APPLE Trees J 



RICHARED DELICIOUS (1036) Superb quality, beau- 

 tiful bright red color without stripe, and excellent shape. 

 Trees are hardy, vigorous, and produce large annual crops. 

 Fruits of Richared are large, very handsome, and good. They 

 ripen all over the tree weeks earlier than regular Delicious. 

 Richared is your best bet for elevations over 100 feet. An 

 excellent storage apple, too. 



DOUBLE RED DELICIOUS (1037) A sport of Deli 

 clous that ripens with a stripe. It is your best bet for an early 

 coloring Delicious at low elevations. When planted in areas 

 over 100 feet, it tends to get too dark and is not as handsome 

 as Richared. It bears young and produces large crops of fine, 

 beautiful Delicious apples. Very similar to Starking. 



WAYNE-SPUR RED DELICIOUS (1038) A spur-type 

 Red Delicious from Virginia. Fruit is produced on spurs 

 along scaffold limbs throughout the tree. Fruits are typical 

 of Red Delicious in shape, are predominantly blushed red 

 and of good size. Wayne-Spur colors earlier than Double Red 

 Delicious, but ripens about the same time. Trees are true 

 semi-dwarf and bear ample crops early in life. Storage life 

 and firmness is better than Double Red Delicious. 



YELLOW DELICIOUS (1 032) This apple is famous for 

 its unique quality, embracing a combination of flavors 

 which is hard to equal. This, combined with the fine, firm- 

 textured flesh of the apple and the beautiful golden yellow 

 skin, at once attracts the eye of the consuming public. The 

 tree, while not a large growing type, is thrifty and extremely 

 productive, coming into fruiting and giving an abundant 

 crop while very young. An excellent pollinator. 



EARLY RED STAYMAN (Neipling's) (1041) Colors 

 100% all over the apple, from 10 to 20 days before the 

 regular Stayman. Growers can pick the entire crop at one 

 picking, if desired, and avoid losses. Cold storage tests show 

 it will keep through to following May and come out with less 

 scald, more flavor and more snap than any other type 

 Stayman. 



NORTHERN SPY (1042) Large, roundish conical, 

 often flattened, slightly ribbed; handsomely striped with 

 red. Flavor rich, aromatic, mild sub-acid, fine. Keeps 

 through winter and late into spring. Trees available on 

 semi-dwarf rootstocks only. 



COLORA RED YORK (1044) Earlier coloring, earlier 

 picking, greater profits. The tree of Colora Red York has the 

 same rugged characteristics as the old York Imperial, but 

 will color 100% over the entire tree under most conditions. 

 Pick from one to two weeks earlier than regular York, at one 

 time if desired. 



MELROSE (1046) A new late-keeping winter apple 

 that is a cross of Jonathan and Delicious. Blooms later than 

 either parent. Fruits ripen just before Stayman, keep well in 

 cold storage until April and have proven free of Jonathan 

 spot. Fruits are well covered with an attractive carmine and 

 have a live yellow undertone. Larger fruits than Jonathan, 

 with excellent cooking and dessert quality. Bears moder- 

 ately young, is upright, spreading with good crotch angles 

 and develops to a reasonably large size. 



DOUBLE RED STAYMAN— 201 Type (1047) Oneof 

 the newer introductions which has found favor with some 

 growers. Trees and fruit characteristics similar to Blax- 

 tayman except that it has a more brilliant color which lays 

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

 some Stayman types. 



PENN STAYMAN (1080) A bud mutation of Stayman 

 found in Pennsylvania in 1955. Fruit resembles Stayman 

 but skin is smooth, brighter colored, does not crack, and does 

 not develop scarfskin. Tree growth habit is the same as 

 Stayman. 



RUBY (1048) Ruby is brilliant over-all carmine-red. 

 The tree resembles Rome in growth, be^«"f arly and pro- 

 duces annually. Blooms about wJ4b©airia and just after 

 Delicious. Picking date i^^ISSt'^ith Rome. The flavor is 

 good — somewhatJmc^^Mfeasingly mild. Cooking seems to 

 improve the ftavOT. Fruits hold well in storage into April 

 and May; less susceptible to scald than Rome Beauty. 



KING LUSCIOUS (1049) U.S. Plant Patent No. 1994. 

 A very large, highly colored apple with good keeping, eat- 

 ing, and cooking qualities. The skin is a deep red with a 

 beautiful bloom. The flesh is pure white, with excellent 

 flavor. Season of ripening is with Rome Beauty and 

 Stayman, although it may be picked sooner for cooking 

 purposes. The tree is a young and annual bearer, blooming a 

 week after Rome Beauty to make it almost completely 

 frost-proof 



The tree is semi-dwarf in habit, sets its scaffold branches 

 well, and needs little pruning. Both tree and fruit are resis- 

 tant to apple scab. 



WINTER BANANA (1050) Vigorous grower; early 

 bearer. Fruit medium to large, smooth and handsome gol- 

 den yellow, usually shaded with red blush. Flesh fine 

 grained, rich sub-acid, aromatic; highest quality. 



GALLIA BEAUTY— Red Rome (1051) A typical 

 Rome type tree, thrifty, hardy, and productive. Fruits color 

 a brilliant bright red without stripe, of higher quality than 

 regular Rome Beauty, keep well in storage. The Gallia 

 Beauty will size equal to the regular Rome. 



CHESAPEAKE (1053) A late-keeping apple with out- 

 standing quality, developed by Frank Browning of Wal- 

 lingford, Ky. Chesapeake is a chance seedling of Stayman 

 and Rome. It is a large, red apple that ripens with Rome. 

 Keeps well into the winter, even in common storage. Its good 

 flavor resembles that of Stayman and is mildly sub-acid. 

 Fruits retain their juices well throughout storage and are 

 excellent for fresh or culinary purposes. 



Trees of Chesapeake are vigorous, productive and bear at 

 an early age. Blooms appear with those of Rome and are 

 hardy. Spring frosts are not a problem. Trees are available 

 on Standard and E.M. VII rootstocks. 



BOUNTIFUL IMPROVED WINES AP (1055) A selec- 

 tion of Winesap with beautiful color, high quality, good 

 keeping ability. The fruit has every characteristic of the Old 

 Virginia Winesap in shape, color, quality, and growth 

 habits. The tree is typical Winesap.
