CARIiOUGH.- 



NEW VARIETIES. 



(1 yr. hy mail 3c. each additional.) 

 -In tbis are combined the valuable qualities desired by everybody, viz.: a long keep- 

 ing, handsome, sweet apple; and we unqualifiedly 

 state that for great beauty of fruit, long keeping 

 and handsome growth of tree it is absolutely with- 

 out a rival among apples. The fruit is of medium 

 size, ovate and almost as smooth and uniform in 

 size and shape as though made of wax from a mould. 

 Color bright lemon-yellow, covered with lively 

 crimson next the sun— as smooth and beautiful as 

 Is possible to imagine — hangs on the tree until 

 freezing weather,if permitted.and will keep in good 

 condition without any special care whatever until 

 June. In quality it is of the best, being sweet, mild, 

 creamy and pleasant. The tree is a most vigorous 

 and beautiful grower with stems as straight as bam- 

 boo poles, smooth, with a heavy growth of large 

 foliage; also an enormous, annual bearer. The 

 Carlough is a chance seedling that originated in 

 Rockland Co., New York, on a farm now owned by 

 Joseph Carlough, in whose honor the variety is 

 named. On learning of its wonderful keeping pro- 

 perties, growth, productiveness and bearing every 

 year, we arranged for its introduction. Mr Carlough wrote us on ^pril 5th 1885, "I have looked after the 

 Iruit for the last five years. Its good qualities are late keeping and bearing every year. It hangs on the 

 tree until November and will keep until June or July." 1st class, ea., 50c; doz., $5.00; 100, S30.00. 2yrs.,
