 somewhat of a dwarf grower, bears very young,

 grow and bear bumper crops in Canada as well 

 as Georgia. Yellow Transparent is the first com- 

 mercial apple on the markets and ripens when 

 the demand for summer apples is extra strong; 

 consequently it always brings the best prices.

 large; brilliant red, juicy, 

 fine grained, tender, mild, 

 sub-acid, and very highly 

 fiavored. Late keeper and 

 an excellent shipper. Tre© 

 long lived but comes into 

 bearing very young and pro- 

 duces big crops every year.

 riety, demanding highest 

 prices on account of its at- 

 tractive red appearance and 

 fine fiavor. Fine variety for 

 a pollenizer.

 dark red apple, resembling 

 Jonathan as to size and 

 shape, but not quite as good

 County). Extra large, very 

 red. with a tint of yellow, 

 fiesh yellow, crisp, juicy, 

 sub-acid, good quality. Tree 

 slow grower and not a big 

 producer. Generally planted in New York. 

 Lobo. This variety has come into prominence in 

 a number of fruit districts due to the fact that 

 it is very highly colored and has many Mcintosh 

 characteristics. While not equal to Mcintosh in 

 quality, the quality is good. The season of Lobo 

 begins a little earlier than Mcintosh, but it keeps 

 about as long. The earlier coloring enables 

 growers to pick Lobo in advance of Mcintosh. 

 It hangs on the tree better than Mcintosh,
