 TYPIFIES ITS NAME — "RICHER-RED" 



The RICHARED DELICIOUS is a blood-red mutation of the Famous De- 

 licious Apple. No orchardist can overlook these facts about the RICHARED. 

 You have a tree of the same hardy characteristics as the old Delicious, produc- 

 ing an apple with that same appetizing delicious flavor, producing an apple that 

 colors a full bright red, without a trace of stripe, on every part of the tree, the 

 apple attaining this color weeks before we usually pick the regular Delicious, 

 thus enabling everyone who grows it to eliminate the loss from drop apples, to 

 pick earlier, to market earlier, if he desires to do so, to seek a foreign market 

 with a high quality apple that has superior carrying qualities when picked 

 early and to keep it longer in storage for our late markets if desired. 



There are many so called red variations of the Delicious apple being offered 

 todav but EVERY PLANTER SHOULD KNOW DEFINITELY WHAT TYPE 

 RED DELICIOUS HE IS PLANTING. THE RICHARED DELICIOUS IS NOW 

 FRUITING FROM COAST TO COAST AND IS A TRADE MARKED VARIETY 

 THAT CANNOT BE SECURED FROM EVERY NURSERY. CAN YOU AFFORD 

 TO GAMBLE THE FUTURE OF YOUR ORCH.ARD BY PLANTING JUST A 

 RED DELICIOUS? KNOW WHAT YOU ARE PLANTING BY BUYING RICH- 

 ARED DELICIOUS FROM BOUNTIFUL RIDGE NURSERIES.

WRIXPAREIVT 



(U. S. PLANT PATENT NUMBER 388) 



"THE KIXG OF ALL EARLY APPLES" 



Destined to Revolutionize and Rejuvinate Early Apple Production 



".America's Earliest Apple - Ripening Two Weeks Before Yellow Transparent"! 



You will find a color reproduction of the WRIXPARENT from Kodochrome natural Color Photo- 

 graph on the outside cover page of our 1940 catalogue. The picture was taken June 18, 1939, at Mag- 

 nolia, Delaware, at which time a handsome and profitable crop of fruit was being picked from Mr. 

 Mcllvain's WRIXPARENT orchards. 



WRIXPARENT APPLE 



This is a new Bountiful Kidge introduction and 

 cannot be purchased from any other nursery. 



Warning: This is a patented variety and cannot be prop- 

 ogated for any purpose by anyone other than the Bounti- 

 ful Kidge Nur.series. 



Pound as a chance seedling in the Yellow 

 Transparent orchard of Mr. Wrixham Mcllvain 

 near Magnolia, Delaware about 1920. 



Mr. Mcllvain after several years observation 

 determined the variety to be superior in every 

 wav to the Transparent and grafted over his 

 Transparent orchard to this variety. This 2nd 

 generation orchard now 16 years of age has been 

 producing heavy crops for 12 years. A 3rd gen- 

 eration orchard was planted in 1935 and began 

 bearing at 4 years of age. The tree is more 

 spreading than Transparent, vigorous and hardy 

 in wood not being subject to blight and other 

 fungus diseases. The fruit averages large in size 

 being a little more flat in shape than Transpar- 

 ent and packing out commercial sizes of 2y-2" and 

 2%" at picking time. The Wrixparent ripens 

 from 10 to 15 days before the yellow transparent 

 and ripens its fruit evenly so that the entire crop 

 may be harvested in two pickings if desired. It 

 is an attractive light green color without mark- 

 ings : the flesh is white, crisp, sprightly, very 

 fine in texture and does not bruise readily or turn 



dark after bruising. Sub-acid in flavor and un- 

 surpassed as a cooking apple. The fruit keeps 

 well and can be held for 10 to 15 days after pick- 

 ing without storage. The Wrixparent is an an- 

 nual bearer and continues to bear large fruits on 

 the older trees.
