JONATHAN 



Jonathan — A marvelous money maker 

 Superior red strain 



Keeping Qualities Are Good 



Without much care, Jonathan may be 

 kept until February, or possibly a bit 

 later. When particular care has been 

 paid to the packing and selection of per- 

 fect fruits, it will be found a most de- 

 sirable variety for the Holiday season. 

 The deep red skin which verges upon the 

 purple where it has been tanned by the 

 sun, shows up to advantage in attractive 

 baskets. Perhaps because of its splendid 

 coloring, it makes a special appeal. In 

 any event, it has proven most popular. 



Late Fall 



Skin is brilliant red. Flesh 

 white, juicy and fine grained. Size 

 runs medium to large. 



Jonathan is well able to hold 

 its name high among the different 

 varieties which ripen at about the 

 same time. Its taste is excep- 

 tional; very few apples are able 

 to approach it in this respect, and, 

 in addition, you will find that 



Jonathan Stands Shipping 

 Well 



Many apples are excellent to the 

 eye and to the taste, but fail to 

 stand up under the handling 

 which they must get, and there- 

 fore do not enjoy real commercial 

 success. Jonathan in this sense is 

 exceptional, for it seems able to 

 stand much handling without ill 

 effects. The skin is thin but tough. 



Trees Are Long Lived 



although they bear fruit quite young. Jona- 

 than is more consistent with its crops from 

 year to year than many other varieties, as it 

 will produce good crops practically every year. 

 In the West, Jonathan has long been a stand- 

 ard commercial variety and has proven itself 

 to be one of the leading commercial varieties 

 of the East. Harrisons' super-strain of Jona- 

 than has been produced by "bud selection," 

 being a very high, brilliant red color. 



We highly recommend you to plant Jona- 

 than in a commercial orchard as well as your 

 home orchard. 



YELLOW DELICIOUS 



A golden-yellow apple with characteristics 

 and shape of the well known Delicious apple. 

 This apple has a remarkably good flavor and 

 is popular during the fall and early winter 

 for fresh eating. The flavor and condition 

 of the fruit is at its best between late Sep- 

 tember and January. To many people the 

 exquisite flavor of the Yellow Delicious is 

 considered even better than that of the fa- 

 mous Delicious — the fruit of the Yellow 

 Delicious averages in size as large as the De- 

 licious. 



Bears Bumper Crops 

 Even at Young Age 



The Yellow Delicious tree is very thrifty, 

 hardy, strong, vigorous grower and is spe- 

 cially renowned for its heavy bearing at a 

 very young age. It is a prolific cropper and 

 is dependable as a good bearer each year. 

 The Yellow Delicious bears heavier and 

 larger crops annually than Delicious. On 



account of its early bearing habits, we recom- 

 mend planting Yellow Delicious as a filler 

 variety along with other varieties in your 

 orchard of permanent trees. Of course, you 

 can plant the Yellow Delicious as a perma- 

 nent tree in your orchard, as evidently this 

 variety has the general appearance of being 

 long-lived. 



Harrisons' Recommend You to 

 Plant Now 



The Yellow Delicious has been planted in 

 every apple district and its fruits are known 

 on the commercial markets where they bring 

 good prices. 



The Yellow Delicious has proven itself 

 worthy as a commercial, as well as a good 

 home variety. We recommend your planting 

 Yellow Delicious on account of its high qual- 

 ity, being an extra heavy bearer, and produces 

 crops at an early age, thereby making it a 

 good money maker.
