APPLE ^ees 



THE L,ODI APPliE— Photograph of L,odi Apple on tree 

 in experimental orchard of University of Md. summer 

 of 1938. Note size and uniform shape. 



LODI (3) (Big Transparent) 



A cross between Transparent and Montgomery released 



by the N. Y. Fruit Testing Ass'n. in 1924. 



I.ODI IS PROVING TO BE ONE OF OUR 



BEST EARLY APPLES. 



Large Size, Firmness and Early Bearing 



Habits Recommend It. 



The Lodi after being tested over quite a large ter- 

 ritory is proving to be one of our most worthy 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. 



Are Highest In Quality — Earliest To Bear — Greatest In Value 



EIN 



RED GRAVENSTINE (^a) This favorite of 

 -^ii.** T *-iAi*-»x Ai^j-i 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. 



MILTON (6) Typical Mcintosh, coloring full red; 

 X J.J.XJ J. v^j.^ very good quality, about equal to 



Mcintosh, being same textured apple. Tree hardy and 

 vigorous. Ripens three to four weeks before Mcintosh 

 or just bfore Wealthy. 



RED WARRIOR <««) 



Meets 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- 

 liant 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. Order 

 early. 



This beautiful, moderate sized, 

 brilliant red apple is of fine 

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

 good keeper, and owing to the hardiness of the tree, Its 

 adaptability to cold climates and early bearing habits, 

 it can be profitable as a filler. 



SUMMER RAMBO <») ISlla S f^^l] 



very tender, juicy and fine flavored. Tree an upright 

 grower, hardy and productive. 



WEALTHY (-) 



ANOKA<3a) 



One of Prof. Hansen's hybrids and 

 n(;te worthy for its beautiful red 

 striped fruit and early bearing, often producing apples 

 the second year after planting. This apple comes to 

 us highly recommended. Fruit medium quality: ripen- 

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

 It should be more adapted to the central and northern 

 district^ than to the eastern seaboard fruit sections. 



WILLIAM'S EARLY RED <3") 1»S^|, '?„<' 



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

 for it IS "Big Red Apple". Flesh is white, juicy and 

 slightlj^ tart, tender and crisp. A very good one, like 

 Transparent bears heavily on young trees.

MONMOUTH BEAUTY <5) 



LARGE SIZE— BEAUTY— COOKING MERITS 

 MAKE 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. Rquires cross pollenation for best 

 results. 



Hardy Under Stock 



Increase Production - Decrease Tree Loss 



The wide angle branches will prevent breakage and 

 open up center of tree on many good commercial 

 varieties. 



A close study of apple varieties reveals that some 

 have weak bodies, and that this can be largely cor- 

 rected if they are double worked on other intermed- 

 iate stocks. These types have been generally ap- 

 proved for tliis work as well as using some of our 

 best known common varieties. Caution should al- 

 ways be exercised in determining, if possible, that 

 your varieties and types are compatible with each 

 other. 



USE THEM FOR BUDDING — GRAFTING — TOP 

 WORKING AND INARCH WORK 



VIRGINIA CRAB ™1,l£li- ^fV'^f^V^ 



wild crabs types, is distinct in its growth habits and 

 resistance to low temperatures and the more com- 

 mon root rot diseases. It is very vigorous, having 

 wide angle limbs and unusually strong wide open 

 crotches. Possibly compatible to more apple varieties 

 than the Hibernal Crab, and in more general use. 

 WE CAN SUPPLY THESE IN TWO YEAR TREES 

 AT SAME PRICE AS OTHER APPLE VARIETIES.

This is merely the common apple seedling that has 

 been used in propogating apple trees for generations, 

 and has proven more congenial to our entire apple 

 varity listings than any other seedling available. It 

 generally succeeds as a root stock wherever it is 

 planted and apple trees can be grown. The reults 

 are generally uniform. We can supply these with 

 two year old strong roots and one year tops in the 

 following sizes and prices :
