Don't surround .vour orchard with a liuestion mark by buying and planting 

 Ked Sta.vnians" — know what jon are planting and demand Blaxta.vman. The 



most beautiful Stayman of all time. Colors a deep, brilliant, solid red all over 

 without stripe, fully 3 to 4 weeks earlier than regular Staymans. The trees are 

 hardy, vigorous, and si>reading, bear early and very productive. The fruit is 

 medium to large, skin smooth, flesh firm, tender and juicy, with a delightful 

 sub-acid aromatic tasic. Pronounced by many tlje fiti.st of all dessert apples. 



Found as a chance seedling in the Yellow Transnarent orchard of Mr. 

 \\ rixham Mcllvain near Magnolia, Delaware about 1920. 



Mr. Mcllvaiu after several years observation determined the variety to be 

 superior in every way to the Transparent and grafted over his Transparent or- 

 chard to this variety. This 2nd generation orchard at 10 years of age is now- 

 producing heavy annual crops. A 3rd generation orchard was planted in 1935 

 and began bearing at 4 years of age. The tree is more spreading than Trans- 

 parent, vigorous and hardy in wood not being subject to blight and other 

 fungus diseases. The fruit averages large in size being a little more flat in 

 shape than Transparent and packing out commercial sizes of 2V>" and 2%" at 

 picking time. The Wrixparent ripens from 10 to 1.5 days before the yellow 

 transparent and ripens its fruits evenly so that the entire crop may be harvested 

 in two pickings if desired. It is an attractive light green color without mark- 

 ings : the flesh is white crisp, sprightly, very fine in texture and does not bruise! 

 readily or turn dark after bruising. Sub-acid in flavor and unsurnassed as a 

 cooking apple. The fruit keeps well and can be hold for 10 to 15 davs after 

 picking without storage. The Wrixparent is an annual bearer and continues to 

 bear large fruits on the older trees. 



Sales records show the entire 1939 crop was harvested and sold at rate of 

 $1..50 per U bu. for 2V2" up and $1.25 per V2 bu. for 2%" U. S. No. 1 apples. 

 Compare these prices with those you received for Yellow Transparent.
