Ruby Gem. 

 We offer these two grand Ap- 

 ples with the utmost confidence 

 that they will give great satisfac- 

 tion to all who grow them. Did 

 we not know that they are simply 

 wonderful in their beauty and 

 other valuable properties, we 

 would not offer even one of them* 

 much less two new varieties, be- 

 cause there are so many new ap- 

 ples being put forward. Either 

 one of these is easily the hand- 

 somest and most valuable of the 

 Glowing Coal. Autumn Apples did not the other 



exist ; but it is difficult to tell which of the two Is the finer, all things considered, although they are en- 

 tirely distinct from each other. Both are very fine growing varieties, with heavy abundant foliage, free 

 from blight or other disease: an important fact which should not be overlooked. 



\ GLOWING COAL. large size and high quality, commanding for it 



Is remarkable in three important respects, viz., quick sales at high prices, no matter bo* well the 



large size, great beauty and superb quality. Fruit 

 is enormous in size, ordinary specimens weighing 

 16 to 20 ounces, one half of each specimen bright, 

 glossy red, and the other half an intense scarlet. 

 As they hang on the tree they may be seen for a 

 long distance, appearing among the dense foliage 

 like glowing coals. The flesh Is of extra high 

 quality, being of a rich yellow color, smooth, re- 

 fined texture and of a high, rich, sprightly sub-acid 

 flavor; fully equalling the Hubbardston Nonesuch 

 or a well-ripened Newtown Pippin. The tree, like 

 the Kieffer Pear, is an early and heavy bearer as 

 well as a strong grower. Season at Monmouth 

 early in September, It is sure to become a most 

 profitable variety for market, its great beauty, 



market may be supplied: and for the home orchard 

 it should be included in all collections, no matter 

 how small. 



RUBY GEM. 



As Its name implies it is an exceedingly beauti- 

 ful apple also ; is not so large as Glowing Coal. Is 

 of good, medium size, in form as perfect almost as 

 though moulded in wax and of the most brilliant 

 red imaginable all over. Flesh, snowy white, 

 tender, crisp, juicy, mild, sub-acid and simply de- 

 licious. Tree even a stronger glower than Glow- 

 ing Coal, with abundant foliage, and an enormous 

 and early bearer. Exceedingly valuable either lor 



market or familv use. Season early Autumn.
