 Rome t-yi

New Jersey. A cross 

 of Gallia Beauty and White Winter Pearmin. Fruits are 

 large round-oblate, colors a deep attractive red. Very firm 

 and late keeping as is Rome. Holds to tree exceptionally 

 well. The tree is very vigorous, with large heavy foliage 

 resistant to blight and breakdown. Fruit seems a little bet- 

 ter quality than most Rome types. 1 yr. old trees available. 



RED ROME (No. 262 Type) <im> 



This type Red Rome comes to us from the far West and 

 has been planted widely in the Appalachain fruit area. Its 

 merits over Gallia Beauty are questionable, but some grow- 

 ers like it better and we have the trees in fine 1 yr. stock. 



Introduced fall 1951 by the Illi- 

 nois Agriculture Experiment Sta- 

 lg from a cross between Rome Beauty and Jona- 

 is moderately vigorous low-spreading of the 

 heavy annual bearer. Lateral branches form wide

apple scab. 



stem short and fairly thin. The skin tough, moderately 

 thick, developing heavy wax when in storage. The flesh is 

 yellowish-white, firm but fine-grained, crisp and juicy. The 

 flavor is mild sub-acid, aromatic, very good to excellent qual- 

 ity as dessert and cooked. Does not spot as Jonathan. Should 

 do well in areas where Rome, Jonathan and Winesap are 

 commercial varieties. Hangs well to tree keeping until March 

 in storage.

most any soil; thrifty grower and fruits young: bears reg- 

 ularly; is of the Winesap type, good quality: coloring a deep 

 dull red almost all over; flesh slightly yellow. Needs cross 

 pollenization.
