APPLE Trees 



Proper Variety Selections Will Lead To Greater Profits 



SPURMAC (1073) A new spur type Mcintosh found in 

 the orchards of Charles and Eleanor Saur, Rt. 1, Casnovia, 

 Michigan, right in the heart of Michigan's "Mac" country. 

 SpurMac colors a full blood-red throughout the tree several 

 days before All Red Mcintosh, but matures about a week 

 later than the parent. 



Fruits are typical Mcintosh in shape and appearance, 

 except they have much better color. The flesh is hard and 

 crisp and stores well into spring, like Rome. Fruits hang to 

 the tree far better than Mcintosh. 



Trees of SpurMac are hardy; semi-dwarf at maturity, 

 even when grown on seedling root; early and annual bear- 

 ers. Early coloring allows the majority of the crop to be 

 picked at one time. 



SpurMac fruits have been sold at the Saur Market for 

 several years and have always outsold any strain of Mcin- 

 tosh. Supplies of trees are limited for this year. Place your 

 order early ... or reserve them for next year's planting. 

 Price same as for other Premium Apple varieties on seedling 

 root; 1 Oc per tree higher than regular varieties on M.M. 1 1 1 

 root available 1975-76 season. 



IMPROVED RYAN RED DELICIOUS (1074) Great 

 new early red Delicious from Oregon, which will not bleach 

 under our eastern conditions. Colors early and darker than 

 Starking under the most adverse conditions. Has been well 

 tested in the Southeast and found to be the very best Red 

 Delicious for our early markets. We are the sole eastern 

 distributors for Ryan Red. Let us quote your needs. 



ALL RED Mcintosh— IMPERIAL Mcintosh 



(1 021 ) Our own special selected strain of the famous Mcin- 

 tosh apple. Known in some areas as Imperial Mcintosh, this 

 fine apple brings the grower excellent blush-red color, large 

 size, and consistent crops. This is the finest red strain of 

 Mcintosh we have ever seen. 



MACOUN (1035) Very highly colored, having no strips. 

 Quality superior to Mcintosh, same tex4^«g^3 fruits, hangs to 

 the tree better than Mclnjoghaf^^f^ens one to two weeks 

 after Cortland. Tres^bwiPequal to Mcintosh, a regular 

 bearer, andj^^l-ftHgly recommended to lengthen the Mcin- 

 tosh season. 



CORTLAND (1023) Similar to Mcintosh. Fruits are 

 more oblate, average larger and are more uniform in size; 

 they have more color and the red is lighter and brighter, the 

 striping and splashes are laid on differently. The taste of 

 Cortland can hardly be distinguished from that of Mcintosh; 

 the flesh is firmer but just as juicy. The apples do not drop so 

 readily and ship better. 



ALL RED JONATHAN (1024) A special bud-selected 

 strain of the famous Jonathan apple. We have tested it in 

 every section of the country and have found it superior in 

 almost all cases. Highly colored Jonathan apples bring the 

 fancy prices. Use this fine proven red strain of Jonathan for 

 replanting and new planting work. We are sure it will sat- 

 isfy your needs. 



IDARED (1026) A cross between Wagner and Jonathan. 

 Its season is with or a little later than Jonathan. Fruits are 

 medium to large. Stems medium long, slender; cavity broad, 

 deep; calyx small, basin shallow. Strikingly beautiful bright 

 red color. Skin smooth, medium thick, waxen; dots sparse, 

 inconspicuous; rich yellow under-color. Fruits hold form as 

 well as Rome when baking. Creamy white, smooth-textured 

 flesh. Tree form resembles Jonathan, more upright, spread- 

 ing, seems rather resistant to blight. A regular bearer. 



GRIMES GOLDEN (1025) An apple of the highest 

 quality. Medium to large, bright yellow; flesh fine grained, 

 juicy, with a very pleasing spicy flavor. The tree is hardy, 

 grows upright and is quite disease resistant. Highly recom- 

 mended and widely planted to pollinate self-sterile var- 

 ieties. 



SPARTAN (1027) A very attractive Mcintosh type ri- 

 pening about a week later than Mcintosh. Flesh is firm and 

 dessert quality is good. A Mcintosh type that can be picked 

 later and stored longer. Trees available on semi-dwarf 

 rootstock only. 



EMPIRE (1011) The most outstanding Mcintosh type 

 that has been introduced by the Geneva Station. Quite at- 

 tractive, very high dessert quality, long keeping in storage. 

 It is solid red with hea\'y bloom. Fruits are uniformly me- 

 dium in size. Ripens two weeks after Mcintosh. An annual 

 bearer and has good growth habits. 



MAGNOLIA GOLD 

 MAGNOLIA GOLD — Smooth Yellow Delicious 



(1062) Plant Pat. 3110. A seedling of Yellow Delicious 

 grown by Wm. J. and Clyde Wilson of Fort Valley, Ga. Tests 

 in Georgia show Magnolia Gold to be 95% russet-free while 

 adjacent trees of Yellow Delicious were 90% or more russet- 

 ted and unmarketable. 



Fruits have good size, typical shape, good texture and 

 flavor. Color much better than Yellow Delicious. Good gold 

 color is noticeable while fruit is still on tree. Keeping and 

 shipping quality is excellent. Processing tests indicate com- 

 plete acceptability by canners. 



Trees are vigorous, produce heavy crops annually, and 

 resemble the parent. Blossoms plentiful, but should be pol- 

 linated for best results. However, bloom season is long and 

 pollen is very good for use with other varieties. 



MUTSU (1039) A Yellow Delicious type apple from 

 Japan that is highly resistant to russetting. Fruits are gen- 

 erally larger than Yellow Delicious and with coarser flesh. 

 A possible replacement for Yellow Delicious because of its 

 resistance to spray injury, late keeping qualities, vigorous 

 growth of tree, and larger fruit. Pollen sterile — will not 

 pollinate. 



NUGGET— Spur Type Yellow Delicious (1033) A 



new spur-typ)e Yellow Delicious apple. Fruits are borne in 

 profusion all over the trees at a young age. Fruits are simi- 

 lar in every way to Yellow Delicious. We have found no 

 evidence that Nugget is any more or less susceptible to 

 russetting than regular Yellow Delicious. 



Trees of Nugget are normally semi-dwarf — about one- 

 half the size of regular trees. They are hardy, very product- 

 ive, and easy to manage. Pollen is good and they may be 

 interplanted with Skyspur Red Delicious for pollinating 

 purposes.
