Northwestern Greening 
Early fall. Skin greenish yellow. Flesh white, with good flavor. 
Size large 
Northwestern Greening is an exceedingly hardy apple and wili 
produce good fruit when other varieties have succumbed to climatic 
hardships. However, it must not be thought that it is planted for 
that reason alone—its color and taste would guarantee it a place in 
home and commercial orchards without dependence upon its vigor. 
When used as a cooking apple it 
COOKS EVENLY AND QUICKLY 
and has a fine yellow color which renders it remarkably attractive. 
It has attained a great reputation for long keeping, as a large part of 
the crop does not reach its best quality before the first of January. 
Much of the crop will still be sound at the end of winter and some of it 
MAY KEEP TILL JUNE 
You can easily see how this apple will fatten your pocketbook. 
The man who offers a fine apple in May and June can demand almost 
any price he wishes to get. If you offer apples for sale when everyone 
else has them, prices are sure to be fairly low unless you grow quality 
apples. With the Northwestern you come into the field before the 
early summer apples have ripened, and, in may cases, people will 
believe the fruit imported. 
Shape is sometimes irregular, but this irregularity is not so obvious 
as to make the fruit unsuitable for sale. The long time it may be kept 
insures a good purchase price, and the fact that it is a good cooking 
apple makes it doubly desirable. 
Trees of this variety will do well from Maine to West Virginia, and 
are particularly well adapted to the colder regions, while, at the same 
time, they are productive of excellent fruits in the warmer states. 
Does not bear very early, but fruits very reliably when it has made 
a start. 
Northwestern Greening answers a demand which exists every 
winter and spring for a good cooking apple. You can come into this 
market and make good money if you are able to keep apples, and this 
one is considered a particularly good keeper.
