APPLElws 



RED YORKING (I5a) Another red sport of York Im- 

 perial that has merit. We offer this variety to oixr cus- 

 tomers who have experienced more success with Red York- 

 ing than Colora Red York because of site conditions, etc. 



I / MELROSE (1 5b) 



A New Late Keeping Winter Apple 



A cross of Jonathan and Delicious. Tree blooms later 

 than either parent. Fruits ripen just before Stayman, keep 

 well in cold storage until April and so far has proven free 

 of Jonathan spot. 



Fruits are well covered with an attractive carmine and 

 have a live yellow undertone. Fruits larger than Jona- 

 than — firm, crisp, juicy, not as tart as Jonathan or as 

 sweet as Delicious. Excellent cooking and dessert quality. 



Tree bears moderately young, is upright, spreading with 

 good crotch angles and develops to reasonably large tree. 



^ BLAXTAYMAN (I6) in the Blaxtayman we have ev- 

 ery characteristic of the famous Stayman apple with the 

 exception that the fruit colors a beautiful solid red. The 

 fruit is equally as large or larger than the regular Stay- 

 man. The trees are equally as thrifty as the regular Stay- 

 man. The apple has a slightly tougher skin which tends 

 to make it keep better in storage and carry better to the 

 markets. The apple has the same shape as the old Stay- 

 man. The flesh finer in texture and more mild in flavor 

 when grown at lower elevations than the old Stayman. 

 The Blaxtayman will not get a dark and unattractive color 

 if allowed to remain on the tree but instead the apples 

 become more brilliant and beautiful. 



CORTLAND 

 Large size, heavy crop, good pollinator, vigorous grow- 

 er, good shipper — fast becoming the growers' choice of 

 the Mcintosh types. 



, Improved Double Red Stayman 

 (201 Type) (I6a) 



One of the newer introductions which has found favor 

 with some growers. Trees and fruit characteristics similar 

 to Blaxtayman 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. 



/i^RUBY (I6b) 



A PROMISING LATE KEEPING APPLE 



A recent introduction resulting from a cross between 

 Gallia Beauty and Starking. Ruby has great eye appeal 

 because of its striking briUiant over-all carmine red. 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 flesh has ten- 

 dency to hold its shape well. Fruits hold well Ln storage 

 into April and May, being less susceptible to scald than 

 Rome Beauty. 



KING LUSCIOUS (I6c) See page 20 for full descrip- 

 tion. Color photo on cover page. 



WINTER BANANA (I7) 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; highest quality. 



BALDWIN (1 7a) 



Buds were selected from one of the finest producing 

 Baldwin trees ever observed. 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 (17b) 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) (is) 



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 regu- 

 lar 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. 



JERSEY RED (ISa) a cross of Gallia Beauty and 

 White \Vinter Pearmin. Fruits are large round-oblate, col- 

 ors a deep attractive red. Very firm and late keeping as i? 

 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. 



ROME BEAUTY (ISb) Keeps in good condition till 

 May and June. Large round, mottled and striped to hand- 

 some shades of red; flavor and quality way above the 

 average: appearance and size are its valuable points; al- 

 ways sells and always brings good prices. 



RED ROME (No. 262 Type) (iSc) 



This type Red Rome comes to us from the far West 

 and has been planted widely in tiie Appalachian fruit 

 area. Its merits over Gallia Beauty are questionable, but 

 some growers like it better.
