 in and year out. The fruit is fairly large size and 

 uniform, also excellent keeper. The color is red 

 with stripes, and flavor is well above the average.

 the Rome Beauty family. It is a wonderful apple 

 for those who want a high color on their Rome 

 Beauties. It has the same characteristics as the 

 Rome, but being a solid red can be picked ten days 

 to two weeks earlier. It is an excellent keeper and 

 of high quality and sizes up well into top grades. 

 All our trees are propagated from bearing orchards. 

 Plant from this preferred stock.

 about the same time as Delicious but keeps longer. 

 It is a very attractive apple, bears young and an- 

 nually. Try a few trees this year. - 



• MEDINA. A Delicious type apple, large and at- 

 tractive red, ripening later than the Delicious and 

 an excellent variety to prolong the season. 



• LOWRY. New popular commercial variety that 

 has been grown successfully in Virginia. It is a 

 beautiful darkish red apple, round to oval shape, 

 mild sub-acid, flesh white and slightly tinged to 

 yellow. It is a good keeper and ships excellently, 

 also sells on the market readily at fancy prices.
