ROME BEAUTY 



ROME BEAUTY— Winter. Large, round; mottled and 

 striped in different shades of red; flavor and quality way 

 above the average; appearance and size are its valuable 

 points; always in strong demand and brings highest prices. 

 Keeps in good condition till May and June. With an estab- 

 lished reputation due to real merit, Rome Beauty is a 

 variety Eastern orchardists should plant largely. Good, 

 hardy, strong grower; blooms late; bears heavily every 

 year; is adapted to a wide range of soils, elevations and 

 conditions. Reliability, due to being frost-proof, strong 

 growing, sure bearing, unusual demand, with high prices 

 on the leading markets, especially from the chain stores, 

 make it a favorite with the grower. Fine quality and long 

 keeping for use and for handling make it popular with con- 

 sumers and dealers. Most attractive when packed in boxes 

 and bushels.

 juicy, sub-acid, good flavor. Skin almost smooth, but cov- 

 ered with greenish to yellowish brown russet; long keeper.
