Harrisons 9 Nurseries, Berlin, Maryland 



Gravenstein — Fall, extra large, perfect in form and hand- 

 some in coloring — orange-yellow overlaid with broken stripes 

 of light and dark red; flesh is yellowish, firm, crisp, tender, 

 juicy, fine flavor. Good for cooking, extra vigorous tree, 

 comes into bearing rather early and bears profuse crops 

 regularly. Grown most extensively in California and com- 

 mands good prices. 



GRIMES GOLDEN (Grimes)— Fall, medium sized, golden 

 yellow, tender, rich, aromatic, sub-acid, delicious, possibly 

 the best flavored apple known, and a good keeper. No bet- 

 ter variety exists for eating raw or for cooking. Tree is 

 very hardy and one of the heaviest bearers known, produc- 

 ing extra large crops annually. Excellent variety for a 

 filler, as it comes into bearing very early. Grimes Golden 

 is the best pollinizer known, especially for Stayman Wine- 

 sap, Delicious, Paragon or Mammoth Black Twig, Winesap, 

 Mcintosh and others. Be sure to include Grimes Golden in 

 your orchard. When all factors are considered, Grimes 

 Golden is the best, highest flavored, longest keeper and 

 most profitable yellow apple grown. Numerous experiments 

 and observations on the study of cross-pollinization were 

 conducted by Dr. E. C. Auchter, horticulturist, University 

 of Maryland, now with the U. S. Department of Agriculture, 

 in our several large bearing commercial apple orchards at 

 Berlin.

 red striped, strong grower, bears well every year. 



JONATHAN — Early winter, medium to large; brilliant red, 

 juicy, fine grained, tender, mild, sub-acid, and very highly 

 flavored. Late keeper and an excellent shipper. Tree long 

 lived, but comes into bearing very young and produces big 

 crops every year. Popular bushel and box variety, demand- 

 ing highest prices on account of its attractive red appear- 

 ance and fine flavor. Fine variety for a pollinizer.

 red, with a tint of yellow, flesh yellow, crisp, juicy, sub-acid, 

 good quality. Tree slow grower and not a big producer. 

 Generally planted in New York.

 ling Jonathan as to size and shape, but not quite as good 

 flavor. Splendid shipper and keeper. Tree hardy, and 

 comes into bearing young.

 with crimson, flesh white stained with red, tender, poor 

 quality. Tree vigorous, early bearer.
