BLAXTAYMAN l^) 



(Trade IMark Registered V. S. Patent Office)

 Gi'nerally As One of Our Good Commercial Awples. 

 In the BLAXTAYMAN we have every characteristic of the 

 famous Stayman apple with the exception that THK FRUIT 

 COJLORS A BEAUTIFUL SOLID RED. The fruit is equally 

 as large or larger than the regular Stayman. The trees are 

 equally as thrifty as the regular Stayman. The apple has a 

 SLIGHTLY TOUGHER SKIN WHICH TENDS TO MAKE IT 

 liEEP BETTER IN STORAGE AND CARRY BETTER TO THE 

 MARKETS. THE AITLE H.VS THE SAME SHAPE AS THE

REGULAR STAYMAN (<^a) 



Generally known as Stayman Winesap 



Without question the most profitable apple ever grown in the 

 fruit producing areas of the Central States. Tree vigorous, hardy, 

 spreading. An early bearer and very productive. Fruit medium 

 to large size, round approaching conic; skin smooth, slightly 

 striped, flesh firm, tender, juicy, rich, sub-acid, aromatic, quality 

 tli8 very tiest. .\ splendid late keeping variety. 



Improved Double Red Stayman 

 (201 Type) C^b) 



One of the newer introductions which has found favor with 

 some growers. Trees and fruit characteristics similar to Blaxtay- 

 man except it has a more brilliant color which lays on earlier and 

 does not get the dark shade often found in some Stayman types. 

 Our observations show this type to compare very much with our 

 Early Red Stayman. 



RUBY (16c) 



A PROMISING LATE KEEPING APPLE 



A recent introduction of the Ohio Experimental Station result- 

 ing from a cross between Gallia Beauty and Starking. Ruby, as 

 its name implies, has great eye appeal because of its striking 

 brilliant over-all carmine red resembling somewhat a well colored 

 Gallia Beauty. The tree resembles Rome in growth, bears early 

 and tends to produce annually, blooms about with Rome or 

 Gallia and just after Delicious. Picking date is about with Rome 

 or may be picked 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 llesh has tendency to hold its shape well. Fruits 

 hold well in storage into April and May, being less susceptible to 

 scald than Rome Beauty. Can be recommended for planting any- 

 where Rome and Delicious succeed. 



KING LUSCIOUS C'd) 



WINTER BANANA (7) 



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; high&st 

 quality. 



BALDWIN (<7a) 



Hold Your Baldwin Market With Collier Strain— The 

 Best Type We Have Found For Size and Color 



Buds were selected from one of the finest producing Baldwin 

 trees ever observed, and comes from the Charles Collier Fruit 

 Farm at Claverick. N. Y. No type yields larger crops, bears 

 shipment better or is more attractive in color, size and shape 

 than the Collier Baldwin. It is esteemed as an eating apple and 

 for cooking. 



MONROE C'b) 



A resulting cross between Jonathan and 

 Rome Beauty was introduced by New 

 York Experimental Station in 1949. Tree resembles that of Rome 

 Beauty in appearances and growth while the fruits resemble the 

 Jonathan and both appear to have no major faults, tree being 

 vigorous, upright-spreading and annual bearer. Fruits large, 

 roundish-conic, resembling a well colored Baldwin with brighter 

 color as Jonathan. Apple flesh is light yellow, crisp, juicy, mildly 

 sub-acid, quality good for dessert or processing, A winter apple 

 ripening after Baldwin and before Rome. It can be recommended 

 for planting throughout the Central and North Eastern fruit areas. 



GALLIA BEAUTY (Red Rome) (s) 



It leads other Red Rome Beauty type apples. It can 

 rightfully be called "One of America's Most Beautiful 

 Apples." Demand the Gallia Beauty when planting the 

 Red Rome type apple. 



The Gallia Beauty 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 and again 

 we urge you to plant only the Genuine Gallia Beauty. We offer 

 you the best and charge you no more. 



lEpCEV DCn (I8al A cross of Gallia Beauty and White 

 UCROCI KCU l'""' Winter Pearmin. Fruits are large 

 round-oblate, colors a deep attractive red. Very firm and late 

 keeping as is 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 quality than most Roman 

 types.
