APPLES 



RED ASTRACHAN — A DELIGHTFUL SUMMER 

 APPLE, AS GOOD TO EAT AS TO SEE! 



GRIME'S GOLDEN— Of just medium size, but 

 very delicious; matures in early winter. Because of 

 its extraordinary quality, this apple does not keep 

 well — it's eaten as fast as it can be gotten hold of! 



JONATHAN — Late winter. Round, of medium 

 size, fine grained and of acid flavor. 



KING — Has few superiors 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 higher average than most other stand- 

 ard apples. The fruits are a beautiful red on a yel 

 low background, uniformly large and symmetri 

 cal. Though the flesh is rather coarse, it is, 

 crisp, tender, juicy, aromatic, and richly 

 flavored. King requires fertile, well- 

 drained soil and sheltered situations 

 to do its best. Winter. 



MAIDEN BLUSH— Favorably known 

 everywhere for over a century, it at- 

 tained 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. Late fall. 



McINTOSH— Autumn. A most 

 beautiful apple of extra high quality. 

 Deep red in color; a splendid keeper. 



TWENTY OUNCE. (See illus- 

 tration, top of page 29.) — 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. Unsurpassed for cooking. 



Prices of all sorts (except as noted other- 

 wise), $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen; $50.00 

 per 100.

 fect. Flesh yellow, firm

 ING — Large; yellowish green; 

 tender, juicy and rich. Novem- 

 ber to March . 



ROME BEAUTY — Winter. 

 Mostly red with some yellow; 

 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 tender- 

 ness, and its pleasing flavor. One of the 

 best cider sorts. (See illustration below.) 

 STAYMAN'S WINESAP. (See illustration 

 of a fine tree on page 29) — One of the finest apples 

 for fancy trade and always in demand. Of deli- 

 cious, spicy flavor and juiciness. A great favorite 

 for cider of exceptional flavor. November until 

 late April. 



SWEET BOUGH— The large handsome pale 

 yellow fruits are sometimes blushed. The flesh is 

 firm, crisp, always sweet and very juicy. Late 

 August and early September.

 EVER GREW!
