Other Winter Apples 



BALDWIN. Bright red. Fruit large, round, with white flesh. 

 Trees are rapid growers and attain a large size, yiehling large 

 crops, but do not bear until six or eight years old. We recom- 

 mend Baldwin highly for Northern Pennsylvania, New York, 

 all of New England, and similar country. 

 Ben Davis. Red all over. Size medium to large. Flesh white. 

 Tree is strong-growing and very productive. Fruit will keep 

 until late in the season. 



GANO. Skin bright red. 

 Flesh white. Recom- 



mended especially for com- 

 mercial orchards on ac- 

 count of its fine appear- 

 ance, keeping quality and 

 l)roductiveness. Size me- 

 dium to large. 



Northern Spy. Bright scar- 

 let, with yellow markings. 

 Flesh juicy and highly fla- 

 vored. Tree a strong, 

 erect grower and free pro- 

 ducer. The blooms are 

 l)roduced late in the spring, 

 thus escaping the frosts. 

 The trees are slow in com- 

 ing to bearing, but the 

 quality of the fruit largely 

 overbalances this difliculty. 

 Fruit keeps until late 

 spring. 



PARAGON (Mammoth 

 Black Twig). Skin quite 

 smooth ; yellow, covered 

 with deep red. Flesh high- 

 ly tinged with yellow, sub- 

 acid. Trees are vigorous, 

 healthy, and yield tpite 

 freely. In the Kast it is 

 one of the best commer- 

 cial varieties. It seems to 

 that is, an altitude of 400 to 1000 feet. ' 



Rhode Island Greening. Greenish yellow ; somewhat flattened. 

 Flesh clear white, crisp, juicy, and slightly acid. It is one of 

 the three varieties that have been extremely popular and profit- 

 able in New England and New York for more than a genera- 

 tion. It is a good variety for market, standing shipping well, 

 and showing up in market to good advantage. Keeps well until 

 March or April. 



ROME BEAUTY. I'ellow, mottled and striped in varying 

 shades of red. The flavor and the quality of the fruit is way 

 above the average, and its appearance and size are extremely 

 valuable points. In almost any market Rome Beauty sells 

 well and brings good profits. Trees are strong growers, and 

 yield freely nearly every year.

 white flesh. Do best along the eastern coast. November to June.
