New ! EARLY COLORSNG — EARLY RIPENING — EARLY BEARING 



SKYLINE SUPREME is a tree sport of the Starking 

 variety originating in the orchards of Wm. E. Dalton, high 

 in the hills of the Blue Ridge, near Hendersonville, N. C. 

 It is particularly outstanding because of its early coloring 

 and early ripening habits. 



Fruits of SKYLINE SUPREME reach full color and 

 maturity several weeks ahead of such varieties as Richared 

 and Starking, and many days earlier than most of the oth- 

 er recently introduced early coloring types. They color 

 equally well under shaded conditions or in normal light. 

 In the Hendersonville area, where all the testing has been 

 done, fruit of SKYLINE SUPREME have normally had 

 sufficient color by the first of August to pack 100% Extra 

 Fancy. Actual maturity is about 10 days later but still 

 much earlier than its closest competitors. 



The color of SKYLINE SUPREME is a beautiful blush 

 red without a trace of a stripe. This fine apple is endowed 

 with a double pigmented layer adding brilliance and lustre 

 to its color. 



Under Appalachian conditions, SKYLINE SUPREME 

 tends to exhibit a strong habit toward the sheep-nosed 

 condition which is prevalent among western grown De- 

 licious. The tree is vigorous, bears young, sets large crops 

 of good size, highly colored fruits. The blooms of SKY- 

 LINE SUPREME are similar to and come at about the 

 same time as other types of Red Delicious. They also need 

 pollination for best results. 



SKYLINE SUPREME is truly of Eastern origin and 

 we feel it is much more adapted to our general conditions 

 than types from other areas. From our observations and 

 comparisons of many newly introduced types over the last 

 several years, we heartily suggest its trial in all Red De- 

 licious growing areas in the eastern U. S.; even at low 

 elevations. 



SKYLINE SUPREME is a regular tree type sort of De- 

 licious. We have grown them on semi-dwarf (Mailing 

 VII) anchor rooted trees for those who would like the 

 smaller tree. Price is $.10 per tree higher in all grades and 

 quantities than regular apple varieties, standard and dwarf.

Good Flavor 



KING LUSCIOUS, probably the largest good apple to 

 come to the planter in many years. KING LUSCIOUS 

 was found by the late ^Vm !vl. Dalton of Hendersonville, 

 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 vei^- large, highly colored ap- 

 ple 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, blooming a week 

 after Rome Beauty to make it almost completely frost 

 proof. 



The tree is semi-dwarf in habit, sets its scaflold branches 

 well, and needs little pruning. Both tree and fruit are re- 

 sistant to apple scab. 



We believe KING LUSCIOUS has a place in every 

 planting; not only because of its large size and attractive 

 appearance, but because it is the most frost resistant apple 

 variety we know of. 



Please refer to outside back cover for color illustration 

 of this new and wonderful apple.
