 Northern States.

 strain in size and shape; crisp, tender, yel- 

 low flesh and good flavor.

 shape; brilliant dark red, flesh fine grained, 

 juicy, crisp and melting, flavor sweet, w^ith 

 a slight acid taste, with a delightful aroma,

 and the most popular fruit stand apple.

 bringing high prices on the leading markets, 

 and in strong demand by the best trade.

 red color and fine flavor, has placed the 

 Delicious among the topnotchers. Tree is 

 hard, vigorous grower and a good, depend- 

 able croDper when properly pollenized. Sug- 

 gest planting Grimes Golden and Jonathans 

 as pollenizers with Delicious. 



HARRISONS' RED DELICIOUS. An improved 

 Delicious in color. Retains all the vigor and 

 productivity of the Red Delicious but colors 

 up weeks earlier than the ordinary strain. 

 The color is a dark red without stripes. 

 Earlier coloring enables the fruit to be 

 picked earlier while it is firm, enabling it 

 to keep better. This is our third season 

 in offering this new apple and we would 

 advise that you place your orders early as 

 our stock is limited. 5c per tree extra.

 identical in every respect, except its earlier 

 coloring qualities, recommended for com- 



mercial planting.
