MAMMOTH RLACK TWIG. 



HAMHOTH BLACK TWIG— Originated in Arkansas. A 

 seedling of the Winesap, which it resembles, but it is superior in 

 many ways. Large, deep red, sub acid, early and abundant bear- 

 er and a good keeper. Tree is a strong grower and roots well. 

 This valuable winter apple has but few equals. December to April. 



BALDWIN — One of the best and most popular apples in cul- 

 tivation on account of its flavor and good shipping qualities. 

 Fruit is large, rourdish narrowing a little to the eye; the skin deep 

 red while the flesh is white; rich, crisp, juicy, highly flavored but 

 somewhat sub acid, and is a handsome fruit. Tree is a vigorous 

 grower and hears abundantly. Succeeds well in Western Mary- 

 land and the mountains of Virginia but drops its fruit a little too 



great value; has stood the most 



trying tests and found to be 



equal to Wealthy in point of 



hardiness, but superior in 



fruit and keeping qualities 



fruit large smooth greenish 



yellow; flesh fine grained, juicy, firm good quality; thoroughly 



tested. January to April. 



SMITH'S CIDER— Rather large, greenish white striped with 

 red, flesh tender, juicy with a mild sub acid flavor; a prodigious 

 bearer and a profitable market variety. December to Febmary. 



STARK — Thoroughly tested and always valuable, especially 

 for market. Large roundish, skin greenish yellow, shaded and 

 stripped with light and dark red nearly over the whole surface, 

 and thickly sprinkled with light brown dots; flesh yellow, moder- 

 ately juicy, mild sub acid, good quality, free. A good keeper, 

 December to February. 



WINESAP — We can hardly find words sufficiently strong to 

 express the high opinion we have of this fruit, possessing as it 

 does, a combination of so many excellent qualities. For cider it 

 has but few equals; for table it stands among the best; for keep- 

 ing it is justly esteemed; and for bearing it scarcely has a rival. 

 Considering all this, we must earnestly recommend it to the con- 

 sideration or orchardists. Fruit medium size, rather oblong; skin
