BE "THE DELICIOUS SUPREME", ITS SUPERB QUALITY, ITS BEAUTIFUL, 



BRIGHT, SOLID RED COLOR TYPIFIES ITS NAME-- 'RICHER RED" 



Orig:iii — Original tree planted by Mr. G. T. Richardson 

 near Monitor, Washington, in 1910. The tree bore these 

 bright solid red apples from the beginning of its pro- 

 duction. The first grafts taken from the original tree 

 bore in the Fall of 1925. In 1926 and 1927 two other gen- 

 erations of this remarkable variety bore fruit which was 

 identical to that of the parent tree. The variety was 

 trade marked in 1927 as the Richared Delicious. The 

 Bountiful Ridge Nurseries introduced it to the Eastern 

 Fruit Grower in 1928. 



DESCRIPTION— The RICHARED DELICIOUS is a 

 blood-red mutation of the Famous Delicious Apple that 

 promises to revolutionize the growing of Delicious ap- 

 ples. No orchardist can overlook these facts about the 

 RICHARED. You have a tree of the same hardy char- 

 acteristics as the old Delicious, producing an apple with 

 that same appetizing delicious flavor, producing an ap- 

 ple that colors a full bright red, with out a trace of 

 stripe, on every part of the tree, the apple attaining this 

 color weeks before we usually pick the regular Deli- 



cious, thus enabling- everyone who grows it to eliminate 

 the loss from drop apples, to pick earlier, to market 

 earlier, if he desires to do so, to seek a foreign market 

 Avith a high quality apple that has superior carrying 

 qualities when picked early and to keep it longer in 

 storage for our late markets if desired. These advan- 

 tages combined with the fact that better than 80% of 

 the apples will grade extra fancy grade, if properly 

 eared for, should make it one of the most profitable 

 apples for the fruit grower. 



This great apple is now fruiting quite generally thru 

 out the U. S. and each year its advantages over other 

 . Delicious sports being- offered by various nurserymen 

 become more pronounced. 



The higher prices received during 1937 for the fruit 

 of the improved strains of the Delicious apple proved 

 that the grower can "CASH IN ON A3IERICA'S MOST 

 POPUI.AR APPLE WITH THE RICHARED DELI- 

 CIOUS" and you should plant this year for the future 

 markets when quality and beauty of fruit will prevail.

BEAUTY WHEN PLANTING THE RED ROME TYPE APPLE. 



We bad rne privilege of seeing tbis wonderful apple fruiting in several of the Eastern states this year and re- 

 gardless of fts location the Gallia Beauty was the pride of the grower. We have never seen a variety adapt itself 

 to varied conditions, bear as young and produce as heavy on young trees as the Gallia Beauty and we are quite 

 proud of the fact that we were one of the first Nurseries to recommend the variety and have grown more trees of 

 them than any other Nursery in the U. S. There are many types of red rome being offered today by various 

 nurseries and most of them are of an inferior strain and wo urge the planters to know definitely the strain of red 

 rome they are planting. 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 satis- 

 factory and again we urge you to plant only the Genuine Gallia Beauty. We offer you the best and charge you 

 no more; Prices of Gallia Beauty trees are the same as other standard varieties listed on page 8 of this catalogue.

 possibly this type would be equally as satisfactory as the Gallia Beauty,
