YELLOW TRANSPARENT (lOOl) Our most widely 

 planted early commercial apple. Tree is upright, hardy, 

 early bearer. Good size; skin clear white to pale yellow in 

 color. Flavor very good. An excellent cooking apple 

 known to the housewife everywhere. Ripens early July. 



LODI — Big Transparent (1002) it has the same 



quality and flavor as Yellow Transparent but it is much 

 larger and firmer. Fruits ship well and do not show bruis- 

 ing. Ripening date is a few days later than for Trans- 

 parent, but Lodi can be picked earlier because of good size. 

 Trees are spreading, vigorous, and productive. Needs 

 pollination.

VARIETIES AND PRICES OF CONTROLLED SIZE TREES ARE

HOLDREN'S EARLY RED (i058) Plant Pat. Applied 

 For. An extra fine, fire-red summer apple originated by 

 Robert E. Holdren, Little Hocking, Ohio. The new apple's 

 parents are seedlings of Rome Beauty and Wealthy. The 

 fruits are round, somewhat compressed, fully colored, and 

 resemble Rome Beauty in shape. The bright red color is 

 attractively striped. Shelf life is exceptionally long for 

 such an early apple. Cold storage life is good, too. 



The fruits, which ripen about August 5 in the Marietta, 

 Ohio area, are borne annually on vigorous and hardy trees. 

 Flesh is firm, white, good textured, with excellent quality. 



Trees available for 1974-75 on M.M. 106 rootstock, 

 50c higher than regular varieties. 



PRISCILLA (1063) New highly colored variety ripening 

 about one week before Jonathan, which is resistant to 

 apple scab, fire blight, powdery mildew. High resistance 

 to disease will eliminate need for up to one-half of the 

 normal sprays. A dream for ecologists and homeowners. 

 Flavor is good, with crisp, medium-grained texture. A 

 perfect pollinator for Prima, another highlj' disease- 

 resistant variety. Trees are $1.00 more than regular 

 varieties on standard or controlled size roots. 



QUINTE (1003) A promising new variety from 

 Canada for the summer market. Fruit is medium sized, 

 round to slightly conic, of good flavor, and an excellent 

 shipper. Skin is crimson-red streaked with golden yellow. 

 The tree is hardy and bears good annual crops. Ripens 

 early, just after Lodi, and requires several pickings.
