKING (14a) Another red sport of York 
Imperial that has merit. We offer this variety to our cus- 
tomer* who have experienced more success with Red 
Yorking than Colora Red York because of site condi- 
tio^, etc. 
MELROSE (14b) A new late-keeping winter apple 
that is a cross of Jonathan and Delicious. Tree blooms 
later than either parent. Fruits ripen just before Stay- 
man, keep well in cold storage until April, and so far 
have proven free of Jonathan spot. 
Fruits are well covered with an attractive carmine 
and have a live yellow undertone. Fruits larger than 
Jonathan — firm, crisp, juicy, not as tart as Jonathan or 
as sweet as Delicious. Excellent cooking and dessert 
quality. 
Tree bears moderately young, is upright, spreading, 
with good crotch angles, and develops to a reasonably 
large size. 
v DOUBLE RED STAYMAN— 201 Type (15) One 
of the newer introductions which has found favor 
with some growers. Trees and fruit characteristics 
similar to Blaxtayman except that it has a more brilliant 
color which lays on earlier and does not get the dark 
/shade often found in some Stayman types. 
RUBY (15a j A promising late-keeping apple. Ruby 
has great eye appeal because of its striking, brilliant 
over-all carmine-red. The tree resembles Rome in 
growth, bears early and produces annually. Blooms 
about with Gallia and just after Delicious. Picking date 
is about with Rome or just before Stayman. The flavor 
is good, surpassing that of Rome Beauty. It is some- 
what juicy, neither sharp nor sweet but pleasingly mild; 
cooking does not detract from the flavor but seems 
to improve it; whether baked or stewed, the flesh has 
tendency to hold its shape well. Fruits hold well in 
storage into April and May, being less susceptible to 
scald than Rome Beauty.
