Harrisons 9 Nurseries, Berlin, Maryland 



cold storage apple, strong demand for carload shipments 

 of Baldwins to European and South American markets. 

 Brings high prices on foreign markets; also popular on the 

 New England and Northern States markets. Grows to per- 

 fection in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan 

 and Canada, but should not be planted South of the Mason- 

 Dixon line. Baldwin is the leading commercial .variety in 

 the Northern States. 



Ben Davis — Winter, fine looking, large, round; yellow with 

 red stripes; flesh white, juicy sub-acid, coarse. Good for 

 cooking, but on account of poor flavor not desirable for 

 fresh eating. Finest keeper known. Can be kept in cold 

 storage until July. Excellent shipper, usually packed in 

 barrels. Best known export apple, always in good demand 

 by European, South American and Asiatic buyers; highest 

 prices. Grow Ben Davis on a commercial scale for export 

 trade. Tree is a rapid grower, healthy, vigorous, bears at 

 an early age, heavy cropper and a sure bearer. 



Benoni — Summer, orange yellow — lively red, productive. 



CORTLAND — Fall, a promising new variety resulting from 

 cross pollinization of Mcintosh Red and Ben Davis, and in- 

 heriting the good qualities of each parent. Beautiful red 

 apple, approximately the same size and fine flavor of the 

 Mcintosh, but ripens about three weeks or a month later. 

 Good keeper. Our buds were cut direct from the bearing 

 Cortland in a prominent orchard at Kinderhook, New York. 



DUCHESS (Duchess of Oldenburg) — Summer. Medium 

 size, red striped, flesh white, juicy and good flavor. Un- 

 usually heavy bearer, very dependable cropper. You can 

 depend on the Duchess to yield apples you can sell for 

 good prices. Trees are natural dwarf growers and make 

 fine fillers; require small root and branch space. Very 

 hardy, and can be successfully grown in the Southern States 

 as well as the cold climates of Minnesota, Montana and 

 Canada. 



Early Harvest — Summer, very early, not a good keeper; fruit 

 medium size pale yellow, tender, juicy, sub-acid. Fine for 

 home orchard because of its merit as a cooking and des- 

 sert fruit. Tree is a vigorous grower and bears early and 

 regularly. 



Ensee — Winter, dull red, suggesting its Rome Beauty strain 

 in size and shape; crisp, tender, yellow flesh and good 

 flavor. 



Early Mcintosh — Summer, red, attractive, good size; flesh 

 white, fine, tender, juicy and fine flavor, being similar to 

 Mcintosh Red. Tree vigorous, hardy, healthy and productive. 



Fameuse (Snow) — Fall, medium size to large; deep red; 

 flesh snowy white, fair flavor, sells for good prices on local 

 markets, but not recommended for shipping. Most popular 

 in Canada.
