THE LODI APPLE — Photogrraph of Eodi Apple on tree 

 in experimental orchard of University of Md. summer 

 of 1938. Not size and uniform shape. 



LODI (3) (Big Transparent) 



A cross between Transparent and 3Iontgomery released 



by the X. Y. Fruit Testing Assn. in 1924. 



LODI IS PROVING TO BE ONE OF OUR 



BEST EARLY APPLES, 



Largre Size, Firmness and Early Bearing 

 Habits Recommend It. 



The Lodi after being- tested over quite a large ter- 

 ritorv is proving to be one of our most vs'orthy Early 

 Apples. It has the same quality and flavor as Yellow 

 Transparent, but is much larger and more firm. The 

 tree is more spreading and vigorous, bears early and 

 more regular than Transparent. The fruit is a bet- 

 ter shipper and does not show bruising as badly It 

 ripens a few days later than Transparent but due to 

 size can be picked with that variety if desired. Lodi 

 should be interplanted for best results. 



One of Prof. Hansen's hybrids and 

 note worthy for its beautiful red 

 striped fruit and early bearing, often producing apples 

 the second year after planting. This apple comes to 

 us highly recommeneded. Fruit medium quality ; ripen- 

 ing shortly after the Transparent. It is worthy of trial. 

 It should be more adapted to the central and northern 

 districts than to the eastern seaboard fruit sections. 



WILLIAM'S EARLY RED <3b) Mn.^ ,he 



ripen and the largest of all early apples, a better name 

 for it is "Big Red Aople"'. Flesh is white, juicy and 

 slightly tart, tender a'nd crisp. A very good (;ne. like 

 Transparent. l)ears heavily on young trees. 



EARLY HARVEST <« ^iri^.^i&\ "^ 



flavor. Tree mc derate, erect grower, good bearer. 



EARLY McINTOSH «") 



LEADS THE PARADE OF THE McINTOSH TYPES 



HAS SIZE— BEATUY— QUALITY 



WELL ADAPTED TO COMMERCIAL 3IARKETS 



A Mcintosh Hybrid being almost red in color, very 

 crisp and iuicy, with the same high quality as the 

 well-known Mcintosh. A thrifty grower and a regular 

 bearer. Your opportunity to have the McInto-;h type 

 as a very early apple. Cash in on the popularity of 

 the Mcintosh by crowing Early Mcintosh for your 

 markets. 



RED DUCHESS OF OLDENBERG (^") 



Vigorous growth; large: striped: tender, .Iuicy, sub- 

 acid: regular and abundant bearer. One of the hard- 

 iest kind known. 



One of the finest early anple-; jrrown 

 in New Jersey. Can be picked over 

 a long period of time: large and of a fine yellowish 

 color: a great bearer and a valuable market variety: 

 comes into fruiting very young 1 yr. trees only. 



MONMOUTH BEAUTY (5) 



LARGE SIZE— BEAUTY— COOKING MERITS 

 3L\KE IT A FAVORITE FOR MANY GROWERS 



Introduced by us in 1925 and is one of our finest sum- 

 mer apples. Tree very hardy, fruit large: well color- 

 ed, excellent for cooking or eating. It excels all others 

 during its season. Requires cross pollenation for best 

 results. 



STARR (^<^) 



RED GRAVENSTINE <3a) 



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, fine quality. Tree vigorous and 

 productive. Ripens somewhat irregular and should be 

 picked several times. 



MTT TON (6) Typical Mcintosh, coloring full red; 

 ■*■■*"'■■"■'■ ^^■*'' very g()t)d quality, about equal to 



Mcintosh, being same textured apple. Tree hardy and 

 vigorous. Ripens three to four weeks before Mcintosh 

 or just before Wealthy. 



RED WARRIOR <«") 



3Ieets every demand for a mid-summer apple. It's 

 beautiful all-over bright red color, large size, excellent 

 quality and shipping ability should make it a leader 

 for its season. 



The tree is normally vigorous, grows naturally well 

 formed similar to Mcintosh, and bears regularly". The 

 fruit is large to very large, many apples being four 

 inches or better, but normally averaging better than 

 three inches.. The skin is smooth and colored a bril- 

 liatn red from stem to calex without stripe. The flesh 

 is white and of fine texture and does not bruise easily. 

 Its ripening season is about with Wealthy or a little 

 earlier. It is sub-acid in flavor and is an excellent 

 cooking apple. The apple is shaped nearly like a Stay- 

 mans, being a little longer from calex to stem 1 yr. 

 trees only. Order earlv. 



WEALTHY <^> 



This beautiful, moderate sized, 

 brilliant red apple is of fine 

 quality, one of the best of its season. It is a relatively 

 good keeiier. and owing to the hardiness of the tree, its 

 adai)tability to cold climates and early bearing habits, 

 it can be in-ofitable as a filler. 



SUMMER RAMBO <«) 



Large, flat, streak- 

 ed red and yellow, 

 very tender, juicy and fine flavored. Tree an upright 

 grower, hardy and productive. 1 yr. trees only. 



ARE YOU PLANTING 

 EARLY APPLES? 



For the past several years, those apple grow- 

 ers fortunate enough to have early apples have 

 enjoyed good markets and splendid prices. 



At no time in the apple industry has there 

 1 een such a low tree population in early apple 

 varieties as we have today. This is brought 

 about in part by (1) Low prices during the 

 depression. (2) Poor varieties, (3) Heavy tree 

 removal in most early apple producing sections. 

 Early apple growers in all sections removed 

 many thousands of trees without replanting to 

 maintain production. Consequently, today 

 there are very few early apples going into the 

 markets as compared to 1930 and from the 

 present outlook, production will further de- 

 crease for sometime to come. 



During the past few years, new early varie- 

 ties have been brought to the attention of the 

 apple grower, which are a definite improve- 

 ment over the old varieties, not only in size 

 and firmness, but they have better keeping and 

 shipping ability to recommend them. These new 

 varieties should have the attention of all fruit 

 growers who may be overlooking the possibili- 

 ties in early apples. 



We here at Bountiful Ridge, believe that un- 

 less new plantings are made in the very near 

 future, that the growers stand to lose a source 

 of early income which is extremely worthwhile. 

 We will be very glad to advise any grower who 

 may write to us regarding the matter. The 

 Southern apple grower should give early apples 

 top positiou in their planting program. 



Don't let your markets get away from you. 

 Plant early apple varieties this year.
