SUMMER VARIETIES 
Listed in order of Ripening 
Varieties in larger type are the leading 
commercial sorts and most widely 
planted. 
e CRIMSON BEAUTY. A very hardy variety, originated in 
Maine, strong grower, very productive, and yields early after 
planting. We believe it to be the earliest ripening apple grown, 
color bright red, flesh sub-acid. 
@ YELLOW TRANSPARENT. wm. most widely 
planted early yellow apple of medum size. It is grown commer- 
cially and for home use, color golden yellow, flavor excellent, trees 
are hardy and young bearer. 
e LODI. A new variety of the early Summer season, good 
grower, dwarf habit, hardy, and early bearing. This grand variety 
is much larger than the Yellow Transparent, proving an excellent 
commercial variety and a filler. The skin is bright yellow, white 
flesh, and slightly acid. Our propagating wood of Lodi comes 
from a special selected strain of trees from a well known Agri- 
cultural College planting. 
r - 
ANOKA. We believe the trees of this variety to be the 
earliest bearing apple on the market. It is very common for this 
new variety to yield beautiful red striped fruit only two years 
after beng planted. It is the ideal apple for home use, being 
of good quality, extremely hardy and dwarf grower. 
© WILLIAMS EARLY RED. »,. ,-<: Pe alate 
commercial apple. The fruit colors to a rich, dark red, and can 
be picked at an earlier stage of ripening for a lighter bright red, 
if preferred. This grand variety is a large apple, juicy and 
slightly tart. It comes into bearing early and produces a good 
crop. This hardy variety can be grown in the New England states 
very successfully. 
© WILSON RED JUNE. An immense large, solid red apple. 
The trees are very hardy and fairly heavy yielding. It is a fine 
home and commercial variety, and we recommend a trial] planting. 
& EARLY McINTOSH. A new early red apple, origi- 
nated by the New York Experiment Station. A good hardy 
variety and grower, also heavy yielding. Characteristics about 
the same as McIntosh. Trees bear annually. Be sure to include 
this grand variety. 
@® DUCHESS OF OLDENBURG (Xtra Red Strain.) This 
new strain has all the good points of the popular old strain. 
Its advantage is in the solid red color that gives it more com- 
mercial value, our strain is propagated from buds selected from a 
True Red Sport Limb growing on a heavy bearing tree in Ohio. 
AUTUMN VARIETIES 
Listing in order Ripening near as Pessible 
® WEALTHY. A beautiful red apple of moderate size and 
fine quality. It is very hardy and bears early after planting. It 
is a very good variety to use as a filler. 
@ KENDALL. Another McIntosh seedling coming from the 
New York Experiment Station. This grand variety seems to stand 
out well from the rest as a higher type of apple and more attrac- 
tive, carrying a deep red coloring over the entire surface. The 
flavor is more sprightly than McIntosh, otherwise it is about 
Lae ae It hangs to the tree somewhat better than the 
cIntosh. 
@ LOBO. We have great faith in this new grand variety of 
the McIntosh family. Lobo is a beautiful specimen tree grow- 
ing in the orchard. Its early growth is upright and bears early 
after planting. The fruit is extra large, well colored, and firm. 
Its flavor is very much like its parent McIntosh and of good 
quality. We would like to see our good friends get on to this 
money-maker at an early date, as it is being planted widely. 
@ XTRA RED GRAVENSTEIN. A bud sport of the Red 
Gravenstein, this old variety has been widely planted in past 
era jee new sport’s only difference is that it carries a darker 
red color. 
® TWENTY OUNCE. A very large red and yellow striped apple 
It keeps until February. It is no doubt the largest apple grown.
