\SUPREIVIE/ 



RED DELICIOUS 



New ! EARLY COLORING — EARLY RIPENING — EARLY BEARING 



SKYLINE SUPREME is a tree sport of the Starking 

 variety originating in the orchards of Wm. E. Dalton, 

 high in the hills of the Blue Ridge, near Hendersonville. 

 N. C. It is particularly outstanding because of its early 

 coloring and early ripening habits. 



Fruits of SKYLINE SUPREME reach full color and 

 maturity several weeks ahead of such varieties as Richa- 

 red and Starking, and many days earlier than most of 

 the other recently introduced early coloring types. They 

 color equally well under shaded conditions or in normal 

 light. In the Hendersonville area, where all the testing 

 has been done, fruits of SKYLINE SUPREME have 

 normally had sufficient color by the first of August to 

 pack 100% Extra Fancy. Actual maturity is about 10 

 days later but still much earlier than its closest com- 

 petitors. 



The color of SKYLINE SUPREME is a beautiful 

 blush-red without a trace of a stripe. This fine apple is 

 endowed with a double pigmented layer adding brilliance 

 and lustre to its color. 



L'nder Appalachian conditions, SKYLINE SUPREME 

 tends to exhibit a strong habit toward the sheep-nosed 

 condition which is prevalent among western-grown De- 

 licious. The tree is vigorous, bears young, and sets large 

 crops of good-sized, highly colored fruits. The blooms of 

 SKYLINE SUPREME are similar to and come at 

 about the same time as other types of Red Dehcious. 

 They also need pollination for best results. 



SKYLINE SUPREME is truly of eastern origin, and 

 we feel it is much more adapted to our general condi- 

 tions than types from other areas. From our observations 

 and comparisons of many newly introduced types over 

 the last se^■eral years, we heartily suggest its trial in all 

 Red Delicious growing areas in the eastern United 

 States, even at low elevations. 



SKYLINE SUPREME is a regular tree type sort of 

 Delicious. We have grown them on semi-dwarf (Mailing 

 VII) anchor rooted trees for those who would hke the 

 smaller tree. Price is 10c per tree higher in all grades 

 and quantities than regular apple varieties, standard 

 and dwarf.

KING LUSCIOUS is probably the largest good apple 

 to come to the planter in many years. KING LL^SCIOUS 

 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 httle pruning. Both tree and 

 fruit are resistant to apple scab. 



We beheve 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 inside back cover for color illustration 

 of this new and wonderful apple.
