Northwestern Greening 



fJarly fall. Skin greenish yelloic. Flesh ichite, \cith good flavor. 

 Size large 

 Northwestern Greening is an exceedingly hardy apple and will 

 produce good fruit when other varieties have succumbed to cli- 

 matic hardships. However, it must not be thought that it is 

 planted for that reason alone — its color and taste would guar- 

 antee it a place in home and commercial orchards without 

 dependence upon its vigor. "When used as a cooking apple it 



COOKS EVENLY AND QUICKLY 

 and has a fine yellow color which rendei*s it remarkably attrac- 

 tive. It has attained a great reputation for long keeping, as a 

 large part of the crop does not reach its best quality before the 

 first of January, Much of the crop will still be sound at the end 

 of winter and some of it 



MAY KEEP TILL JUNE 



You can easily see how this apple will fatten your pocketbook. 

 The man who offers a fine apple in May and .Tune can demand 

 almost any price he wishes to get. If you offer apples for sale 

 when everyone else has them, prices are sure to be fairly low 

 unless you grow quality apples. With the Northwestern you 

 come into the field before the early summer apples have ripened, 

 and. in many cases, people will believe the fiiiit imported. 



Shape is sometimes irregular, but this irregularity is not so 

 obvious as to make the fruit unsuitable for sale. The long time 

 it may be kept insures a good purchase price, and the fact that it 

 is a good cooking anple makes it doubly desirable. 



Trees of this variety will do well from Maine to West Virginia, 

 and are particularly well adapted to the colder regions, while, at 

 the same time, they are productive of excellent fruits in the 

 warmer States. Does not bear very early, but fruits very reli- 

 ably when it has made a start. 



Northwestern Greening answers a demand which exists every 

 winter and spring for a good cooking apple. You can come into 

 this market and make good money if you are able to keep apples, 

 and this one is considered a particularly good keeper.
