SUMMER VARIETIES 
Listed in order of Ripening 
Varieties in larger type are the leading 
commercial sorts and most widely 
planted. 
x CRIMSON BEAUTY. A very hardy variety, originated in 
Maine, strong grower, very productive, and yields early after 
planting. We believe it to be the earliest ripening apple grown, 
color bright red, flesh sub-acid. 
© YELLOW TRANSPARENT. che most widely 
planted early yellow apple of medium size. It is grown com- 
mercially and for home use, color golden yellow, flavor 
excellent, trees are hardy and young bearer. 
& 
LODI. A new variety of the early Summer season, good 
grower, dwarf habit, hardy, and early bearing. This grand 
variety is much larger than the Yellow Transparent, proving 
an excellent commercial variety and a filler. The skin is 
bright yellow, white flesh, and slightly acid. Our propagating 
wood of Lodi comes from a special selected strain of trees 
from a well known Agricultural College planting. 
@ 
ANOKA. We believe the trees of this variety to be 
the earliest bearing apple on the market. It is very common 
for this new variety to yield beautiful red striped fruit only 
two years after being planted. It is the ideal apple for home 
use, being of good quality, extremely hardy and dwarf grower. 
© WILLIAMS EARLY RED: pyegeceeny real com- 
mercial apple. The fruit colors to a rich, dark red, and can 
be picked at an earlier stage of ripening for a lighter bright 
red, if preferred. This grand variety is a large apple, juicy 
and slightly tart. It comes into bearing early and produces 
a good crop. This hardy variety can be grown in the New 
England states very successfully. 
~ WILSON RED JUNE. An immense large, solid red apple. 
The trees are very hardy and fairly heavy yielding. It is a 
Bue nome and commercial variety, and we reccommend a trial 
planting. 
© EARLY McINTOSH. A new early red apple, origi- 
nated by the New York Experiment Station. A good hardy 
variety and grower, also heavy yielding. Characteristics about 
the same as McIntosh. Trees bear annually. Be sure to include 
this grand variety. 
® DUCHESS OF OLDENBURG (Xtra Red Strain). This 
new strain has all the good points of the popular old strain. 
Its advantage is in the solid red color that gives it more 
commercial value, our strain is propagated from buds selected 
oe True Red Sport Limb growing on a heavy bearing tree 
in io. 
AUTUMN VARIETIES 
Listing in order Ripening near as Possible 
© WEALTHY. A beautiful red apple of moderate size and 
fine quality. It is very hardy and bears early after planting. 
It is a very good variety to use as a filler. 
® KENDALL, Another McIntosh seedling coming from the 
New York Experiment Station. This grand variety seems to 
stand out well from the rest as a higher type of apple and 
more attractive, carrying a deep red coloring over the entire 
surface. The flavor is more sprightly than McIntosh, other- 
wise it is about the same. It hangs to the tree somewhat 
better than the McIntosh. 
® LOBO. We have great faith in this new grand variety of 
the McIntosh family. Lobo is a beautiful specimen tree grow- 
ing in the orchard. Its early growth is upright and bears 
early after planting. The fruit is extra large, well colored, 
and firm. Its flavor is very much like its parent McIntosh 
and of good quality. We would like to see our good friends 
get on to this money-maker at an early date, as it is being 
planted widely. 
© XTRA RED GRAVENSTEIN. A bud sport of the Red 
Gravenstein, this old variety has been widely planted in past 
years. The new sport’s only difference is that it carries a 
darker red color. 
© TWENTY OUNCE. A very large red and yellow striped 
apple. It keeps until February. It is no doubt the largest 
apple grown.
