RED SPY 



TEN REASONS WHY RED SPY IS A NORTHERN LEADER 



1 . Extremely hardy, extra strong, vigorous growing tree. 



2. Extra large size fruit, slightly larger than Northern Spy. 



3. A typical Northern Spy except in color. Red Spy color is solid 



bright red without either stripes or splashes. 



4. Every apple being a .solid red color is a tremendous advantage. 



5. Colors early. Red Spy harvests somewhat earlier than Northern 



Spy, it enjoys advantage in price. 



6. Quicker sales. A basket of Red Spy sells at premium prices over 



the well known Northern Spy on account every apple being a 

 blazing solid red color. 



7. More U. S. No. 1 grade apples. There are no culls in Red Spy on 



account of color lacking — the U. S. No. 1 grade pack will be 

 of much higher percentage in quantity than Northern Spy, 

 consequently a greater profit. 



8. Red Spy is apparently more prolific than Northern Spy, which for 



more than a century has been recognized a leader in produc- 

 ing big bumper crops. 



9. Red Spy comes into bearing at OiU earlier age than its well known 



parent. Northern Spy. 

 0. Recommended for commercial and home planting by the leading 

 horticultural experts as well as practical fruit growers in the 

 Northern States and Canada.

WINESAP. An Apple Favorite in Virginia. Sometimes called Old 

 Winesap and Virginia Winesap. Medium size, oblong, smooth, and 

 a fine dark red — one of the best red colored apples grown; flesh 

 yellow, crisp, tender, very juicy, aromatic, firm and excellent flavor. 

 Very long keeper and considered the best cold storage variety, 

 keeping until July. A strong grower; comes into bearing early and 

 is remarkable for its regular and abundant crops. 



Other Good Winter Apples 



GANO (Black Ben). A handsome, large apple of perfect 

 shape, smooth, glossy, deep red skin; flesh white, slightly 

 tinged with yellow, firm, rather coarse, crisp, mild, sub- 

 acid flavor. Gano is one of the most popular export apples 

 for the South American trade. Excellent keeper, standing 

 long shipments, usually packed in taarrels. A sure money- 

 maker for the" export trade. 



LOWRY. Beautiful mahogany-red, good, medium size, round 

 oval shape, nearly sweet, mild sub-acid; excellent flavor, 

 good shipper, long keeper, and sells at fancy prices in ex- 

 port as well as domestic markets. New popular commer- 

 cial variety in Virginia. 



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 com- 

 mercial 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, al- 

 though it ripens 2 to 3 weeks later than Cortland. 



MEDINA. Delicious type, slightly larger, recornmended for 

 trio! where Delicious grows too small. (1-year trees only.) 



MOTHER. Medium sized red late fall, early winter export 

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

 by late spring frosts. (1-year trees only.) 



NERO. An Apple which has received far too little attention 

 from planters of Eastern orchards. Deep red, with hand- 

 some shading; medium large size, of good quality and ex- 

 cellent 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. 

 ( 1 -year trees only.) 



NORTHERN SPY. Large, bright scarlet-red, with yellow 

 markings. Flesh juicy, rich, crisp, tender, aromatic and high- 

 ly flavored. Tree a strong, erect grower, very healthy, ex- 

 tremely hardy and a free producer. Blossoms are produced 

 late in the spring, thus escaping frosts. Trees are slow in 

 coming into bearing, but the quality of the fruit largely 

 over-balances this difficulty. Popular old commercial va- 

 riety in northern states. Should not be planted south of 

 Southern Pennsylvania. Northern Spy is one of the best 

 varieties on which to top bud or top graft certain weaker 

 growing varieties. 



OPALESCENT. Very handsome dark crimson Apple, (l-year 



trees only) . 



PARAGON. For description see Mammoth Black Twig. 



ROME BEAUTY. Large, round; mottled and striped in dif- 

 ferent shades of red; flavor and quality way above the 

 average; appearance and size are its valuable points; al- 

 ways in strong demand and brings highest prices. Keeps ; 

 in good condition until May and June. With an established i 

 reputation due to real merit, Rome Beauty is a variety i 

 eastern orchardists should plant. Good, hardy, strbng ' 

 grower; blooms late; bears heavily every year; is adopted 

 to a wide range of soils, elevations and conditions. Relia- 

 bility, due to being frost-proof, strong growing, sure bear- 

 ing, unusual demand, with high prices on the leading mar- 

 kets, especially from the chain stores, make it a favorite 

 with the growers. Fine quality and long keeping for use 

 and for handling make it popular with consumers and 

 dealers. Most attractive when packed in boxes and bushels. 

 This is the improved Cox strain of Ohio.
