There is a better market in the future for Yellow Transparents 



Yellow Transparent — most profitable 

 summer apple grown 



SPRING PLANTING 



For best results practically all types and varieties 

 of nursery stock should be planted just as early in the 

 spring as the ground can be worked into proper con- 

 dition. In the Southern states the plantings can be 

 made every month during the winter time. However, 

 in the Northern states it is necessary to let the ground 

 be fully thawed out and the soil worked into proper 

 condition before the nursery stock should be planted. 



In our section our trees, shrubs, and plants do not 

 2eaf out as early in the spring as in sections to the 

 West and North of us due to the retarding influence 

 of the cool winds blowing across the cold waters of the 

 Atlantic Ocean. Consequently it makes it possible for 

 us to ship dormant nursery stock to Northern states 

 at a later date so that it will arrive at the ideal plant- 

 ing time. 



We have a special arrangement for late orders in 

 the spring. We keep a certain amount of nursery 

 stock in cool, moist cellars insuring that it will be in 

 dormant healthy condition for planting late in the 

 season. By handling the nursery stock in this way it 

 will live and grow satisfactorily although planted late 

 in the spring. 



YELLOW TRANSPARENT 



Ripens extremely early. Skin clear 

 yellow. Flesh white. The flavor, while, 

 slightly acid, is excellent. Size medium. ' 



This is the most popular early green 

 apple grown and has proven a profit 

 maker in a large number of apple dis- 

 tricts. The Yellow Transparent tree is 

 very hardy, healthy and somewhat of 

 a dwarf grower, bears when very young 

 and makes an excellent filler. We be- 

 lieve there is a big future for the 

 grower who plants this variety, we our- 

 selves anticipate planting several hun- 

 dred trees of Yellow Transparent this 

 year. 



Yellow Transparent First on the 

 Market 



as it ripens early in July, making ex- 

 cellent eating apples and selling with- 

 out difficulty. There is almost no 

 competition at this time; Yellow Trans- 

 parent leads the field, and is eagerly sought 

 for by those people who find their "apple 

 appetities" impatient. 



Yellow Transparent Trees 

 Bear Early 



and produce nearly every season. They are 

 rather dwarf growers, and may be planted a 

 little closer than most other varieties. A fine 

 soil is not necessary, or even desirable, as 

 the trees seem to grow best on rather poor 

 ground, such as hillsides and uplands. 



Adaptability Is an Additional 

 Advantage 



It thrives just as well in the South as it 

 does in the North. Most varieties are par- 

 ticularly well adapted to a certain region, 

 and, while they may be grown elsewhere, are 

 only at their best when grown in the pre- 

 scribed region. Yellow Transparent is ex- 

 tremely successful in Georgia, and does 

 equally well in Canada. 



AUTUMN VARIETIES 



American Golden Russet. Sometimes called Sheep- 

 Nose. Medium size, round; greenish russet or bronze. 



Fameuse (Snow). Medium size to large; deep red; 

 flesh snowy white, fair flavor, sells for good prices 

 on local markets, but not recommended for shipping. 

 Most popular in Canada. 



Gravenstein. Extra large, perfect in form and hand- 

 some in coloring— orange-yellow overlaid with broken 

 stripes of light and dark red; flesh is yellowish, flrm, 

 crisp, tender, juicy, fine flavor. Good for cooking, 

 extra vigorous tree, comes into bearing rather early 

 and bears profuse crops regularly. Grown most 

 extensively in California and commands good price. 



JONATHAN. Medium to large; brilliant red, juicy, fine 



grained, tender, mild, sub-acid, and very highly 

 flavored. Late keeper and an excellent shipper. 

 Tree long lived but comes into bearing very young 

 and produces big crops every year. Popular bushel 

 and box variety, demanding highest prices on account 

 of its attractive red appearance and fine fiavor. Fine . 

 variety for a pollenizer. 



King David. A beautiful deep dark red apple, resem- 

 bling Jonathan as to size and shape, but not quite 

 as good flavor. Splendid shipper and keeper. Tree 

 hardy, and comes into bearing young.
