MONROE d7b) 



A resulting: cross between Jonathan 

 and Rome Beauty was introduced 

 by New York Experimental station in 1949. Tree resembles 

 that of the 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, mildy 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. Can supply in 1 yr. trees only, during spring 1958. 



These are some of the beautiful 2 yr. old apple that we 

 have for our customers this year. They have made extra 

 strong growth and are sure to mean success to the planter. 

 We have a nice supply of these extra fine trees in many va- 

 rieties. PLANT BOUNTIFUL KIDGE APPLE TREES this

v GALLIA BEAUTY (Red Rome) < 18 > 



It leads 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 

 Beauty 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 you 

 no more.

 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.
