APPLE Trees 



TWENTY OUNCE (ll) Fruit exceptionally large, 

 juicy and crisp, sub-acid; color green, with slight blush 

 and red stripe. Tree thrifty and very productive, gener- 

 ally recognized as our best summer baking apple. 



OPALESCENT (llc) Very large, brilliant dark red 

 all over. Tree bears when young; very prolific. Average 

 quality. Its size and beauty recommend it for planting 

 in central and northern areas. 



PACIFIC GOLD (lib) Pacific Gold originated as a 

 chance seedhng in southwest Oregon and was introduced 

 in the late 40's by J. E. Miller of California. The tree 

 is moderate in size, with well-spaced, strong, wide- 

 angled Hmbs. It bears when young and yields hea\o' 

 crops annually. The fruit of Pacific Gold is large, with 

 crisp, tender flesh, quite sweet, and of fine dessert 

 quahty. The skin is yellow, looking much like Yellow 

 Delicious and Mutsu. The season is late fall or early 

 winter. Pacific Gold keeps well in storage and should 

 be tried in areas where russetting is a problem with 

 Yellow Delicious. 



SPIGOLD (lie) A very high quality, dual-purpose 

 apple from . a cross of Red Spy x Golden Delicious 

 Matures about with Golden Delicious. Spigold has ex- 

 ceptional quality and should be an excellent home- 

 garden variety. 



YELLOW DELICIOUS ( 1 2 ) This apple is famous for 

 its unique quality, embracing a combination of flavors 

 which is hard to equal. This, combined with the fine, 

 firm-textured flesh of the apple and the beautiful golden 

 yellow skin, at once attracts the eye of the consuming 

 public. The tree, while not a large growing type, is 

 thrifty and extremely productive, coming into fruiting 

 and giving an abundant crop while very .young.

 3NUG6ETI: 



SPUR TYPE YELLOW DELICIOUS 



A new spur- type Yellow Delicious apple. Fruits are 

 borne in profusion all over the trees at a young age. 

 Fruits are similar in every way to Yellow Dehcious. We 

 have found no evidence that Nugget is any more or less 

 susceptible to russetting than regular Yellow Dehcious. 



Trees of Nugget are normally semi-dwarf — about one- 

 half the size of regular trees. They are hardy, very 

 productive, and easy to manage. Pollen is good and they 

 may be interplanted with SkySpur Red Delicious for 

 pollinating purposes. 



Trees of Nugget are on standard rootstocks this year. 

 This fine new spur-type Yellow Delicious will allow 

 you to make extensive plantings of well anchored trees 

 that will be small at maturity. See special Price List 

 for one year trees on standard rootstock only. 



SUNGOLD (12b) A russet-free apple resembling Yel- 

 low Del. found in New Jersey. Sungold is much the same 

 quality, appearance, and shape as Yellow Dehcious. 

 Fruits ripen at the same time as Yellow Delicious and 

 must be handled in the same way. Trees are vigorous, 

 bear young, and are more spurred than Yellow Deli- 

 cious. Sungold is a good pollinator. 



MACOUN (12c) Very highly colored, having no 



stripe. Same quality as Mcintosh, same textured fruit, 

 hangs to the tree better than Mcintosh and ripens one 

 to two weeks after Cortland. Tree about equal to 

 Mcintosh, a regular bearer, and strongly recommended 

 to lengthen the Mcintosh season. 



RICHARED DELICIOUS (I2d) The best of the red 

 sports of Delicious. It has superb quahty, 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 (12e) 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 Dehcious apples. 

 Very similar to Starking. 



Dear Sir: 



Thank you for the letter of Sept. 16 asking if we 

 wanted to purchase items that were sold out last spring 

 when we ordered them. Thank you for your solicitude 

 in this matter and it shows good business procedures, 

 I have purchased some of the missing items from a 

 local nursery but may still have to send an order to 

 you. Your .stock grows better than most of the stock I 

 buy. 



Thank you, 



Brother Philip, Bursar.
