.SKYLINE SUPREME is a tree sport of the Starting va- 

 riety originating in the orchards of Wm. E. Dalton, high in 

 the hills of the Blue Ridge, near Hendersonville, N. C. It is 

 particularly outstanding because of its early coloring and 

 early ripening habits. 



Fruits of SKYLINE SUPREME reach full color and ma- 

 turity several weeks ahead of such varieties as Richared and 

 Starking, and many days earlier than most of the other re- 

 cently introduced early coloring types. They color equally 

 well under shaded conditions or in normal light. In the 

 Hendersonville area, where all the testing has been done, 

 fruits of SKYLINE SUPREME have normally had sufficient 

 color by the first of August to pack 100% Extra Fancy. Ac- 

 tual maturity is about 10 days later but still much earlier 

 than its closest competitors. 



The color of SKYLINE SUPREME is a beautiful blush red 

 without a trace of a stripe. This fine apple is endowed with 

 a double pigmented layer adding brilliance and luster to its 



Under Appalachin conditions. SKYLINE SUPREME tends 

 to exhibit a strong habit toward the sheep-nosed condition 

 which is prevalent among western grown Delicious. The 

 tree is vigorous, bears young, sets large crops of good size, 

 highly colored fruits. The blooms of SKYLINE SUPREME 

 are similar to and come at about the same time as other 

 types of Red Delicious. They also need pollination for best 

 results.

 feel it is much more adapted to 

 types from other areas. From

KING LUSCIOUS, probably the largest good apple to come 

 to the planter in many years. KINO LUSCIOUS was found 

 as a poorly colored seedling by the late Wm. M. Dalton of 

 near Hendersonville. N. C. who later crossed it with Red 

 Delicious and King David, resulting in the fine apple which 

 we are pleased to introduce to our trade.

The tree is semi-dwarf in habit, sets its scaffold branches 

 well, and needs little pruning. Both tree and fruit are re- 

 sistant to apple scab. 



We believe KING LUSCIOUS has a place in every planting; 

 not only because of its large size and attractive appearance, 

 but because it is the most frost resistant apple variety we 

 know of.

 of both of these new and wonderful apples.
