BALDWIN 



BALDWIN — Winter. Bright red. Trees are rapid growers 

 and attain a large size. A good late keeper when grown in 

 the North. Standard in the section from New Eng- 

 land to West Virginia and west to Michigan. Fruit 

 large, round, red all over ; rich subacid ; splendid ship- 

 per. Quick and large grower ; yields big crops, but 

 does not bear until six or eight years old. We recom- 

 mend it highly for Northern Pennsylvania, New York, 

 all of New England and similar country. Good care 

 will make Baldwin trees bear when six years old, if 

 proper cross-pollination with other varieties is secured. 

 One acre of Baldwin trees in Massachusetts (50 trees) 

 produced 227 barrels, or 681 bushels. A well-cared-for 

 orchard of Baldwins should produce every year ten 

 times the money that corn or wheat will yield on the 

 same acreage, and with little more work. Every Ap- 

 ple-eater knows Baldwin, the old reliable. It will sell 

 when you can't give away some other sorts ; and the 

 buyer is ready to pay a fair price, for he knows it.
