McIntosh 
Winter. Color bright deep red. 
Flesh white, with slight pinkish tinge. Medium to large 
McIntosh has certain qualities which have served to make it more 
popular each year. It has the fine flavor that everyone desires, a 
splendid appearance which sells it on sight, and, in addition, it 
CAN BE STORED ALMOST A YEAR 
which means that, with proper care—and it needs no special attention 
or conditions of storage—you can have apples for sale or for use about 
the home almost the year round. McIntosh is slightly acid, mellow, 
and fit for use from the time of picking until late the following year. 

AN EARLY BEARER 
You won't be forced to wait many years for results, as McIntosh 
usually bears very early. The early-bearing varieties are extremely 
desirable for fillers, and McIntosh is no exception. You can get, 
possibly, ten ur twelve crops from the trees before they have to be 
removed. It is the only way to keep your ground working all the 
time, and it means a profit in your pocket which otherwise wouldn't 
be there. 
Many apples which are fine when picked reach the market in such 
poor condition that it is almost impossible to get a good price for them. 
Some of this trouble is due to the packing, but sometimes it is due to 
the shape of the apple. McIntosh packs well, and sells well when 
packed in boxes, because of its attractive size and color. 
This splendid apple may be grown from New Brunswick to Mary- 
land. Growers in New York and Michigan have long grown it for 
big profits, and in all high and cold territory it has been accepted as 
one of the greatest profit-makers. Ask any experienced apple-grower, 
if you are unacquainted with the variety, and he will praise it as 
highly as we do.
