CARLOUGH. 



For great beauty of fruit, long keeping qual- 

 ities and fine growth of tree, this is decidedly 

 without a rival among apples. It is especially 

 valuable, however, as a long- keeping, sweet 

 apple and is by all odds tbe best of its kind. 

 The originator, for whom it was named, con- 

 sidered its special good qualities, late keeping 

 and great bearing every year, and stated that, 

 wilh him, it hung on the tree till November 

 aLd kept until June and July. The fruit is of 

 medium size, ovate, smooth and uniform in 

 size and shape. 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 vig- 

 orous and beautiful grower, with stems as 

 straight as bamboo poles, smooth, with a heavy growth of large foliage ; also an * nor mous, 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 properties, 

 growth, productiveness and bearing every year we arranged for its introduction, and have the satisfac- 

 tion of introducing the best long-keeping, handsome sweet apple yet known, in which are combined 

 many valuable qualities long desired.
