  THAT 
  PROMISES 
  TO 
  REVOLUTIONIZE 
  THE 
  FUTURE 
  OF 
  

   THE 
  DELICIOUS 
  APPLE 
  

  

  ORIGIN— 
  In 
  the 
  spring 
  of 
  1910 
  Mr. 
  G. 
  T. 
  Richardson 
  

   planted 
  near 
  Monitor, 
  Washington, 
  an 
  orchard 
  consist- 
  

   ing 
  of 
  425 
  Delicious 
  apple 
  trees. 
  When 
  the 
  orchard 
  came 
  

   into 
  bearing 
  Mr. 
  Lewis 
  Richardson, 
  the 
  present 
  owner, 
  

   noticed 
  that 
  the 
  apples 
  on 
  one 
  tree 
  were 
  much 
  deeper 
  

   red 
  in 
  color 
  than 
  any 
  of 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  adjoining 
  trees. 
  

   He 
  did 
  not 
  at 
  once 
  pay 
  much 
  attention 
  to 
  this 
  seemingly 
  

   freak 
  tree, 
  but 
  when 
  the 
  tree 
  continued 
  to 
  bear 
  these 
  

   large, 
  highly 
  colored 
  apples 
  he 
  was 
  amazed, 
  and 
  con- 
  

   cluded 
  that 
  here 
  was 
  a 
  definite 
  variation 
  from 
  the 
  other 
  

   Delicious 
  and 
  one 
  that 
  would 
  prove 
  valuable. 
  Accord- 
  

   ingly 
  he 
  showed 
  the 
  fruit 
  to 
  the 
  management 
  of 
  the 
  

   Columbia 
  & 
  Okanogan 
  Nursery 
  Company 
  of 
  Wenatchee, 
  

   Washington. 
  After 
  an 
  investigation 
  which 
  revealed 
  

   that 
  the 
  apples 
  from 
  this 
  tree 
  were 
  a 
  true 
  Delicious 
  in 
  

   every 
  way 
  except 
  for 
  the 
  increased 
  color. 
  The 
  Nursery 
  

   Company 
  saw 
  that 
  here 
  was 
  an 
  apple 
  that 
  was 
  worth 
  

   millions 
  of 
  dollars 
  to 
  the 
  fruit 
  industry 
  of 
  the 
  world 
  

   providing 
  the 
  tree 
  could 
  be 
  propagated 
  and 
  grown 
  that 
  

   would 
  produce 
  fruit 
  identical 
  with 
  the 
  parent 
  tree. 
  They 
  

   accordingly 
  entered 
  into 
  negotiations 
  with 
  Mr. 
  Lewis 
  

   Richardson, 
  the 
  son 
  of 
  the 
  original 
  owner, 
  and 
  who 
  is 
  

   now 
  owner 
  of 
  the 
  orchard, 
  and 
  secured 
  the 
  exclusive 
  

   propagating 
  rights 
  from 
  this 
  tree. 
  Then 
  they 
  grafted 
  

   several 
  surrounding 
  trees 
  and 
  budded 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  young 
  

   nursery 
  trees 
  from 
  the 
  original 
  tree, 
  to 
  see 
  if 
  this 
  color 
  

   would 
  carry 
  through 
  to 
  the 
  next 
  generation. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  year 
  buds 
  were 
  taken 
  from 
  these 
  grafts 
  

   and 
  again 
  the 
  following 
  year 
  buds 
  were 
  taken 
  from 
  buds 
  

   set 
  the 
  year 
  before, 
  giving 
  us 
  three 
  generations 
  of 
  trees. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  fall 
  of 
  1925 
  the 
  first 
  grafts 
  set 
  bore 
  fruit 
  iden- 
  

   tical 
  with 
  the 
  parent 
  tree. 
  SOLID 
  RED 
  — 
  NO 
  

   STRIPE 
  WHATEVER, 
  even 
  in 
  the 
  shaded 
  portions 
  of 
  

   the 
  tree, 
  getting 
  this 
  brilliant 
  color 
  about 
  two 
  to 
  three 
  

   weeks 
  before 
  the 
  fruit 
  on 
  the 
  old 
  Delicious 
  trees 
  nearby 
  

   began 
  to 
  color 
  any 
  noticeable 
  amount. 
  In 
  1926 
  and 
  1927 
  

   two 
  other 
  generations 
  of 
  this 
  remarkable 
  fruit 
  bore 
  and 
  

  

  the 
  fruit 
  was 
  identical 
  with 
  the 
  parent 
  tree 
  It 
  was 
  then 
  

   released 
  to 
  the 
  planters 
  for 
  orchard 
  planting 
  being 
  called 
  

   and 
  trade-marked 
  "RICHARED" 
  DELICIOUS.

  DESCRIPTION— 
  The 
  RICHARED 
  DELICIOUS 
  is 
  a 
  

   blood-red 
  mutation 
  of 
  the 
  Famous 
  Delicious 
  Apple 
  that 
  

   promises 
  to 
  revolutionize 
  the 
  growing 
  of 
  Delicious 
  ap- 
  

   ples. 
  No 
  orchardist 
  can 
  overlook 
  these 
  facts 
  about 
  the 
  

   RICHARED. 
  You 
  have 
  a 
  tree 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  hardy 
  char- 
  

   acteristics 
  as 
  the 
  old 
  Delicious, 
  producing 
  an 
  apple 
  

   with 
  that 
  same 
  appetizing, 
  delicious 
  flavor, 
  producing 
  

   an 
  apple 
  that 
  colors 
  a 
  full 
  bright 
  red, 
  without 
  a 
  trace 
  

   of 
  stripe, 
  on 
  everv 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  tree, 
  the 
  apple 
  attaining 
  

   this 
  color 
  weeks 
  before 
  we 
  usually 
  pick 
  the 
  regular 
  De- 
  

   licious, 
  thus 
  enabling 
  everyone 
  who 
  grows 
  it 
  to 
  elimin- 
  

   ate 
  the 
  loss 
  from 
  drop 
  apples, 
  to 
  pick 
  earlier, 
  to 
  mar- 
  

   ket 
  earlier, 
  if 
  he 
  desires 
  to 
  do 
  so, 
  to 
  seek 
  a 
  foreign 
  mar- 
  

   ket 
  with 
  a 
  high 
  quality 
  apple 
  that 
  has 
  superior 
  carry- 
  

   ing 
  qualities 
  when 
  picked 
  early 
  and 
  to 
  keep 
  it 
  longer 
  in 
  

   storage 
  for 
  our 
  late 
  markets 
  if 
  desired 
  These 
  advan- 
  

   tages 
  combined 
  with 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  better 
  than 
  80% 
  of 
  

   the 
  apples 
  will 
  grade 
  extra 
  fancy 
  grade, 
  if 
  properly 
  

   cared 
  for, 
  should 
  make

  profitable
