BLAXTAYMAN 

 STAYMAN WINESAP (Wa) 



The JONATHAN Al^PLE. ^rown in apple districts from 

 coast to coast lias stood the test of time and ranks today as 

 one of the best general purpose apples. A general favorite 

 of its season on both our domestic and foreign markets. 



RICHARED DELICIOUS d^b) 



See full description on Page 15. 



-^DOUBLE RED DELICIOUS d^*^) 



A bud selected sport of the famous Delicious apple highly 

 recommended for early color on low elevations. 



The description of 'DOUBLE RED DELICIOUS follows 

 that of Delicious except its ability to lay on early color at 

 low elevations which the regular Delicious will not do. 



Many growers experience difficulty obtaining color early 

 enough to compete in early markets where the Delicious is 

 grown at low elevations — for them the Double Eed Delicious 

 is the answer. The apple gets very dark in color at ele- 

 vation of 100 feet or more and we recommend our RICHA- 

 RED DELICIOUS for planting above that elevation. 



Our Double Red Delicious is favorably compared with 

 what is being sold as Starking. 



"nFTir'TOTTQ (13) We no longer propagate the regu- 

 l^rilii^iV^ U O ' lar delicious because of lack of de- 



mand for it with the introduction of Improved types as list- 

 ed above which we recommend to all planters of the red 

 delicious, as it is commonly known. 



Early Red Stayman (Neipling's) <i3a) 



See full description on Page 16. 



RHODE ISLAND GREENING <») 



Fruit large and handsome, smooth, dark green overspread 

 with yellow. Flesh tender, rich, rather acid, but highly flav- 

 ored and excellent : tree vigorous, spreading. 



NORTHERN SPY ("a> ^^ Aanetl " sMgiiily 



ribbed : handsomely striped with red : flavor rich, aromatic. 

 mild suli acid. flne. Keeps thru winter and late into Spring. 



RED NORTHERN SPY <"") ,S N-'ohhl/u W:, 



except in color. The Red Spy colors a solid bright red with- 

 out either stripes or splashes. If you desire more color in 

 vour Spy apples plant the Red Northern Spy. 



A New Late Keeping W inter Apple 



From observations we can recommend this new apple as 

 a companion to and wherever Delicious, Jonathan and Stay- 

 man are being grown. 



Introduced by Ohio Agriculture Experimental Station. A 

 cross of Jonathan and Delicious. Tree blooms later than 

 either parent. Fruits ripen just before Staymans, keep well 

 in cold storage until April and so far has proven free of 

 Jonathan spot. 



Fruits are well covered with an attractive carmine and 

 have a live yellow undertone. Fruits larger than Jonathan 

 — firm, crisp, juicy, not as tart as Jonathan or as sweet as 

 Delicious. Excellent cooking and dessert quality. 



Tree bears moderately young, is upright, spreading with 

 good crotch angles and develops to reasonably large tree. 



Gives promise of becoming a valuable addition to our late 

 keeping winter apples of high dessert quality.

Without q u e s - 

 tion the most 

 profitable apple ever grown in the fruit producing areas of 

 the Central States. Tree vigorous, hardy, spreading. An 

 early bearer and very productive. Fruit medium to large 

 size, round approaching conic : skin smooth, slightly striped, 

 coloring to a dull red: flesh firm, tender, juicy, rich, sub- 

 acid, aromatic, quality the very best. A splendid late keep- 

 ing variety. 



^ Improved Double Red Stayman 

 (201 Type) <i6b) 



One of the newer introductions which has found favor with 

 some growers. Tree and fruit characteristics similar to Blax- 

 tayman except it has a more brilliant color which lays on 

 earlier and does not get the dark shade often found in some 

 Stayman types. Our observations show this type to com- 

 pare very much with our Early Red Stayman. 



RUBY (1"*^) For full description see page 16. 



•WINTER BANANA <l')Sfr°er^ frurmeduim 



to large, smooth and handsome golden yellow, usually shaded 

 with red blush ; flesh fine grained, rich sub-acid, aromatic : 

 highest quality. 



4 BALDWIN <i'a) 



Hold Your Baldwin Market With Collier Strain— The 

 Best Type We Have Found For Size and Color. 



Buds were selected from of the finest producing Baldwin 

 trees ever observed, and comes from the Charles Collier Fruit 

 Farm at Claverick. X. Y. Xo variety yields larger crops, 

 liears shipment better or is more attractive in color, size and 

 shape than the Collier Baldwin. It is esteemed as an eating 

 apple and for cooking. 



It produces apples year after year of exceptional size and 

 the color is superb. Baldwin is again finding a place in 

 the apple world and you need this fine strain. 



^ GALBRAITH BALDWIN <i7b) 



A Promising Red Sport of the Famous Baldwin. 



Tree Ijehavior about the same as regular Baldwin. Fruit 

 a definite improvement in that it colors two weeks earlier 

 to a solid red color at harvest. 



The red is of medium shade, not quite as bright as Gallia 

 Beauty nor as dark as Richared or Starking. 



It has plenty of snap and brilliance that make up a beau- 

 tiful pack. 



While the popularity of Baldwin has declined slightly in 

 recent years, we believe the Galbraith to be superior to 

 many strains now being grown and certainly worthy of con- 

 sideration bv those wishing to continue growing the variety. 



TURLEY <»<^> 



This beautiful apple has many points 

 to recommend it as a profitable com- 

 mercial variety. The trees resemble Stayman and are vig- 

 orous, rapid growers, productive aiid early bearing. 



The apples average large to very large, skin smooth and 

 colors a bright attractive red over the entire apple. Flesh 

 firm, quality^is good but cannot be classed as a high dessert 

 apple. The value of this apple lies in the fact that it will 

 not crack under normal conditions.
