KING LUSCIOUS 



U. S. PLANT PATENT No. 1994 (16b) 



KING LUSCIOUS is probably the largest good apple 

 to come to the planter in many years. KING LUSCIOUS 

 was found by the late Wm. M. Dalton of Henderson- 

 ville, N. C, who later crossed it with Red Delicious and 

 King David, resulting in the fine apple which we are 

 pleased to introduce to our trade. 



KING LUSCIOUS is a very large, highly colored 

 apple with good keeping, eating, and cooking qualities. 

 The skin is a deep red at maturity with a beautiful 

 bloom. The flesh is pure white with excellent flavor. The 

 season of ripening is with Rome Beauty and Stayman, 

 although it may be picked sooner for cooking purposes 

 if desired. The tree is a young and annual bearer, bloom- 

 ing a week after Rome Beauty to make it almost 

 completely frost-proof. 



The tree is semi-dwarf in habit, sets its scaffold 

 branches well, and needs little pruning. Both tree and 

 fruit are resistant to apple scab. 



We beheve KING LUSCIOUS has a place in every 

 planting, not only because of its large size and attrac- 

 tive appearance, but because it is the most frost-resis- 

 tant apple variety we know of. 



Please refer to second cover for color illustration 

 of this new and wonderful apple.

JERSEY RED (18a) A cross of Gallia 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 blight and breakdown. Fruit seems a little better 

 ciuality than most Roman types. 



ROME BEAUTY (18b) 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. 



RED ROME — No. 262 Type (i8c) 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 

 like it better. 



BOUNTIFUL IMPROVED WINESAP (i9) A glori- 

 fied selection of the famous Winesap with the same 

 beautiful color — same quality — same keeping ability 

 found years ago in the orchard of The Consobdated 

 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. 



Our Trees Are Inspected For Trueness-To-Name 



PENNSYLVANIA TRUENESS-TO-NAME 



INSPECTION SERVICE 



a service to nurserymen and fruit growers 

 to promote trueness-to-name fruit varieties 



GALLIA BEAUTY — Red Rome (18) Originated in 



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

 hardy, and productive. The fruit of the Gallia Beauty 

 colors a brilliant bright red, without stripe, and seems 

 to be of higher quality 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.
