j^SU gass APPLE TREES 



• JOAN. Is a sensational apple of large size and is a beauti- 

 ful color of solid red. It bears annually and is very productive. 

 When placed in cold storage it keeps longer than Jonathan, its 

 parent. We recommend that this variety be given a trial in your 

 planting. 



• SHARON. This variety is being well received by the fruit 

 growers where it has come into fruit. It is well colored and of 

 dessert quality. 



• SECOR. An apple of exceptionally high quality. It is a 

 seedling of Salome and Jonathan. It is productive, medium red 

 in color, keeps two weeks longer than Jonathan in storage and 

 is free from spots. 



• Joan'Sharon and Secor originated by the Iowa 

 Agri. Experiment Sta. 



Head propagating foreman, Mr. L. S. 



Townsend, inspecting a Bearing Age 



Delicious Tree for bud selection. 



• RED SAUCE. A beautiful red apple of the highest 

 flavor. We recommend this new variety for trial and 

 home market. 



• SWEET DELICIOUS. As its name implies, it is a 

 wonderful apple for the home, comes into fruit early and is 

 highly praised for dessert. 



• YELLOW DELICIOUS. A "GOLDEN" apple which 

 has made a million dollar name for itself and growers. 

 It is a truly delicious apple in every respect. It is grown 

 in two-thirds of the States successfully, bears young, 

 grows very fast, produces big crops of the highest type 

 and quality fruit. 



There is never enough of this grand variety to take 

 care of the demand of the public. It will certainly pay 

 well to plant this variety on a large scale. 



Yellow Delicious is a large size apple, and can be 

 classed as a fairly good keeper. It is conical shaped, has 

 rich yellow flesh and is firm. Once eaten, its flavor will 

 never be forgotten, hence its popularity on the market. 

 Plan to plant TOWNSENDS' YELLOW DELICIOUS. Our 

 trees are propagated from carefully selected bearing 

 orchards only. Every tree comes to you sealed and 

 certified. 



• SMOKEHOUSE. Fine flavored apple lacking in acid- 

 ity. The trees are vigorous growers, bear usually bien- 

 nial crops and come into bearing early. The color of 

 fruit is neither distinctly yellow nor red. It is planted 

 mostly in Pennsylvania. 



EXTRA RED DELICIOUS, See Page 36. 



• DELICIOUS. A widely planted variety that has 

 proven a big money maker. The tree is hardy, a vigorous 

 grower, very productive, fruit medium to large roundish 

 conic, flesh yellowish, firm, tender, and juicy. Pleasant 

 flavor of mildly sub-acid very good. For commercial 

 orchards, we recommend of course, the "XTRA RED 

 DELICIOUS" which is solid red in color. 



EXTRA RED YORK, See Page 36. 



• NERO. A grand variety that has not been widely 

 planted commercially. Its coloring is of deep bright red, 

 size medium to large, an excellent flavor, and one of the 

 longest keepers in storage.

 very popular wherever grown. It is hardy, a reliable 

 cropper and its color is bright red.

 itself satisfactory, size large, bright dark red, and very

 rieties in the East.

 in the near future. Originated by the New York Ex- 

 periment Station.

 and is of the Winesap family. It is more highly colored 

 than the Stayman Winesap, somewhat larger, and about 

 the same shape. It is a good keeper and of excellent 

 quality, also vigorous grower and consistent yielder. We 

 advise planting this variety wherever Winesaps are grown.

 skin, yellowish covered with deep red, sub-acid and of 

 excellent flavor. It is an important commercial variety.

 skin tough, waxy, bright smooth, usually glossy greenish
