Grimes Golden is the World's best Yellow apple 



GRIMES GOLDEN 



Ripens fairly late. Skin 

 golden yellow. Flesh yellow. 

 Flavor rich and spicy; slightly 

 acid. 



"Grimes Golden holds a re- 

 putation away ahead of most 

 fall apples because of its ap- 

 pearance and flavor. It is not 

 unusual for Grimes to bring 

 from 50 to 75 cents more per 

 bushel than other apples. 



The Flavor Is Excellent 



and many people feel about 

 this apple as others do about 

 Golden Bantam corn: "It's 

 worth the difference at any 

 price." The result is that it 

 brings higher prices, which 

 means more money in your 

 pocket. 



In the vicinity of Philadel- 

 phia, Grimes will be ready for 

 use some time in September, 

 but unless prices are excep- 

 tional it should be left on the 

 trees until somewhat later, as the flavor will 

 be considerably improved. 



Use Grimes as a Filler 



It comes into bearing before most of the 

 permanent trees and will help to bear the 

 orchard expenses before the other trees pro- 

 duce any fruit. Blossoming rather late in 

 the spring, the late frosts seldom do any 

 harm, and the tree is able to set fruit nearly 

 every year. 



If the fruit is carefully packed in boxes, 

 instead of barrels, the sale will be greatly 

 increased, as the customer will find the 

 golden color and attractive aroma too tempt- 

 ing to pass by. The smaller package helps

Grimes Golden — the best yellow apple 



the sale, as it is easy to say "Send home a 

 box," whereas if they are packed in a barrel, 

 there is some indecision on the part of the 

 buyer as to just how many apples he needs. 



A Home and Market Variety 



Grimes has the great advantage of being 

 as good for the home as it is when intended 

 for long shipment. It cannot be surpassed 

 for cooking or table use. The keeping qual- 

 ities are good; the quality of the fruit will 

 be found unimpaired in January and Febru- 

 ary. It makes no difference whether you are 

 after a strictly high-class market trade or 

 desire just a few trees for your garden, you 

 should plant Grimes. 



OTHER AUTUMN VARIETIES 



McINTOSH RED. An early winter variety in the 

 northern states, exceedingly valuable in certain 

 New England districts but not suitable for planting 

 south of Pennsylvania. It is a large red, white 

 fleshed, juicy apple that commands the highest prices 

 on northern markets. Highly recommended by us. 



NORTHVJ^ESTERN GREENING. Large, round, green- 

 ish yellow; juicy, firm, good quality; splendid keeper, 

 ships well. Attractive apple when packed in bushels, 

 demands good prices, excellent baking apple. Trees 

 are extremely hardy, vigorous, bear very young. A 

 very valuable variety for certain districts. This 



. variety ripens at a time when there are very few 

 apples in the market and sells for good money. It 

 is a'heavy yielder and the fruit is easy to grow. 



Red Gravenstein. This red sport is more attractive 

 than Gravenstein. It differs from Gravenstein only 

 in the solid dark red fruit. 



SMOKEHOUSE. Large apple of super-fine flavor, ex- 

 cellent 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. 



WEALTHY. Medium to large size; round; almost solid 

 red; flesh white or a little stained; tender, crisp, 

 juicy, fine grained, aromatic and very good flavor. 

 Relative good keeper. One of the most profitable 

 commercial apples. Tree is very hardy, withstanding 

 unusually cold climates, vigorous, fruits at early age, 

 bears regular and abundant crops. Tree somewhat 

 dwarf, making a fine filler.
