Strong and Vigorous Like 
Its Parent Northern Spy 
This new variety has the same characteristics as 
Northern Spy, except that it is a more pronounced red, 
with the same “eye appeal” of Harrisons’ Red Delicious. 
For large Apple growers in the northern states and folks 
who like home orchards, Harrisons’ recommend this out- 
standing new RED SPY.

and round; skin smooth, yellowish covered with deep red, 
the general effect being dark red; flesh tender, tinged with

though it ripens 2 to 3 weeks later than Cortland. (Small, 
l-year trees only).

from planters of Eastern orchards. Deep red, with hand- 
some shading; medium large size, of good quality and ex-

NORTHERN SPY. Large, bright scarlet-red, with yellow mark- 
ings. Flesh juicy, rich, crisp, tender, aromatic and highly 
flavored. Tree a strong, erect grower, very healthy, ex- 
tremely hardy anda 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. (Available in 1-2 ft., 2-3 ft., and 3-4 
ft. sizes only). 
OPALESCENT. Very handsome dark crimson Apple. (1-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 
reputation due to real merit, Rome Beauty is a variety 
eastern orchardists should plant. Good, hardy, strong 
grower; blooms late; bears heavily every year; is adapted 
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.
