  The 
  advantages 
  of 
  either 
  growing 
  highly 
  colored 
  fruit 
  or 
  growing 
  green 
  colored 
  apples 
  in 
  the 
  past 
  few 
  years 
  

   has 
  been 
  clearly 
  demonstrated 
  to 
  all 
  growers, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  with 
  this 
  in 
  mind 
  we 
  want 
  to 
  call 
  your 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  

   above 
  sports 
  of 
  the 
  Rome 
  Beauty 
  Apple. 
  Possibly 
  where 
  the 
  Rome 
  Beauty 
  thrives 
  no 
  other 
  apple 
  brings 
  as 
  much 
  

   return 
  to 
  the 
  grower 
  as 
  this 
  variety 
  of 
  apple, 
  and 
  with 
  increased 
  color 
  the 
  return 
  would 
  be 
  much 
  greater. 
  There 
  

   have 
  been 
  many 
  variations 
  of 
  the 
  Rome 
  Beauty 
  in 
  color 
  and 
  quality, 
  but 
  few 
  of 
  them 
  have 
  been 
  worth 
  while. 
  The 
  

   Gallia 
  Beauty 
  Red 
  Rome, 
  Ohio 
  Red 
  Rome 
  and 
  Dark 
  Red 
  Rome 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  only 
  ones 
  to 
  stand 
  the 
  test. 
  We 
  

   mean 
  by 
  this 
  they 
  have 
  retained 
  the 
  size 
  and 
  texture 
  of 
  the 
  old 
  Rome, 
  which 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  its 
  valuable 
  assets, 
  at 
  the 
  

   same 
  time, 
  having 
  the 
  same 
  vigorous 
  and 
  productive 
  tree. 
  There 
  is 
  little 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  Gallia 
  Beauty 
  and 
  the 
  

   genuine 
  Ohio 
  Red 
  Rome, 
  possibly 
  the 
  Gallia 
  Beauty 
  being 
  slightly 
  larger 
  in 
  size. 
  Both 
  are 
  about 
  equal 
  in 
  color, 
  be- 
  

   ing 
  a 
  clear 
  bright 
  red, 
  without 
  the 
  usual 
  Rome 
  Beauty 
  stripe. 
  The 
  trees 
  bear 
  unusually 
  young, 
  and 
  every 
  planter 
  

   will 
  find 
  it 
  superior 
  to 
  the 
  regular 
  Rome 
  Beauty. 
  The 
  Dark 
  Red 
  Rome 
  should 
  be 
  planted 
  on 
  very 
  light 
  soil 
  or 
  on 
  

   high, 
  dry 
  elevation, 
  or 
  else 
  it 
  will 
  get 
  too 
  dark 
  for 
  the 
  Eastern 
  grower. 
  It 
  is 
  well 
  adapted 
  to 
  the 
  far 
  western 
  

   grower. 
  We 
  have 
  received 
  the 
  grafts 
  for 
  our 
  trees 
  from 
  the 
  original 
  trees 
  in 
  Ohio, 
  and 
  we 
  know 
  they 
  are 
  true- 
  

   to-name, 
  and 
  we 
  can 
  recommend 
  these 
  improved 
  Rome 
  Beauty 
  varieties 
  to 
  all 
  our 
  patrons 
  where 
  they 
  want 
  mote 
  

   color 
  on 
  the 
  Rome 
  Beauty 
  type 
  of 
  apple.

  a 
  week

  textured 
  fruit,

  as 
  good 
  quality.
