NOTK 



Tlio ripening order of varieties is designated 

 by bracketed number after the name. Varieties 

 overlapping in ripening season are indicated by 

 sub-letter. Example: Mcintosh and Kendall are 

 same season and are designated as by numbers 

 10a and 10b. We are endeavoring to give the 

 rijening order and not the picking order as this 

 will vary greatly according to the grower and 

 wliere they are marketed. Many of our green 

 apples are picked early for cooking purposes. 

 Otiier highlj' colored red apples are marketed 

 li.ng before actual ripening time and a^ain soil, 

 fertilization and climatic conditions will cause 

 a variation in ripening season. We trust this 

 listiniL,- will be helpful to you. We have endeav- 

 ored to make it as authentic as possible.

 vigorous and bears more regular than Transparent. 

 It should be iiiterplanted for cross polonization. It

 sired. Wi' ask MO addition.nl price for Lodi.

 The fruit is medium to large size averaging 2%" : 

 fair to good quality, suitable for both dessert and 

 cooking. The fruit develops a bright, attractive 

 color when full ripe but when grown for the large

 early apple producing areas of the South. The tree 

 is vigorous, productive annual bearer and comes 

 into fruiting while the trees are young. This va- 

 riety has outstanding |)romise as an EARLY RED

Amherst, Massachusetts 

 TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Aug. 1, 1940 



This is to state that we have examined for true- 

 ness-to-name all the saleable apple, pear, cherry, 

 and plum stock of Bountiful Ridge Nurseries, 

 near Princess Anne, Maryland, and as they now 

 stand in the nursery row all varieties are, to the 

 best of our knowledge and belief true-to-name.

GI,ENTON (8). A seedling of the Northern Spy 

 originating at the Canadian Experimental Station. 

 A new apple ripening with and just after Weal- 

 th.v. The trees are vigorous nicely shaped and 

 annual bearers. The apples are medium to large, 

 liiglily colored with attractive red and good qual- 

 ity for either cooking or eating. We first observ- 

 ed the (ilenton in the Ohio Experimental Orchards 

 at Wooster. The beauty, quality and season of 

 the apple were such that we felt it held real com- 

 inerciul possibilities. It should prove valuable as 

 a good (luality red apple to preeeed the Mcintosh 

 season. 



LOBO (9). Same season as Mcintosh, larger apple, 

 colors earlier, full red, extra quality. Recom- 

 mended for Southern growers. 



I.MPROVED .\LL RED McINTOSH (10). A special 

 selected strain of the famous Mcintosh apple. 

 Solid red color without stripe. Finest type of the 

 .Mcintosh Red strain at present. Both 1 yr. and 

 2 yr. old trees available. 



McINTOSH (lOA) 



Tree vigorous with spreading head, good bearer ; 

 fruit medium to large, briliant crimson, flesh snow- 

 white, crisp, slightly aromatic, good quality. Ripens 

 September 5-20. One of the greatest general pur- 

 pose home and commercial apples ever introduced. 

 IvEND.4LLL (lOB). Has attracted more attention 

 from fruit growers than any other new apple of 

 Mcintosh season. Apples large, whitish, fine 

 grained flesh of Mcintosh. Flavor the same. Ap- 

 ples hang better than Mcintosh. 

 LAWF.YM (lOC). A product of Central Exueriment 

 farm Ottawa, Canada. A cross between Lawver 

 and Fameuse and one of the most beautiful of the 

 new Mcintosh types of apples. Excellent quality. 

 Fine tree growth and fruit hangs well to tree. 

 A very deserving new type of the Mcintosh which 

 should be tried out promptly by fruit growers in 

 the Mcintosh districts. 



CORTLAND (lOD) 



Is an improved late Mcintosh. The fruits of the 

 two varieties are similar, but those of Cortland are 

 inor(! oblate, average larger, and are more uniform 

 in size; they have more color and the red is lighter 

 and brighter and the stripings and splashes are 

 laid on differently : the taste of Cortland can hardy 

 be distinguished from tiiat of Mcintosh: the flesh 

 is firmer but just as juicy: the apples do not drop 

 so readil.v and ship better.

THE CORTLAND APPLE 



Till' COKTL.VND apple be<"omes more and more

 make the COKTL.VND one of our most popular and 

 profitable fall apples. No planting In the Central
