Grimes 



Ripens fairly late. Skin golden yelloir. Flesh yelloiv. 

 Flavor rich and spicy; slightly acid 

 Usually known as ''Grimes Golden," this apple holds a reputa- 

 tion 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 difference at any price." The re- 

 sult is that it brings higher prices, which means more money in 

 your pocket. 



In the vicinity of Philadelphia, 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. 



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 tempting 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. 



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 qualities are good ; the 

 quality of the fruit will be found unimpaired in January and 

 February. 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.
