SUMMER VARIETY APPLES 



YELLOW TRANSPARENT 



Ripens extremely early. 

 Skin clear yellow. Flesh 

 white. The flavor, while 

 slightly acid, is excellent. 

 Size medium. 



This is the most pop- 

 ular early green apple 

 grown and has proven a 

 profit maker in a large 

 number of apple districts. 

 The Yellow Transparent 

 tree is very hardy, healthy 

 and somewhat of a dwarf 

 grower, bears when very 

 young and makes an ex- 

 cellent filler. We believe 

 there is a big future for 

 the grower who plants 

 this variety, we ourselves 

 anticipate planting sev- 

 eral hundred trees of 

 Yellow Transparent this 

 year. 



Yellow Transparent 

 First on the Market 



as it ripens early in July, 

 making excellent eating 

 apples and selling with- 

 out difficulty. There is al- 

 most no competition at 

 this time; Yellow Trans- 

 parent leads the field, and is eagerly sought 

 for by those people who find their "apple 

 appetites" impatient. 



Yellow Transparent Trees Bear Early 



and produce nearly every season. They are rather 

 dwarf growers, and may be planted a little closer 

 than most other varieties. A fine soil is not neces- 

 sary, or even desirable, as the trees seem to grow 

 best on rather poor ground, such as hillsides and 

 uplands. 



Yellow Transparent — Most profitable summer apple grown 



Adaptability Is an Additional 

 Advantage 



It thrives just as well in the South as it does 

 in the North. Most varieties are particularly well 

 adapted to a certain region, and, while they may 

 be grown elsewhere, are only at their best when 

 grown in the prescribed region. Yellow Transpar- 

 ent is extremely successful in Georgia, and does 

 equally well in Canada. 



OTHER SUMMER VARIETIES 



Benoni. Orange-yellow — lively red, productive. 



DUCHESS (Duchess of Oldenburg). Medium size, red 

 striped, flesh white, juicy and good flavor. Unusually 

 heavy bearer, very dependable cropper. You can de- 

 pend on the Duchess to yield apples you can sell for 

 good prices. Trees are natural dwarf growers and 

 make fine fillers; require small root and branch 

 space. 



Early Harvest. Very early, not a good keeper; fruit 

 medium size, pale yellow, tender, juicy, sub-acid. 

 Fine for home orchard because of its merit as a cook- 

 ing and dessert fruit. Tree is a vigorous grower and 

 bears early and regularly. 



Early Mcintosh. Red, attractive, good size; flesh white, 

 fine, tender, juicy and fine flavor, being similar to 

 Mcintosh Red. Tree vigorous, hardy, healthy and 

 productive. 



Liveland Raspberry. Large, waxy white, marbled with 

 crimson, flesh white stained with red, tender, poor 

 quality. Tree vigorous, early bearer. 



Milton — A very handsome new apple of the Mcintosh 

 type. Fruit a beautiful pinkish red with tender, 

 crisp, white flesh of excellent flavor. Trees hardy 

 and vigorous. Ripens a month ahead of Mcintosh. 

 Red (small 1 yr. trees only). 



Red Astrachan. Medium size, yellow with dark red 

 patches; flesh decidedly acid and juicy: excellent 

 for cooking, satisfactory for home plantings, but on 

 account of its poor shipping qualities and irregular 



bearing not advisable for commercial orchards. Tree 

 very hardy, vigorous and a good heavy bearer every 

 other year. 



Red June (Carolina Red June). Medium size, conical, 

 dark red, juicy, fairly good flavor, very productive. 



Starr. Large, attractive with bright yellowish smooth 

 skin; sometimes marked with a faint blush and nu- 

 merous russet dots; flesh yellow, fine, very tender, 

 crisp, juicy, aromatic and of extra fine quality, bring- 

 ing highest prices. Recommended to those with 

 nearby markets, but a poor long distance shipper. 

 Popular in Southern New Jersey. 



Sweet Bough. Large, pale yellow; tender, sweet. 



Summer Rambo. Large, yellowish green, splashed 

 with red, crisp and tender. Very good. 



Wilson Red June. Fairly large, red; good quality. 

 Popular in New Jersey. 



WILLIAMS EARLY RED. Medium to large size, bright, 

 rich red; flesh is crisp, tender, juicy and sub-acid; 

 good quality. Its bright, attractive red coloring, 

 with satisfactory size and firmness, makes the Wil- 

 liams Early Red the most popular summer variety 

 grown, and always in strong demand with exceed- 

 ingly high prices. It is ready for market just about 

 the time people are growing hungry for new apples 

 and are willing to pay a handsome premium for 

 real fruit. Fine for a filler or permanent tree, being 

 hardy, and can be successfully grown in New Eng- 

 land States and Canada. All commercial orchards 

 should include Williams Early Red.
