AUTUMN VARIETIES— Continued 



GRIMES GOLDEN (Grimes). Medium sized, golden yellow, 

 tender, rich, aromatic, sub-acid, delicious, possibly the best 

 flavored apple known, and a good keeper. No better variety 

 exists for eating raw or for cooking. Tree is very hardy and 

 one of the heaviest bearers known, producing extra large crops 

 annually. Excellent variety for a filler, as it comes into bearing 

 very early. Grimes Golden is the best pollinizer known, 

 especially for Stayman Winesap, Delicious, Paragon or Mam- 

 moth Black Twig, Winesap, Mcintosh and others. Be sure 

 to include Grimes Golden in your orchard. When all factors 

 are considered, Grimes Golden is the best, highest flavored, 

 longest keeper and most profitable yellow apple grown. Numerous 

 experiments and observations on the study of cross-pollinization 

 were conducted by Dr. E. C. Auchter, horticulturist, University 

 of Maryland, now with the U. S. Department of Agriculture, 

 in our several large bearing commercial apple orchards at Berlin. 



JONATHAN. Medium to large; brilliant red, juicy, fine grained, 

 tender, mild, sub-acid, and very highly flavored. Late keeper 

 and an excellent shipper. Tree long lived, but comes into 

 bearing very young and produces big crops every year. Popular 

 bushel and box variety, demanding hignest prices on account 

 of its attractive red appearance and fine flavor. Fine variety 

 for a pollinizer. 



King David. A beautiful deep dark red apple, resembling Jona- 

 than as to size and shape, but not quite as good flavor. Splendid 

 shipper and keeper. Tree hardy, and comes into bearing 

 young. 



King (King of Tompkins County). Extra large, very red, 

 with a tint of yellow, flesh yellow, crisp, juicy, sub-acid, good 

 quality. Tree slow grower and not a big producer. Generally 

 planted in New York. 



McINTOSH RED. An early winter variety in New York, 

 Michigan and New England States. An exceedingly valuable 

 hardy, attractive apple; medium large size; nearly covered 

 with red. Flesh white, fine, tender, juicy, sub-acid and re- 

 freshing, and generally considered as the highest and best 

 flavored apple grown; spendid appearance, which sells it on 

 sight. Demand always exceeds the supply of Mcintosh Red, 

 and commands the highest prices of any apple on the leading 

 American markets. The best box and bushel apple grown, 

 and a good shipper. Mcintosh Red is a Canadian apple, 

 keeps long, but is mellow and good to use from the time it is 

 picked and if kept in cold storage until the next crop comes. 

 Tree is exceedingly hardy, vigorous, a very prolific bearer, 

 consistent bumper crop producer, a sure annual cropper — 

 comes into fruiting early. This splendid apple can be grown 

 from Nova Scotia to North Carolina. Growers in New York, 

 New England, Michigan and Canada have long grown Mc- 

 intosh Red for big profits. Ask any experienced apple grower, 

 if you are not acquainted with the Mcintosh Red, and he will 

 praise it as highly as we do. Visit our own bearing commercial 

 orchards of Mcintosh Red at Berlin. Plant this variety for 

 the big gold profits. 



Maiden's Blush. One of the most beautiful; pale lemon with 

 crimson cheek; flesh white, tender and crisp. Tree vigorous 

 and good bearer. 



Northwestern Greening. Large, round, greenish yellow; juicy, 

 firm, good quality; splendid keeper; ships well. Attractive 

 apple when packed in bushels, demands good prices, excellent 

 baking apple. Should not be planted extensively, because 

 crops are not so certain, due to blossoming early. Trees are 

 extremely hardy, vigorous, bear very young. 



Red Gravenstein. This red spott is more attractive than 

 Gravenstein. It differs from Gravenstein only in the solid 

 dark red fruit. 



Smokehouse. Large apple of super-fine flavor, excellent for 

 eating, yellowish green mottled with dull red and with many 

 russet dots; flesh firm, crisp, juicy and aromatic. Tree large, 

 vigorous and reliably productive. 



WEALTHY. Medium to large size; round; almost solid red; 

 flesh white or a little stained; tender, crisp, juicy, fine grained, 

 aromatic and very good flavor. Relative good keeper. One 

 of the most profitable commercial apples. Tree is very hardy, 

 withstanding unusually cold climates, vigorous, fruits at early 

 age, bears regular and abundant crops. Tree somewhat dwarf, 

 making a fine filler. 



Winter Varieties 



Albemarle Pippin. See Yellow Newtown for description. 



BALDWIN. Large, round, bright red, crisp, juicy and rich; 

 good late keeper, esteemed as an eating apple and for cooking. 

 Quick and large grower; yields big crops. A wonderful shipper, 

 standing long distances very successfully. The best northern 

 apple for packing in barrels, fine cold storage apple, strong 

 demand for carload shipments of Baldwins to European and 

 South American markets. Brings high prices on foreign mar- 

 kets; also popular on the New England and Northern States 

 markets. Grows to perfection in New England, New York, 

 Pennsylvania, Michigan and Canada, but should not be planted 

 South of the Mason-Dixon line. Baldwin is the leading com- 

 mercial variety in the Northern States. 



Ben Davis. Fine looking, large, round; yellow with red stripes; 

 flesh white, juicy, sub-acid, coarse. Good for cooking, but on 

 account of poor flavor not desirable for fresh eating. Finest 

 keeper known. Can be kept in cold storage until July. Ex- 

 cellent shipper, usually packed in barrels. Best known export 

 apple, always in good demand by European, South American 

 and Asiatic buyers; highest prices. Grow Ben Davis on a 

 commercial scale for export trade. Tree is a rapid grower, 

 healthy, vigorous, bears at an early age, heavy cropper and a 

 sure bearer. 



CORTLAND. A promising new variety resulting from cross 

 pollenization of Mcintosh Red and Ben Davis, and inheriting 

 the good qualities of each parent. Beautiful red apple, ap- 

 proximately the same size and fine flavor of the Mcintosh, 

 but ripens about three weeks or a month later. Good keeper. 

 Our buds were cut direct from the bearing Cortland in a 

 prominent orchard at Kinderhook, New York. 



Ensee. Dull red, suggesting its Rome Beauty strain in size 

 and shape; crisp, tender, yellow flesh and good flavor. 



Mcintosh Red.
