LODI <3) {Big Transparent) 



A cross between Transparent and 3Iontgomery released 



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



LODI IS PKOVIXG 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 earlv 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.

 rkmVJES.rk note-worthy for its beautiful red MILTON ^^^ 



striped fruit and early bearing, often producing apples 

 the second year after planting. This apple comes to 

 us highly recommended. Fruit medium riuality ; 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) Amonjr the 



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

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

 slightly tart, tender and crisp. A very good one, like 

 Transparent bears heavily on young trees. 



EARLY HARVEST (*) ;4l?^r .?e"a.'S?I: 'i^ 



flavor. Tree moderate, erect grower, good bearer. 



EARLY McINTOSH (fe) 



LEADS THE PARADE OF THE McINTOSH TYPES 



HAS SIZE — BEAUTY — QUALITY 

 - WELL ADAPTED TO COM3IERCIAL MARKETS 



A Mcintosh Hybrid being almost red in color, very 

 crisp and juicy, with the same high quality as the 

 well-known Mcintosh. A thrifty grower and a regular 

 bearer. Your opportunity to have the Mcintosh type 

 as a very (^arly apple. Cash in on the popularity of 

 the Mcintosh by growing Early Mcintosh for your 

 markets. 



^TARR (4b) One of the finest early apples grown 

 i.jin,nn iji 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 year trees only. 



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. Requires cross pollenization for best 

 results. 



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. 



ARE YOU OUT IN FRONT 

 WITH EARLY APPLES? 



For the past several years we have pointed out 

 the conditions as we see it pertaining to early apples 

 and again wish to call attention to this valuable 

 early money production. 



Thirty million (30.000,000) apple trees have died in 

 the past ten years from disease, old age and neglect 

 out of which nearly 20 million have been early varie- 

 ties, thus leaving the country shy on early apples. 



The fruit grower has only to follow the early apple 

 sales reports to learn just what the demand for 

 them has been during the past six or seven years. 



During the season of 1946 all early apples of qual- 

 ity brought ceiling prices and better and at no time 

 were the growers of good fruit able to supply the 

 demand. 



New early varieties have been brought to the 

 attention of the apple grower during the past few 

 years which are a d-.^finite improvement over the old 

 varieties not only in size and firmness, but they are 

 better keeping and have better shipping ability to 

 recommend them. These new varieties should have 

 the attention of all fruit growers who may be over- 

 looking the possibilities in early apple growing. 



Here at Bountiful Ridge we believe there is a place 

 in production for early apples now and in the im- 

 mediate years to come and unless new plantings are 

 made in the very near future, the growers stand to 

 lose a source of income which is extremely worth 

 while. 



We will be very glad to advise anyone who will 

 write to us regarding the matter and try to give 

 unbiased opinions for any particular section. 



DON'T LET YOUR MARKETS GET AWAY" 

 FROM YOU. 

 GET THE FACTS, THEN PLANT NOW IF YOU 

 ARE RIGHTLY LOCATED. 



Typical Mcintosh, coloring full red; 



very good 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 GRAVENSTINE c-^^ 



RED WARRIOR <6a) 



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. 



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 filller. 



Large, flat, streak- 

 ed red and yellow. 



WEALTHY (^) 



SUMMER RAMBO <»> 



very tender, juicy and fine flavored. Tree very vigorous 

 semi-spreading grower, hardy and productive.
