fect shape, smooth, glossy, deep red skin; flesh 
white, slightly tinged with yellow, firm, rather 
coarse, crisp, mild, sub-acid, fair flavor. Gano is 
one of the most popular export apples, for the South

shipments, usually packed in barrels. A sure money- 
maker for the export trade.

round oval shape, nearly sweet, mild sub-acid; ex- 
cellent flavor, good shipper, long keeper, and sells 
at fancy prices in export as well as domestic mar- 
kets. New popular commercial variety in Virginia.

in size and round; skin smooth, yellowish covered 
with deep red, the general effect being dark red; 
flesh tender, tinged with yellow, crisp sub-acid, aro- 
matic, fine flavor, of excellent quality, long keeper 
of great value. An important commercial variety 
in the East. Tree is vigorous and healthy, yields big 
crops. Plant Delicious or Jonathan as a pollenizer. 
MACOUN. Similar quality and texture as McIntosh 
Red, although it ripens 2 to 3 weeks later than 
Cortland. 
NERO. An apple which has received far too little 
attention from planters of Eastern orchards. Deep 
red, with handsome shading; medium large size, of 
good quality and excellent flavor; one of the longest
