SUMMER VARIETIES 



Listed in order oi Ripening 



Varieties in larger type are the leading 



commercial sorts and most widely 



planted. 



• CRIMSON BEAUTY. A very hardy variety, originated in 

 Maine, strong grower, very productive, and yields early after 

 planting. We believe it to be the earliest ripening apple grown, 

 color bright red, flesh sub-acid. 



• YELLOW TRANSPARENT. The most widely 

 planted early yellow apple of medium size. It is grown com- 

 mercially and for home use, color golden yellow, flavor 

 excellent, trees are hardy and young bearer. 



• LM\JULt ^ jiew variety of the early Summer season, good 

 grower, dwarf habit, hardy, and early bearing. This grand 

 variety is much larger than the Yellow Transparent, proving 

 an excellent commercial variety and a filler. The skin is 

 bright yellow, white flesh, and slightly acid. Our propagating 

 wood of Lodi comes from a special selected strain of trees 

 from a well known Agricultural College planting. 



• AJNvJjIA* We believe the trees of this variety to be 

 the earliest bearing apple on the market. It is very common 

 for this new variety to yield beautiful red striped fruit only 

 two years after being planted. It is the ideal apple for home 

 use, being of good quality, extremely hardy and dwarf grower. 



• WILLIAMS EARLY RED. The best early red com- 

 mercial apple. The fruit colors to a rich, dark red, and can 

 be picked at an earlier stage of ripening for a lighter bright 

 red, if preferred. This grand variety is a large apple, juicy 

 and slightly tart. It comes into bearing early and produces 

 a good crop. This hardy variety can be grown in the New 

 England states very successfully. 



• WILSON RED JUNE. An immense large, solid red apple. 

 The trees are very hardy and fairly heavy yielding. It is a 

 fine home and commercial variety, and we reccommend a trial 

 planting. 



• EARLY McINTOSH. a new early red apple, origi- 

 nated by the New York Experiment Station. A good hardy 

 variety and grower, also heavy yielding. Characteristics about 

 the same as Mcintosh. Trees bear annually. Be sure to include 

 this grand variety. 



• DUCHESS OP OLDENBURG (Xtra Red Strain). This 

 new strain has all the good points of the popular old strain. 

 Its advantage is in the solid red color that gives it more 

 commercial value, our strain is propagated from buds selected 

 from a True Red Sport Limb growing on a heavy bearing tree 

 in Ohio. 



AUTUMN VARIETIES 



Listing in order Ripening near as Possible 



• WEALTHY. A beautiful red apple of moderate size and 

 fine quality. It is very hardy and bears early after planting. 

 It is a very good variety to use as a filler. 



• KENDALL. Another Mcintosh seedling coming from the 

 New York Experiment Station. This grand variety seems to 

 stand out well from the rest as a higher type of apple and 

 more attractive, carrying a deep red coloring over the entire 

 surface. The fiavor is more sprightly than Mcintosh, other- 

 wise it is about the same. It hangs to the tree somewhat 

 better than the Mcintosh. 



• LOBO. We have great faith in this new grand variety of 

 the Mcintosh family. Lobo is a beautiful specimen tree grow- 

 ing in the orchard. Its early growth is upright and bears 

 early after planting. The fruit is extra large, well colored, 

 and firm. Its flavor is very much like its parent Mcintosh 

 and of good quality. We would like to see our good friends 

 get on to this money-maker at an early date, as it is being 

 planted widely. 



• XTRA RED GRAVENSTEIN. A bud sport of the Red 

 Gravenstein, this old variety has been widely planted in past 

 years. The new sport's only difference is that it carries a 

 darker red color. 



• TWENTY OUNCE. A very large red and yellow striped 

 apple. It keeps until February. It is no doubt the largest 

 apple grown.
