Early Coloring Means 100% Perfect Extra Fancy Grade

 coloring that completely covers the fruit. A vigorous 

 grower and an abundant producer. 



MAMMOTH BLACK TWIG (Paragon). Extra large in size 

 and round; skin smooth, yellowish covered with deep 

 red, the general effect being dark red; flesh tender, 

 tinged with yellow, crisp sub-acid, aromatic, fine flavor, 

 of excellent quality, long keeper of great value. An 

 important commercial variety in the East. Tree is 

 vigorous and healthy, yields big crops. Plant Delicious 

 or Jonathan as a pollenizer. 



MACOUN. Similar quality and texture to Mcintosh Red, 

 although it ripens 2 to 3 weeks later than Cortland. 



MEDINA. Delicious type, slightly larger, recommended for 

 trial where Delicious grows too small. 



MOTHER. Medium sized red late fall, early winter export 

 variety. One of the latest apples to bloom. Seldom killed

 tion from planters of Eastern orchards. Deep red, with 

 handsome shading; medium large size, of good quality 

 and excellent flavor; one of the longest keepers, one 

 of the best cold storage Apples. Apples are graded and 

 packed easily, do not show bruises and hold up well in 

 storage. Nero is an extra heavy bearer, dependable, 

 being a big cropper every year. 



NEWFANE. Delicious type, large size, attractive red color. 



OPALESCENT. Very handsome dark crimson apple. 



PARAGON. For description, see Mammoth Black Twig. 



YORK IMPERIAL. Medium to large size, round, irregular,

 be kept in cold storage until June. Tree is a vigorous 

 grower, strong and healthy; an unusually heavy bearer.

RED YORKING— 



An Exalted York Imperial 



The Red Yorking is a "bud 

 sport", being a mutation of the 

 famous York Imperial. This "bud 

 sport" originated on a tree, grown 

 with other York Imperial trees, in 

 Harrisons' Nurseries and later sold 

 to Mr. W. H. Allison, near Ship- 

 pensburg, Penna., for use in plant- 

 ing a large orchard about twenty- 

 nine years ago. 



RED YORKING 



WITH TEN TESTED REASONS: 



1. York Imperial has long been the commercial leader and 

 money-maker in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and 

 Southern Pennsylvania, but with the discovery of a "bud 

 sport" strain from a Harrison-grown York Imperial planted 

 near Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, the new ''Red Yorking", 

 U. S. Plant Patent No. 125, will eventually replace its 

 famous parent. 



2. Leading fruit growers were astounded and now proclaim that 

 Red Yorking is the ideal commercial apple for the Appal- 

 achian region. 



3. Red Yorking, by actual comparisons, has proven to be far 

 superior to any other so-called red strain of York Imperial. 



4. Color: Every Red Yorking apple being SOLID RED is o 

 tremendous advantage. 



5. Colors very early — being able to pick and ship Red Yorking 

 from three to five weeks earlier than York, due to its 100% 

 solid red color before the apple is fully ripe. 



6. Will bear bumper crops each year under modern up-to-date 

 orchard management, and Red Yorking is a more prolific 

 bearer than its parent. 



7. Red Yorking can be easily packed U. S. Fancy grade from 

 three to four weeks sooner in the fall than you can possibly 

 pack York Imperial to meet the requirements of U. S. No. 1 

 grade. 



8. All apples of Red Yorking will run U. S. Fancy grade and 

 U. S. No. 1 grade as to color requirements, whereas you 

 always have a varied percentage of York Imperial that will 

 fail to meet even U. S. No. 1 color specifications. 



9. For the export trade. Red Yorking can be sold and shipped 

 at premium high prices long before Yorks are ready to pick. 



10. For cold storage purposes. Red Yorking does not "scald," 

 even when held until June; whereas, York Imperial must be 

 sold during the winter to avoid "scald" and other cold stor- 

 age troubles.
