 variety, an excellent keeper, and a popular barrel apple ; 

 always brings good prices. Generally planted in New Eng- 

 land, New York, Michigan and Canada, but not advisable to 

 plant south of the Mason-Dixon Line. 



Smokehouse — Fall. Large apple of super-fine flavor, excel- 

 lent 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.

 sort. Fruit large, round, greenish yellow, with red stripes; 

 flesh yellow, crisp and mildly acid; valuable as a keeper. 

 Excellent baking apple, and always sought by the larger 

 baking concerns and hotels; brings premium prices. A 

 good variety for the commercial orchard because the tree 

 is hardy, thrifty, healthy, one of the strongest growers, a 

 regular bearer; very productive. Desirable trees to top 

 work other sorts on. 



Starr — Summer. Large, attractive, with bright yellowish, 

 smooth skin; sometimes marked with a faint blush and 

 numerous russet dots; flesh yellow, fine, very tender, crisp, 

 juicy, aromatic and of extra fine quality, bringing highest

 large to large; green and yellow, almost hidden by deep, 

 dark red stripes; flesh yellow, not in the least mealy; plenty 

 of juice; firm, tender, rich, sub-acid, aromatic, quality the 

 best and finest. Splendid late keeper, but mellows for use 

 in the fall. Tree a quick and large grower; bears young, 

 often producing a barrel to a tree when five years old. Nec- 

 essary to plant Grimes Golden along with Stayman for 

 proper cross-pollinization ; bears every year; crops uniformly 

 heavy. Stayman is now planted in nearly all the new or- 

 chards in the East, to a large extent. One of the most 

 popular apples grown, and demand far exceeds the supply, 

 always bringing highest prices on the large markets; also 

 popular roadside market variety. See picture on inside
