WILLIAMS EARLY RED— Ready for Market when folks 

 get hungry for apples 



Early Mcintosh 



Resembles its Mcintosh parent in appearance, but is 

 less aromatic. An attractive uniform red color, good 

 size, flesh white, tender, and juicy. The trees are 

 vigorous, hardy, healthy, productive, and bear an- 

 nually if thinned early and severely. The shape and 

 framework of the tree, especially the heavy-butted 

 branches, are like those of Mcintosh. The crop ripens 

 ten days later than that of Yellow Transparent. The 

 fine flavor is similar to that of famous Mcintosh Red. 

 EARLY RED DUCHESS. A red sport of Duchess. The 

 fruits resemble those of Duchess except that the red 

 is solid and uniformly distributed. 

 MILTON. A very handsome new apple of the Mcintosh 

 type. Fruit a beautiful pinkish red with tender, crisp, 

 white flesh of excellent flavor. Trees hardy and vig- 

 orous. Ripens a month ahead of Mcintosh Red. 

 RED SUMMER RAMBO. Harrisons' new early coloring 

 bud sport. This new strain is much superior to the 

 ordinary Summer Rambo. 

 EARLY RED BIRD (Crimson Beauty). The earliest of 

 all red apples. Tree is hardy, strong, vigorous 

 grower, bears young, productive.
