Roxbury Russet. Winter. Large, firm, moderately tender, 

 juicy, sub-acid, good flavor. Skin almost smooth, but covered 

 with greenish to yellowish brown russet; long keeper. Most 

 popular russet apple, tree hardy, strong grower, and a pro- 

 lific bearer. 



Red June (Carolina Red June). Summer. Medium 

 size, conical, dark red, juicy, fairly good flavor, very pro- 

 ductive. 



RHODE ISIiAND GREENING. Mid-winter. Large, 

 greenish yellow, flesh crisp, juicy, quite acid, firm, fine 

 grained, tender, and of very fine flavor and quality. This 

 large and superior Northern winter apple is famous, and is 

 highly prized for eating and cooking; also valuable com- 

 mercial variety, an excellent keeper, and a popular barrel 

 apple; always brings good prices. Generally planted in New 

 England, New York, Michigan and Canada, but not advis- 

 able to plant south of the Mason-Dixon Line. 



Smokehouse. Fall. Large apple of super-fine flavor, excel- 

 lent for eating, yellowish green mottled with dull red and 

 with many russet dots; flesh firm, crisp, juicy and aromatic. 

 Tree large, vigorous and reliably productive. 



STARK. Winter. Long keeper and a reliable commercial 

 sort. Fruit large, round, greenish yellow, with red stripes; 

 flesh yellow, crisp and mildly acid; valuable as a keeper. 

 Excellent baking apple, and always sought by the larger 

 baking concerns and hotels; brings premium prices. A good 

 variety for the commercial orchard because the tree is hardy, 

 thrifty, healthy, one of the strongest growers, a regular 

 bearer; very productive. Desirable trees to top work 

 other sorts on. 



Starr. Summer. Large, attractive, with bright yellowish 

 smooth skin; sometimes marked with a faint blush anc 

 numerous russet dots; flesh yellow, fine, very tender 

 crisp, juicy, aromatic and of extra fine quality, bringing 

 highest prices. Recommended to those v/ith nearby mar 

 kets, but a poor long distance shipper. Popular in South 

 ern New Jersey. 



STAY3IAN WIXESAP (StajTnan). Winter. Me 

 dium large to large; green and yellow, almost hidden by 

 deep, dark red stripes; flesh yellow, not in the least 

 mealy; plenty of juice; firm, tender, rich, sub-acid, aro 

 matic, quality the best and finest. Splendid late keeper 

 but mellows for use in the fall. Tree a quick and large 

 grower; bears young, often producing a barrel to a tree 

 when five years old. Necessary to plant Grimes Golden 

 along with Stayman for proper cross-pollinization ; bears 

 every year; crops uniformly heavy. Stayman is now planted 

 in nearly all the new orchards in the East, to a large extent. 

 One of the most popular apples grown, and demand far ex- 

 ceeds the supply, always bringing highest prices on the large 

 markets; also popular roadside market variety.

red; tine quality; good keeper. (^

yellow, skin mottled and blushed with deep red and broad 



stripes of bright carmine; fair quality, long keeper, and 



excellent for cooking.

with red, crisp and tender. Very good.

color, thick skin. 



WIIyI;IAMS EARDY RED. Summer. Medium to large 

 size, bright, rich red; flesh is crisp, tender, juicy and sub- 

 acid; good quality. Its bright, attractive red coloring, with 

 satisfactory size and firmness, makes the Williams Early Red 

 the most popular summer variety grown, and always in strong 

 demand with exceedingly high prices. It is ready for market 

 just about the time people are growing hungry for new 

 apples and are willing to pay a handsome premium for real 

 fruit. Fine for a filler or permanent tree, being hardy, and 

 can be successfully grown in New England States and Can- 

 ada. All commercial orchards should include Williams Early 

 Red.
