Autumn Varieties 



American Golden Russet. Sometimes called Sheep-Nose. 

 Medium size, round; greenish russet or bronze. 



Fameuse (Snow). Medium size to large; deep red; flesh snowy 

 white, fair flavor, sells for good prices on local markets, but not 

 recommended for shipping. Most popular in Canada. 



Gravenstein. Extra large, perfect in form and handsome in 

 coloring — orange-yellow overlaid with broken stripes of light 

 and dark red; flesh is yellowish, firm, crisp, tender, juicy, fine 

 flavor. Good for cooking, extra vigorous tree, comes into 

 bearing rather early and bears profuse crops regularly. Grown 

 most extensively in California and commands good prices. 



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. 



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 highest prices on account 

 of its attractive red appearance and fine flavor. Fine variety 

 for a pollenizer. 



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. 



Lobo. This variety has come into prominence in a number of 

 fruit districts due to the fact that it is very highly colored and 

 has many Mcintosh characteristics. While not equal to Mc- 

 intosh in quality, the quality is good. The season of Lobo 

 begins a little earlier than Mcintosh, but it keeps about as long. 

 The earlier coloring enables growers to pick Lobo in advance of 

 Mcintosh. It hangs on the tree better than Mcintosh. 



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, 



Mcintosh Red. 



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 sport 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.
