BLAXTAYMAN <"> 



(Trade Mark Registered U. S. Patent Office) 



The Blaxtayman Surpasses Most Other Improved Strains 



of The Stayman. 



Its Fruiting Record Has Established The Blaxtayman 



Generally As One of Our Good Commercial Apples. 



The BLAXTAYMAN was introduced to the Eastern Fruit 

 growers, spring of 1930. In the BLAXTAYMAN we have 

 every characteristic of the famous Stavman apple with the 

 exception that THE FRUIT COLORS A BEAUTIFUL SOLID 

 RED. The fruit is equally as large or larger than the regu- 

 lar Stayman. The trees are equally as thrifty as the regu- 

 lar Stayman. The apple has a SLIGHTLY TOUGHER SKIX 

 WHICH TENDS TO MAKE IT KEEP BETTER IN STOR- 

 AGE AND CARRY BETTER TO THE MARKETS. THE 

 APPLE HAS THE SAME SHAPE AS THE OLD STAYMAN. 

 THE FLESH FINER IN TEXTURE AND MORE MILD IN 

 FLAVOR WHEN GROWN AT LOWER ELEVATIONS 

 THAN THE OLD STAYMAN. Because of the Earlier Color- 

 ing and solid Red Color the grower can pick the fruit earlier 

 if desired. The BLAXTAYMAN will not get a dark and un- 

 attractive color if allowed to remain on the tree but instead 

 the apples become more brilliant and beautiful. 



profitable apple ever grown in the fruit producing areas of 

 the Central States. Tree vigorous, hardy, spreading. An 

 early bearer and very productive. Fruit medium to large 

 size, round approaching conic: skin smooth, slightly striped, 

 flesh firm, tender, juicy, rich, sub-acid, aromatic, quality the 

 very best. A splendid late keeping variety. 



Improved Double Red Stayman 

 (201 Type) < 16b > 



One of the newer introductions which has found favor with 

 some growers. Trees and fruit characteristics similar to Blax- 

 tayman except it has a more brilliant color which lays on 

 earlier and does not get the dark shade often found in some 

 Stayman types. Our observations show this type to com- 

 pare very much with our Early Red Stayman.

GALLIA BEAUTY (Red Rome) < 18 > 



It leads other Red Koine 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
