APPLES 



{Continued) 



KING — Has few su- 

 periors on the score either 

 of beauty or quality of 

 fruit; accordingly, it is one 

 of the most widely planted 

 apples in home orchards, 

 and sells for a highe*r aver- 

 age than most other stand- 

 ard apples. The fruits are 

 a beautiful red on a yellow 

 background, uniformly 

 large and symmetrical. 

 Though the flesh is rather 

 coarse, it is crisp, tender, 

 juicy, aromatic, and richly 

 flavored. King keeps until 

 Thrives only in fertile, well-drained 



LOVETT 



x\s the years roll by we are more and more im- 

 pressed with the sterling characteristics of this, in 

 many ways, unique summer sort. In order to fea- 

 ture it, as is becoming its merit, we have fully de- 

 scribed it on page 3, while this year's front cover 

 picture shows it at its best. Price, each, $2.00; 

 dozen, $20.00. 



MAIDEN BLUSH — Favorably known every- 

 where for over a century, it attained and holds its 

 popularity chiefly by virtue of its* distinctive and 

 very handsome crimson-cheeked, lemon-yellow fruit. 

 The apples are unique in form, as well as color. 

 They are not high in quality, but are very good for 

 cooking, evaporating, and for the markets. Not a 

 good keeper. 



McINTOSH — Autumn. A most beautiful ap- 

 ple of extra high quality. Deep red in color; of 

 large size and a splendid keeper. 



PARAGON — ■ Fruit medium to large. Skin 

 smooth, yellow, covered with* dull red and indis- 

 tinctly striped with darker red, giving dark red ef- 

 fect. Flesh yellow, firm and juicy. Late winter. 



RED ASTRACHAN — Early summer. Large; 

 deep crimson; flesh white, of a rich acid flavor; very 

 productive. 



RHODE ISLAND GREENING— Large; yellow- 

 ish green; tender, juicy and rich. November to 

 March. 



ROME BEAUTY — Winter. Mostly red with 

 some vellow; excellent keeper; reliable. 



ROXBURY RUSSET — The best known russet 

 and a notable keeper. While the fruits are rough, 

 tough-skinned yellowish-brown, the flesh is known 

 for its peculiar yellow-green color, its tenderness, and 

 its pleasing sprightly flavor. One of the best sorts 

 for cider. 



STAYMAN'S WINESAP — One of the finest 

 apples for fancy trade and always in demand be- 

 cause of its uniformly handsome appearance, de- 

 licious, spicy flavor and juiciness. Of medium size. 

 The skin is attractively deep purplish red. The flesh 

 is fine, crisp and very juicy, making it a great fa- 

 vorite for cider of exceptional flavor. Keeps well from 

 November until late in April. 



SWEET BOUGH — Classed among the best and 

 sweetest summer apples. . The large handsome pale 

 yellow fruits are sometimes blushed. The flesh is 

 firm, crisp, always sweet and very juicy. Matures 

 during late August and earlv September. 



TOLMAN'S SWEET — Winter. Pale yellow, 

 tinged with red. Rich and very sweet. 



TWENTY OUNCE — It continues to hold its 

 own as the East's standard fall apple by virtue of 

 many excellent characteristics. Fruits are extra 

 large, handsomely colored, with stripes and splashes 

 of red on a rich yellow background. While hardly a 

 dessert apple, the fruits are unsurpassed for cooking 

 purposes. 



WEALTHY — Unique in its production of white 

 fleshed, juicy beauties. Though only of medium 

 size, the fruit is exceptionally handsome and smooth; 

 and, because of its attractive deep red color, it al- 

 ways finds ready sales in markets demanding top- 

 notch quality. Season, October to January. 



WILLIAM'S EARLY RED — The fruit is large, 

 bright crimson, of most attractive shape, and of 

 good quality. Among the best early summer apples. 



WINESAP — One of the most widely distributed 

 and best known American apples. Is bright deep 

 red. The coarse yellow flesh, with veins tinged with 

 red, is distinctive, as is, also, the sprightly, subacid 

 flavor. This variety is a good keeper. 



Prices of all varieties of apples (except Lovett) 

 each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00; 100, $60.00.
