AUTUMN VARIETY APPLES 



GRIMES GOLDEN 



Grimes Golden — the best yellow apple 



Use Grimes as a Filler 



It comes into bearing before most of the 

 permanent trees and will help to bear the 

 orchard expenses before the other trees pro- 

 duce any fruit. Blossoming rather late in 

 the spring, the late frosts seldom do any 

 harm, and the tree is able to set fruit nearly 

 every year. 



If the fruit is carefully packed in boxes, 

 instead of barrels, the sale will be greatly 

 increased, as the customer will find the 

 golden color and attractive aroma too tempt- 

 ing to pass by. The smaller package helps 

 the sale, as it is easy to say "Send home a 

 box," whereas if they are packed in a barrel, 

 there is some indecision on the part of the 

 buyer as to just how many apples he needs. 



Ripens fairly late. Skin 

 golden yellow. Flesh yel- 

 low. Flavor rich and spicy; 

 slightly acid. 



Grimes Golden holds a 

 reputation away ahead of 

 most fall apples because of 

 its appearance and flavor. 

 It is not unusual for Grimes 

 to bring from 50 to 75 cents 

 more per bushel than other 

 apples. 



The Flavor Is Excellent 



and many people feel about 

 this apple as others do 

 about Golden Bantam 

 corn: "It's worth the dif- 

 ference at any price." The 

 result is that it brings 

 higher prices, which means 

 more money in your pocket. 

 In the vicinity of Phila- 

 delphia, Grimes will be 

 ready for use some time 

 in September, but unless 

 prices are exceptional it should be left on 

 the trees until somewhat later, as the 

 flavor will be considerably improved. 



A Home and Market Variety 



Grimes has the great advantage of being 

 as good for the home as it is when intended 

 for long shipment. It cannot be surpassed 

 for cooking or table use. The keeping qual- 

 ities are good; the quality of the fruit will 

 be found unimpaired in January and Febru- 

 ary. It makes no difference whether you are 

 after a strictly high-class market trade or 

 desire just a few trees for your garden, you 

 should plant Grimes. 



OTHER AUTUMN VARIETIES 



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 price. 



King David. A beautiful deep dark red apple, re- 

 sembling Jonathan as to size and shape, but not 

 quite as good flavor. Splendid shipper and 

 keeper. Tree hardy, and comes into bearing 

 yoimg. 



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 Mcintosh 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. 



Maiden's Blush. One of the most beautiful; pale 

 lemon and crimson cheek; flesh white, tender 

 and crisp. Tree vigorous and good bearer.
