Harrisons' Red Delicious. 



Winter Varieties 



Albemarle Pippin. See Yellow Newtown for description. 

 BALDWIN. Large, round, bright red, crisp, juicy and rich; 

 good late keeper, esteemed as an eating apple and for cooking. 

 Quick and large grower; yields big crops. A wonderful shipper, 

 standing long distances very successfully. The best northern 

 apple for packing in barrels, fine cold storage apple, strong 

 demand for carload shipments of Baldwins to European and 

 South American markets. Brings high prices on foreign mar- 

 kets; also popular on the New England and Northern States 

 markets. Grows to perfection in New England, New York, 

 Pennsylvania, Michigan and Canada, but should not be planted 

 south of the Mason-Dixon line. Baldwin is the leading com- 

 mercial variety in the Northern States. 

 Ben Davis. Fine looking, large, round; yellow with red stripes; 

 flesh white, juicy, sub-acid, coarse. Good for cooking, but on 

 account of poor flavor not desirable for fresh eating. Finest 

 keeper known. Can be kept in cold storage until July. Ex- 

 cellent shipper, usually packed in barrels. Best known export 

 apple, always in good demand by European, South American 

 and Asiatic buyers; highest prices. Grow Ben Davis on a 

 commercial scale for export trade. Tree is a rapid grower, 

 healthy, vigorous, bears at an early age, heavy cropper and a 

 sure bearer. 



tH CORTLAND. A promising new variety resulting from cross 

 pollenization of Mcintosh Red and Ben Davis, and inheriting 

 the good qualities of each parent. Beautiful red apple, ap- 

 prozimately the same size and fine flavor of the Mcintosh, 

 but ripens about three weeks or a month later. Good keeper. 

 Our buds were cut direct from the bearing Cortland in a 

 prominent orchard at Kinderhook, New York. 



b Ensee. Dull red, suggesting its Rome Beauty strain in size 

 and shape; crisp, tender, yellow flesh and good flavor. 

 DELICIOUS. Of peculiar and distinctive shape; brilliant dark 

 red, flesh fine grained, juicy, crisp and melting, flavor sweet, 

 with a slight acid taste, with a delightful aroma, very highest 

 quality. Excellent for eating, and the most popular fruit 

 stand apple. Packs well in boxes and bushels, always bringing 

 high prices on the leading markets, and in strong demand by 

 the best trade. Being a good shipper, along with its high red 

 color and fine flavor, has placed the Delicious among the top- 

 notchers. Tree is hardy, vigorous grower and a good, de- 

 pendable cropper when properly pollinized. Suggest planting 

 Grimes Golden and Jonathans as pollinizers with Delicious. 



I HARRISON'S RED DELICIOUS. An improved Delicious in 

 color. Retains all the vigor and productivity of the Red 

 Delicious but colors up weeks earlier than the ordinary strain. 

 The color is a dark red without stripes. Earlier coloring 

 enables the fruit to be picked earlier while it is firm, enabling 

 it to keep better. This is our second season in offering this new 

 apple and we would advise that you place your orders early as 

 our stock is limited. 5c per tree extra. 



Ik Gallia Beauty. A Rome Beauty type of apple identical in every 

 \ respect, except its earlier coloring qualities, recommended for 

 \ commercial planting. 



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

 with a smooth, glossy, brilliant deep red skin; flesh is white, 

 slightly tinged with yellow, firm, rather coarse, crisp, mild 

 sub-acid, fair flavor. Gano is one of the most popular export 

 apples, being bought by South American trade at a premium 

 in prices to others. Excellent keeper, standing long shipments 



as well as any other variety, usually packed in barrels. Tree 

 is a strong, vigorous grower, with somewhat drooping branches, 

 and comes into bearing young, producing regular and abundant 

 crops. A sure money-maker for the export trade. 



Hubbardston (Hubbardston None-Such). Large, red striped, 

 strong grower, bears well every year. 



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 export as Well 

 as domestic markets. New popular commercial 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 in 

 every way. Very long keeper of great value. An important 

 comrriercial variety in the East and a good money maker. Tree 

 is vigorous and healthy, yields big crops every year, but it 

 is necessary to plant Delicious or Jonathan as a pollinizer. 



NERO. Here is an apple possessing great merit which has 

 received far too little attention from planters of Eastern or- 

 chards. 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, 

 sell for good prices on the markets. Trees are hardy, extra 

 strong growers, healthy and very productive, as well as sure 

 crop pers . 



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

 markings. Flesh juicy, rich, crisp, tender, aromatic and highly 

 flavored. Tree a strong, erect grower, very healthy, extremely 

 hardy, and 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 overbalances this 

 difficulty. Popular old commercial variety in the Northern 

 States, and brings good prices on the Eastern markets. 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. 



Paragon. For description see Mammoth Black Twig. 



Red Pearmain. Medium size, yellowish striped with light 

 and dark red, sub-acid, good flavor. 



ROME BEAUTY. Large, round; mottled and striped in different 

 shades of red; flavor and quality way above the average; ap- 

 pearance and size are its valuable points; always 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 largely. Good, hardy, strong grower; blooms 

 late; bears heavily every year; is adapted to a wide range of 

 soils, elevations and conditions. Reliability, due to being frost- 

 proof, strong growing, sure bearing, unusual demand, with 

 high prices on the leading markets, 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. 



RED ROME BEAUTY. An improved Rome Beauty, identical 

 in vigor and production, color of fruit much darker and solid 

 red, producing a higher percentage of fancy apples than the 

 ordinary strain of Rome Beauty. This strain will eventually 

 replace the ordinary Rome Beauty, because of its improved 

 coloring characteristics. We advise commercial plantings.
