The Nation's Choice for fine Fruif Trees of Proven Merit 



RICHARED DELICIOUS (12b) The best of the red 

 sports of Delicious. It has superb quality, beautiful 

 bright red color without stripe, and excellent shape, 

 Trees are hardy, vigorous, and produce large annual 

 crops. Fruits of Richared are large, very handsome, and 

 good. They ripen all over the tree weeks earlier than 

 regular Delicious. Richared is your best bet for eleva- 

 tions over 100 feet. An excellent storage apple, too. 



/DOUBLE RED DELICIOUS (12c) Another sport of 

 ^ Delicious that ripens with a stripe. It is your best bet 

 for an early coloring Delicious at low elevations. When 

 planted in areas over 100 feet, it tends to get too dark 

 and is not as handsome as Richared. It bears young and 

 produces large crops of fine, beautiful Delicious apples. 

 Very similar to Starking. 



^' MUTSU (12d) A new Yellow Delicious type apple 

 from Japan that is highly resistant to russetting. It has 

 been widely tested in this country and is meeting with 

 wide approval. Fruits are generally larger than Yellow 

 Delicious and with coarser flesh. A possible replacement 

 for Yellow Delicious because of its resistance to spray 

 injury, late keeping qualities, vigorous growth of tree, 

 ^nd larger fruit. 



1/ EARLY RED STAYMAN (Nelpllng's) (i3) One of 

 the Finest of the Stayman Sports. Colors lOOCf all over 

 the apple, from 10 to 20 days before the regular Stay- 

 man. Growers can pick the entire crop at one picking, 

 if desired, and avoid losses. Cold storage tests show it 

 will keep through to following Maj^ and come out with 

 less scald, more flavor and more snap than anj^ other 

 type Sta3'man. It's different — it's what j^ou want — it 

 lias the natural full bright Stayman finish. 



NORTHERN SPY (14a) 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. 



yRED NORTHERN SPY (14b) Red Spy is a typical 

 Northern Spy except in color. The Red Spy colors a 

 solid bright red without either stripes or splashes. If you 

 desire more color in your Spy apples, plant the Red 

 .Northern Spj'. 



TURLEY {14c) 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 

 ct that it will not crack under normal conditions. 



COLORA RED YORK (I5) 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 earHer 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.
