 red striped, strong grower, bears well every 

 year.

 medium size, round oval shape, nearly 

 sweet, mild sub-acid; excellent flavor, good 

 shipper, long keeper, and sells at fancy 

 prices in export as well as domestic mar- 

 kets. New popular commercial variety in

 with yellow, crisp, sub-acid, aromatic, fine 

 flavor, of excellent quality in every way. 

 Very long keeper of great value. An im- 

 portant commercial variety in the East and 

 a good money maker. Tree is vigorous and 

 healthy, yields big crops, but it is neces- 

 sary to plant Delicious as a pollenizer. 



NERO. Here is an apple possessing great 

 merit which has received far too little at- 

 tention from planters of Eastern orchards. 

 Deep red, with handsome shading; medium 

 large size, of good quality and excellent 

 flavor; one of the longest keepers, one of 

 the best cold storage apples. Apples are 

 graded and packed easily, do not show 

 bruises and hold up well in storage, sell 

 for good prices on the markets. Trees are 

 hardy, extra strong growers, healthy and 

 very productive, as well as sure croppers.

 scarlet-red, with yellow mark- 

 ings. Flesh juicy, rich, crisp, 

 tender, aromatic and highly 

 flavored. Tree a strong, erect 

 grower, very healthy, ex- 

 tremely hardy, and free pro- 

 ducer. Blossoms are produced 

 late in the spring, thus escap- 

 ing frosts. Trees are slow in 

 coming into bearing, but the 

 quality of the fruit largely 

 overbalances this difficulty. 

 Popular old commercial va- 

 riety in the Northern States, 

 and brings good prices on the 

 Eastern markets. Should not 

 be planted south of Southern 

 Pennsylvania. Northern Spy 

 is one of the best varieties 

 on which to top bud or top 

 graft certain weaker growing 

 varieties.

 reputation due to real merit, Rome Beauty 

 is a variety Eastern orchardists should 

 plant. Good, hardy, strong grower; blooms 

 late; bears heavily every year; is adapted

 ditions. Reliability, due to being frost- 

 proof, strong growing, sure bearing, un-

 stores, make it a favorite with the growers. 

 Fine quality and long keeping for use and
