Wrixparent was found as chance seedling in a Yellow 

 Transparent orchard of Mr. Wrixhain Mellvain of near Mag- 

 nolia, Del. and determined to be superior in every way to 

 Yellow Transparent. Subsequent generation trees have pro- 

 duced early and heavy crops. The tree is more spreading 

 than Transparent and hardy in wood, not being subject to 

 blight and other fungus diseases. The fruit averages large 

 in size, being slightly natter than Transparent and packing 

 out commercial size 2%" to 2%" at picking time. The Wrix- 

 parent ripens 10 to 15 days earlier than Transparent and 

 ripens its fruit evenly so that entire crop may be harvested 

 in two pickings if desired. It is an attractive light green 

 color without markings; its flesh is white, crisp, sprightly. 

 very fine texture, and does not bruise easily. Sub-acid in 

 flavor and unsurpassed as a cooking apple.

LODI (Big Transparent) < 3 > 



LODI IS ONE OF OIR BEST EARLY APPLES 



Large Size, Firmness and Early Bearing 

 Habits Recommend it 



The Lodi after being tested over quite a large territory 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 as it needs cross polli-

It's beautiful all-over bright red color, lar( 

 quality should make it a leader. 



The tree is normally vigorous, grows naturally well formed 

 similar to Mcintosh and bears regularly. The fruit is large, 

 normally averaging better than three inches. The skin is 

 smooth and colored a brilliant red from stem to calyx, 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 

 Stayman, being a little longer from calyx to stem. 



This beautiful, moderate sized, bril- 

 liant red apple is of fine quality; one 

 of the best of its season. It is a relatively good keeper, 

 and owing to the hardiness of the tree, its adaptability to 

 cold climates and early bearing habits, it can be profitable 

 as a filler.
