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, 

 e.xcept 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 

 bearers. 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 

 Mcintosh. 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; 10c per tree higher than regular varieties 

 on M.M. Ill root available 1974-75 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 MclNTOSH — IMPERIAL MclNTOSH 



(1021) Our own special selected strain of the famous 

 Mcintosh 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 

 stripe. Quality superior to Mcintosh, same textured 

 fruits, hangs to the tree better than Mcintosh, and ripens 

 one to two weeks after Cortland. Tree about equal to 

 Mcintosh, a regular bearer, and strongly recommended to 

 lengthen the Mcintosh season. 



CORTLAND (IO23) 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 (IO24) a special bud-se- 

 lected 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 fancj' prices. Use this fine proven red 

 strain of Jonathan for replanting and new planting work. 

 We are sure it will satisfy 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 beau- 

 tiful 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, spreading, 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 

 recommended and widely planted to pollinate self-sterile 

 varieties. 



SPARTAN (1027) A very attractive Mcintosh type 

 ripening 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 

 attractive, very high dessert quality, long keeping in 

 storage. It is solid red with heavy bloom. Fruits are 

 uniformly medium 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 \'alley, Ga. 

 Tests in Georgia show Magnolia Gold to be 95% russet- 

 free while adjacent trees of Yellow Delicious were 90% or 

 more russetted 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 

 complete acceptability by canners. 



Trees are vigorous, produce heavy crops annually, and 

 resemble the parent. Blossoms plentiful, but should be 

 pollinated 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 

 generally 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-type Yellow Delicious apple. Fruits are borne 

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

 similar 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 pro- 

 ductive, and easy to manage. Pollen is good and they may 

 be interplanted with Skyspur Red Delicious for pollinat- 

 ing purposes.
