APPLE Trees 



RED YORKING (15a) Another red sport of York 

 Imperial that has merit. We offer this variety to our cus- 

 tomers who have experienced more success with Red 

 Yorking than Colora Red York because of site condi- 

 tions, etc. 



MELROSE (15b) 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 Hve 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. 



'Double red stayman— 201 Type (I6) 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. Our observa- 

 tions show this type to compare very much with our 

 Early Red Stayman. 



RUBY A promising late-keeping apple resulting from 

 a cross between Gallia Beauty and Starking. Ruby has 

 great eye appeal because of its striking, brilliant over-all 

 carmine-red. The tree resembles Rome in growth, bears 

 early and tends to produce annually. Blooms about 

 with Rome and Gallia and just after Delicious. Picking 

 date is about with Rome or just before Stayman. As a 

 dessert apple the flavor is good, surpassing that of 

 Rome Beauty. It is somewhat 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 them than Rome Beauty. 



KING LUSCIOUS (16b) See page 18 for full descrip- 

 tion. Color photo on inside back cover. 



WINTER BANANA (17) 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. 



BALDWIN (17a) Buds were selected from one of the 

 finest producing Baldwin trees ever observed. No type 

 yields larger crops, bears shipment better or is more 

 attractive in color, size and shape than the CoUier 

 Baldwin. It is esteemed as an eating apple and for 

 cooking. 



GALLIA BEAUTY — Red Rome (i8) Ongmated in 



Ohio and is a typical Rome type tree, being thrifty, 

 hardy, and productive. The fruit of the Galha Beauty 

 colors a briUiant bright red, without stripe, and seems 

 to be of higher quahty 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. 



JERSEY RED (18a) A cross of Galha Beauty and 

 White Winter Pearmin. 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 bhght and breakdown. Fruit seems a little better 

 quality than most Roman types. 



ROME BEAUTY (ISb) Keeps in good condition till 

 May and June. Large, round, mottled and striped to 

 handsome shades of red; flavor and quality way above 

 the average. Appearance and size are its valuable points; 

 always sells and always brings good prices. 



^-'REb ROME — No. 262 Type (iSc) 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 

 lik^it better. 



' CRANDALL (ISd) A cross between Rome Beauty and 

 Jonathan. Tree is a moderately vigorous, heavy annual 

 bearer. Lateral branches form wide angles. Fohage is 

 not susceptible to apple scab. The tough skin, mod- 

 erately thick, develops heavy wax when in storage. The 

 flesh is yellowish white, firm but fine grained, crisp and 

 juicy. The flavor is mild sub-acid, aromatic, very good 

 to excellent quality as dessert and cooked. Does not 

 spot as Jonathan. 



BOUNTIFUL IMPROVED WINESAP (i9) A glori- 

 fied selection of the famous Winesap with the same 

 beautiful color — same quahty — same keeping abihty. 

 Found years ago in the orchard of The Consohdated 

 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.
