Our Trees Are Triple Inspected For Your Protection 
r 
RED GRAVENSTEIN (5) This favorite of many years 
as a summer apple of fine quality and shipping ability 
is now offered in a Red Strain. Large, well colored, with 
slightly yellow flesh of fine quality. Tree is vigorous and 
productive. Ripens somewhat irregularly and should be 
picked several times. 
BEACON (5a) A highly colored, early apple with ex- 
cellent eating and shipping qualities. Ripens just before 
Wealthy and after Williams' Early Red. The tree is 
vigorous, healthy, and a heavy producer. Fruit hangs 
well and can be picked over a long period of time to 
get y the best size and color. Averages 2^-inch fruit with 
mal crop. 
BLAZE (5b) A new Jonathan type apple ripening 
about ZV2 weeks earlier than Jonathan. Fruit is medium 
in size, attractively blushed with red over golden yellow, 
and somewhat less tart than Jonathan. Tree is upright, 
spreading, vigorous, and productive. Blooms two days 
after Jonathan. 
MILTON (6) Typical Mcintosh, coloring full red; very 
good quality, about equal to Mcintosh, being same 
/texture apple. Tree hardy and vigorous. Ripens three 
/to four weeks before Mcintosh or just before Wealthy. 
RED WARRIOR (6a) The tree is vigorous, well 
formed similar to Mcintosh, and bears regularly. The 
fruit is large, normally averaging better than 3 inches. 
The skin is smooth, colored a brilliant red from stem to 
calyx, and does not bruise easily. Its ripening season is 
about -with Wealthy or a little earlier. It is sub-acid in 
avor and is an excellent cooking variety. The apple is 
haped nearly like a Stayman. 
NIAGARA (6b) A 1962 introduction from New York 
which provides a Mcintosh type apple about two weeks 
earlier. In appearance, flavor, and tree habit, Niagara is 
very similar to Mcintosh. Its desirable picking season 
and similarity to Mcintosh should help its commercial 
acceptance. 
WEALTHY (7) This beautiful, moderate sized, bril- 
liant red apple is of fine quality — one of the best of its 
season. It is a relatively good keeper, and owing to the 
hardiness of the tree, its adaptability to cold climates, 
and early bearing habits, it can be profitable as a filler. 
SUMMER RAMBO (8) Large, flat, streaked red and 
yellow, very tender, juicy and fine flavored. Tree is a very 
vigorous, semi-spreading grower, hardy and productive.

SKYLINE SUPREME DELICIOUS (8a) 
Early Coloring 
Early Ripening 
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 Richa- 
red and Starking, and many days earlier than most of 
the other 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, fruits 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 com- 
petitors. 
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, and sets large 
crops of good-sized, highly colored fruits. The blooms of 
SKYLINE 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 condi- 
tions 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 Delicious growing areas in the eastern United 
States, even at low elevations. 
SKYLINE SUPREME is a regular tree type sort of 
Delicious. We have grown them on semi-dwarf (Mailing 
VII) anchor rooted trees for those who would like the 
smaller tree. Price is 10c per tree higher in all grades 
and quantities than regular apple varieties, standard 
and dwarf. 
Dear Sirs: 
First I would like to say that the peach trees I 
received from you last spring were just fine, even with 
the extreme drought we have had this jail the trees are 
doing just fine. I never lost a tree out of the 173 I 
received jrom you. Now I need some apple trees, and 
I know they will be as nice as the peach trees were.
