OTHER DESIRABLE VARIETIES 
In this section we give a list of apples which are of value in certain 
restricted districts. These are no less valuable in such territory than 
our twelve leaders, and in the sections where they thrive they will be 
found to be entirely satisfactory and profitable. 
Fali Apples 
GRAVENSTEIN. Orange-yellow, overlaid with broken stripes of 
light and dark red. Flesh yellowish, Tree vigorous and erect in 
growth, and produces the fruit very freely. Considered one of the 
finest fall apples. September to October. 
Maiden Blush. Pale yellow with red cheek. Flesh white but not 
particularly high-flavored. Tree an erect grower; free bearer. 
September to October. 
Winter Banana. Yellow with reddish blush. Fruit large or extra 
large. Firm and desirable for shipping. Trees are very free growers. 
October to November. 
Winter Apples 
BALDWIN. Bright red. Fruit large, round, with white flesh. 
Trees are rapid growers and attain a large size, yielding large 
crops, but do not bear until six or eight years old. We recom- 
mend Baldwin highly for northern Pennsylvania, New York, all 
of New England, and similar country. 
Ben Davis. Red all over. Size medium to large. Flesh white. 
Tree is strong-growing and very productive. Fruit will keep until 
late in the season. 
GANO. Skin bright red. Flesh white. Recommended especially for 
commercial orchards on account of its fine appearance, keeping 
quality and productiveness. Size medium to large. 
Northern Spy. Bright scarlet, with yellow markings. Flesh juicy 
and highly flavored. Tree a strong, erect grower and free producer. 
The blooms are produced late in the spring. thus escaping the frosts. 
The trees are slow in coming to bearing, but the quality of the fruit 
largely overbalances this difficulty. Fruit keeps until late spring. 
PARAGON (Mammoth Black Twig). Skin quite smooth; yellow, 
covered with deep red. Flesh highly tinged with yellow, subacid. 
Trees are vigorous, healthy, and yield quite freely. In the East 
it is one of the best commercial varieties. It seems to prefer low 
elevations, that is, an altitude of 4co to 1,000 feet. 
Rhode Island Greening. Greenish yellow; somewhat flattened. 
Flesh clear white, crisp, juicy, and slightly acid. It is one of the 
three varieties that have been extremely popular and profitable in 
New England and New York for more than a generation. It isa 
good variety for market, standing shipping well, and showing up 
in market to good advantage. Keeps well until March or April. 
ROME BEAUTY. Yellow, mottled and striped in varying shades of 
red. The flavor and the quality of the fruit is way above the average, 
and its appearance and size are extremely valuable points. In 
almost any market Rome Beauty sells well and brings good profits. 
Trees are strong growers and yield freely nearly every year. The 
blossoms are produced late thus escaping late frosts. Rome Beauty 
is adapted to a wide range of soil, elevations, and conditions. 
Yellow Newtown (Newtown Pippin). Yellow skin, with pure white 
flesh. Because of its long-keeping and excellent qualities it has 
attained high success in almost all markets. The range of territory 
is somewhat limited, and the tree seems to do best along the eastern 
coast from New York to Virginia. November to June.
