Grimes 
Ripens fairly late. Skin golden yellow. Flesh yellow. 
Flavor rich and spicy; slightly acid 
Usually known as ‘“‘Grimes Golden,” this apple holds a reputation 
away ahead of most fall apples because of its appearance and flavor. 
It is not unusual for Grimes to bring from 50 to 75 cents more per 
bushel than other apples. 
THE FLAVOR IS EXCELLENT 
and many people feel about this apple as others do about Golden 
Bantam corn: “It’s worth the difference at any price.’’ The result is 
that it brings higher prices, which means more money in your pocket. 
In the vicinity of Philadelphia, Grimes will be ready for use some 
time in September, but ‘unless prices are exceptional it should be left 
on the trees until somewhat later, as the flavor will be considerably 
improved. 
USE GRIMES AS A FILLER 
It comes into bearing before most of the permanent trees and will 
help to bear the orchard expenses before the other trees produce any 
fruit. Blossoming rather late in the spring, the late frosts seldom do 
any harm, and the tree is able to set fruit nearly every year. 
If the fruit is carefully packed in boxes, instead of barrels, the sale 
will be greatly increased, as the customer will find the golden color 
and attractive aroma too tempting to pass by. The smaller package 
helps the sale, as it is easy to say “Send home a box,” whereas if they 
are packed in a barrel, there is some indecision on the part of the 
buyer as to just how many apples he needs. 
A HOME AND MARKET VARIETY ' 
Grimes has the great advantage of being as good for the home as 
it is when intended for long shipment. It cannot be surpassed for 
cooking or table use. The keeping qualities are good; the quality of 
the fruit will be found unimpaired in January and February. It makes 
no difference whether you are after a strictly high-class market trade 
or desire just a few trees for your garden, you should plant Grimes.
