APPLE Trees 



MONROE <i7b) 



A resulting cross between Jonathan 



and Rome Beauty was introduced ^i PAR AGON ^^^^ 



by New York Experimental station in 1949. Tree resembles 

 that of the Rome Beauty in appearances and growth while 

 the fruits resemble the Jonathan and both appear to have no 

 major faults, tree being vigorous, upright-spreading and an- 

 nual bearer. Fruits large, roundish-conic, resembling a well 

 colored Baldwin with brighter color as Jonathan. Apple 

 flesh is light yellow, crisp, juicy, mildy sub-acid, quality 

 good for dessert or processing. A winter apple ripening af- 

 ter Baldwin and before Rome. It can be recommended for 

 planting throughout the Central and North Eastern fruit 

 areas. Can supply in 1 yr. trees only, during spring 1957. 



GALLIA BEAUTY (Red Rome) ds) 



It leads other Red Rome Beauty type apples. It can 

 rightfully be called "One of America's Most Beautiful 

 Apples." Demand the Gallia Beauty when planting 

 the R«d Rome type apple. 



The Gallia Beauty originated in Ohio and is a typical Rome 

 type tree, being thrifty, hardy and productive. The fruit of 

 the Gallia Beauty colors a brilliant bright red, without stripe 

 and seems to be of higher quality than the regular Rome 

 Beauty and keeps exceptionally well in storage. The Gallia 

 Beauty will size up equal to the regular Rome but many of 

 the other inferior so-called Red Rome types will not size up 

 satisfactorily and again we urge you to plant only the Gen- 

 uine Gallia Beauty. We offer yon the best and charge you

A RED BUD SPORT OF THE ROME BEAUTY 

 WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT 



L-omes from the orchards of 

 ihere we have observed 

 its behavior "for many years. 



Size alone recommends this strain if nothing else were con- 

 sidered because of the unvarying uniformity of its fruits 

 which will hardly, ever run less than 3 inch minimum with 

 95% running to large grades, under conditions found in the 

 Applegate Orchards. 



Outside of size the color tones in the apple are an attrac- 

 tive red. 



The tree is similar in growtli mid shaiic as regular Rome. 

 One year trees only.
