From observations we can recommend this new api>le as 

 a companion to and wherever Delicious. Jonathan and Stay- 

 man are being grown.

 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.

 good crotch angles and develops to reasonably large tree.

 In the BLAXTAYJIAX we have every characteristic of the 

 famous Stavman apple with the exception that THE FRl'IT 

 COLORS A BEAUTIFUL SOLID RED. The fruit is equally 

 as large or larger than the regular Stavman. The trees are 

 equallv as thrifty as the regular Stavman. The apple has a

 Because of the Earlier Coloring and solid Red Color the 

 grower can pick the fruit earlier if desired. The BLAXTAY- 

 MAX will not get a dark and unattractive color if allowed 

 to remain on the tree but instead the apples become more 

 brilliant and beautiful. 



RUBY d<fc) 



A PROMISING LATE KEEPING APPLE 



A recent introduction of the Ohio Experimental Station 

 resulting from a cross between Gallia Beauty and Starking. 

 Ruby, as its name implies, has great eye appeal because of 

 its striking brilliant over-all carmine red resembling some- 

 what a well colored Gallia Beauty. The tree resembles Rome 

 in growth, bears early and tends to produce annually, blooms 

 about with Rome or Gallia and just after Delicious. Pick- 

 ing date is about with Rome or may be picked just before 

 Stayman. As a dessert apple the flavor is good, surpassing 

 that of Rome Beauty. It is somewhat juicy, neither sharp 

 nor sweet but pleasingly mild : cooking does not detract from 

 the flavor but seems to improve it: whether baked or stewed 

 the flesh has tendency to hold its shape well. Fruits hold 

 well in storage into April and May. being less susceptible to 

 scald than Rome Beauty. Can be recommended for planting 

 anywhere Rome and Delicious succeed.

'ViT/^'NJ'DOP (171)) A resulting cross between Jonathan 

 Wlw«*l.V«i an d Rome Beauty was introduced 



by Xew York Experimental station in 1949. Tree resembles 

 that of 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, mildly 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. 



GALLIA BEAUTY (Red Rome) <*»> 



It lead-, 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 Red 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 

 Beaut v 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 you the best and charge yon 

 auniore.

Applegate Red Rome comes from the orchards of 

 I. ■slie X. Applegate. Freehold. X. J., where 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.
