APPLE Trees 



The Nafion's Choice for Fine Fruif Trees of Proven Merit 



EARLY RED STAYMAN (Neipilng's 



WAYNE-SPUR RED DELICIOUS (i2f) A very 



new and promising Spur Type Red Delicious from 

 Virginia. Fruit is produced on spurs along scaffold limbs 

 throughout the tree. Fruits are typical of Red Delicious 

 in shape, are predominantly blushed red and of good 

 size. Wayne-Spur colors earher than Double Red De- 

 licious, but ripens about the same time. Trees are true 

 semi-dwarf and bear ample crops early in life. Storage 

 life and firmness is better than Double Red Delicious. 

 We recommend this fine new apple. 



MUTSU (12g) A new Yellow Delicious type apple 

 from Japan that is highly resistant to russetting. Fruits 

 are generallj^ larger than Yellow Delicious and with 

 coarser flesh. A possible replacement for Yellow De- 

 licious because of its resistance to spray injury, late 

 keeping qualities, vigorous growth of tree, and larger 

 fruit. 



EARLY RED STAYMAN (Neipling's) (i3) Colors 



1009V all over the apple, from 10 to 20 days before 

 the regular Stayman. Growers can pick the entire crop 

 at one picking, if desired, and avoid losses. Cold 

 storage tests show it will keep through to following 

 May and come out with less scald, more flavor and 

 more snap than any other type Stayman. 



CRAB APPLE 



HYSLOP Season September to October; tree 

 vigorous, verv hardy. Fruit medium yellow 

 grounded with heavy shadings of deep crimson 

 and splashes of maroon with heavy blue bloom. 

 Flesh fine, firm, yellow,, astringent. Bears abun- 

 dantly in clusters, which makes tree exceedingly 

 ornamental. 



DOLGO A handsome red crab apple of mediimi 

 size. The fruit jellies easily and makes rich ruby- 

 red jell}'. Tree hardy, vigorous, productive, me- 

 dium size and especially adapted to ornamental 

 planting. 



NORTHERN SPY (U) Large, roundish conical, of- 

 ten flattened, shghtly ribbed; handsomely striped with 

 red. Flavor rich, aromatic, mild sub-acid, fine. Keeps 

 through winter and late into spring. 



RED NORTHERN SPY (14o) Red Spy is a t^-pical 

 Northern Spy except in color. The Red Spy colors a 

 sohd bright red without either stripes or splashes. If you 

 desire more color in your Spy apples, plant the Red 

 Northern Spy. 



TURLEY (Mb) The trees resemble StajTnan and are 

 \igorous, rapid growers, productive and early bearing. 

 The apples average large to vers' large; skin smooth, 

 coloring a bright attractive red over the entire apple. 

 Flesh is firm; qualitj' is good but cannot be classed as 

 a high dessert apple. The value of this apple hes in the 

 fact that it will not crack imder normal conditions. 



COLORA RED YORK (15) Earher coloring, earlier 

 picking, greater profits. The tree of Colora Red York 

 has the same rugged characteristics as the old York 

 Imperial, but will color 1009v: over the entire tree under 

 most conditions. The Colora Red York can be picked 

 from one to two weeks earlier 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. 



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 Sta^'- 

 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 imdertone. Fruits larger than 

 Jonathan — firm, crisp, juic3% not as tart as Jonathan or 

 as sweet as Dehcious. 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 earher and does not get the dark 

 shade often found in some Stayman types. 



RUBY (16a) A promising late-keeping apple. Ruby 

 has great eye appeal because of its striking, brilliant 

 over-all carmine-red. The tree resembles Rome in 

 growth, bears early and produces annually. Blooms 

 about with Gallia and just after Dehcious. Picking date 

 is about with Rome or just before Stayman. The flavor 

 is good, surpassing that of Rome Beauty. It is some- 

 what 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 than Rome Beauty.
