APPLE Trees 



Proper Variety Selections Will Lead To Greater Profits 



STARR (4a) One of the finest early apples grown. Can 

 be picked over a long period of time. Large and of a fine 

 yellowish color. A great bearer and a valuable market 

 variety ; comes into fruiting very young. 



SUMMER CHAMPION (4b) A bright red apple rip- 

 ening in midsummer, with good size and fair quahty. 

 The trees bear early and produce hea^T crops. We feel 

 this fine-looking apple should have a place in most 

 plantings of summer apples. It is good for local and 

 distant markets. 



PURITAN (4c) A new Mcintosh type which picks 

 about with Early Mcintosh. It has a fine red-blush 

 color and averages larger than Early Mcintosh. It is 

 more acid than Early Mcintosh and rates fair to good 

 for dessert purposes. Puritan is recommended for trial in 

 orchard plantings.

RED GRAVENSTEIN (5) This favorite of many years 

 as a summer apple of fine quality and shipping ability 

 is now offered in a Red Strain. Large, well colored, with 

 slightly vellow flesh of fine quality. Tree is vigorous and 

 productive. Ripens somewhat irregularly and should be 

 picked several times. 



BEACON (5a) A highly colored, early apple with ex- 

 cellent eating and shipping qualities. Ripens just before 

 Wealthy and after WiUiams' Early Red. The tree is 

 vigorous, healthy, and a heaw producer. Fruit hangs 

 well and can be picked over a long period of time to 

 get the best size and color. Averages 2%-inch fruit with 

 normal crop. 



BLAZE (5b) A new Jonathan type apple ripening 

 about 31/^ weeks earlier than Jonathan. Fruit is medium 

 in size, attractively blushed with red over golden yellow, 

 and somewhat less tart than Jonathan. Tree is upright, 

 spreading, vigorous, and productive. Blooms two days 

 after Jonathan. 



MILTON (6) Typical Mcintosh, coloring full red; very 

 good quality, about equal to Mcintosh, being same 

 texture apple. Tree hardy and vigorous. Ripens three 

 to four weeks before Mcintosh or just before Wealthy. 



RED WARRIOR (6a) The tree is vigorous, well 

 formed similar to Mcintosh, and bears regularly. The 

 fruit is large, normally averaging better than 3 inches. 

 The skin is smooth, colored a brilliant red from stem to 

 calyx, and does not bruise easily. Its ripening season is 

 about with Wealthy or a little earlier. It is sub-acid in 

 flavor and is an excellent cooking variety. The apple is 

 /shaped nearly Hke a Stayman. 



NIAGARA (6b) A 1962 introduction from New York 

 which provides a Mcintosh type apple about two weeks 

 earlier. In appearance, flavor, and tree habit, Niagara is 

 very similar to Mcintosh. Its desirable picking season 

 and similarity to Mcintosh should help its commercial 

 /acceptance. 



V WEALTHY (7) This beautiful, moderate sized, bril- 

 liant 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 adaptabihty to cold climates, 

 and early bearing habits, it can be profitable as a filler. 



i SUMMER RAMBO (8) Large, flat, streaked red and 

 yellow, very tender, juicy and fine flavored. Tree is a verj' 

 vigorous, semi-spreading grower, hardy and productive.

IMP. ALL RED MclNTOSH (Sb) Our o^^^l 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 con- 

 sistent crops. This is the finest red strain of Mcintosh we 

 yhave ever seen. 

 LOBO (9) About same season as Mcintosh, with a 

 larger apple that colors a more full red than regular 

 Mcintosh. Extra good quality. Tree equal to Mcintosh. 

 Comes highly recommended to replace the regular 

 Mcintosh for Middle Atlantic and southern growers. 



CORTLAND (9a) An improved Mcintosh type. The 

 fruits of the two varieties are similar but those of 

 Cortland are more oblate, average larger, and are more 

 uniform in size; they have more color and the red is 

 lighter and brighter and the striping and splashes are 

 laid on differently. The taste of Cortland can hardly be 

 distinguished from that of Mcintosh ; the flesh is firmer 

 b^t just as juicy. The apples do not drop so readily and 

 ip better. 



WAYNE (9b) Result of a cross of N. W. Greening x 

 Red Spy introduced in 1962 by New York. It matures 

 with Cortland, is of large size, and colored a solid 

 scarlet-blush. Flesh texture and flavor verj- similar to 

 Northern Spy. Trees bear early and annually, bloom 

 late. Wayne is a first-class apple for sauce, frozen, and 

 anned slice packs. 



SMOKEHOUSE (lO) Comes into bearing moderately 

 young. It has a thin skin of yellow, striped with rather 

 a dull red, and is very attractive. A favorite of the home 

 orchard.
