LODI <3) (Big Transparent) 



A cross between Transparent and Montgomery released 



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



EODI IS PROVIXG TO BE ONE OF OUR 



BEST EAKEY APPEES 



Large Size, Firmness and Early Bearing 



Habits Recommend It 



The Lodi after being tested over quite a large terri- 

 tory 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 early and 

 more regular than Transparent. The fruit is a better 

 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. 



II W^T^H (3a') One of Prof. Hansen's hybrids and 

 **^^^*^*^** note-worthy for its beautiful red 



striped fruit and early bearing, often producing apples 

 the second year after planting. This apple comes to 

 us highly recommended. Fruit medium quality: 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) Amo^gthe 



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. 



Medium to large, 

 pale yellow, beau- 

 tiful : fine flavor. Tree moderate, erect grower, good 

 bearer. 



EARLY McINTOSH <4a) 



EEADS THE PARADE OF THE McINTOSH TYPES 



HAS SIZE— BEAUTY— QUALITY 



WEEE ADAPTED TO COMMERCIAE MARKETS 



Mcintosh Hybrid being almost red in color, very 

 erisp and juicy, with the same high quality as the 

 well-known Mcintosh. A thrifty grower and a regular 

 bearer. Your opportunity to have the INIcIntosh type 

 as a very early apple. Cash in on the popularity of the 

 Mcintosh by growing Early Mcintosh for your markets. 



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

 *^ ■'■ **-^*'^»' in 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. 



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 

 summer apples. Tree very hardy, fruit large; well 

 colored, excellent for cooking or eating. It excels all 

 others during its season. Requires cross pollenization 

 for best results. 



RED GRAVENSTINE (^^^^ 'Sfls°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. 



EARLY HARVEST (4) 



Early Apples 



REPORTS INDICATE FURTHER REDUCTION 

 IN EARLY APPLE TREE POPULATION FROM 

 THE FEW REMAINING SECTIONS WHERE 

 THEY ARE GROWN. 



This space, for the past 3 years, has been devoted 

 to early apples, in order that the fruit grower may 

 be informed as to conditions. 



At this time there are fewer than 1,000,000 trees 

 ]ess than G years old in the country. At the same 

 time older producing trees continue to go out of 

 production, through disease, old age or removal. 



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. 



While early apples hardly ever bring extremely 

 high prices, they are cheap to grow and those far- 

 sighted men who have continued to grow early 

 apples are making it pay handsome dividends. 



New early varieties have been brought to the 

 attention of the apple grower during the past few 

 years which are a definite improvement over the 

 old varieties, not only in size and firmness, but they 

 are better keeping and have better shipping abilitv 

 TO recommend them. These new varieties should 

 have the attention of all fruit growers who may be 

 overlooking the possibilities in early apple growing. 



We Avill be very glad to advise anyone who will 

 write to us regarding the matter and try to give un- 

 biased 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 



"M"TT TON" (6) 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 WARRIOR <«*) 



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 brilliant 

 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. 



\A7F2iTTHV (7) This beautiful, moderate sized, 

 VV ilirilj 1 J:1. 1 brilliant red apple is of fine 



quality, one of the best of its season. It is a relatively 

 good keei)er, and owing to the hardiness of the tree, its 

 adaptability to cold climates and early bearing habits, 

 it can be profitable as a filler. 



SUMMER RAMBO <«) ltJ^tn/%oTfefy 



tender, juicy and fine flavored. Tree very vigorous 

 semi-spreading grower, hardy and productive.
