THE LOVETT APPLE 



(See illustrations on this page) 



After ten years of critical tests under widely varying conditions of soil, season and climate, the Lovett 

 Apple has come through with flying colors as the most prolific summer apple in cultivation. With the 

 quality of abundant bearing (see branch above) it combines an exceedingly attractive appearance. Un- 

 biased critics have pronounced it one of the most beautiful apples in cultivation. 



While the above two characteristics would be sufficient to make it popular, it possesses, in addition, a 

 texture of flesh and aromatic flavor that make it one of the finest quality apples imaginable. Superior in 

 many instances to old Mcintosh, it ripens the early part of August, producing a great abundance of ex- 

 ceedingly handsome apples above the average in size. 



We have known and grown the majority of standard varieties of apples over a period of many years, 

 and on the basis of thorough trials, intensive studies and unbiased judgment, we feel safe in saying that 

 the Lovett Apple will become as popular a summer fruit as Baldwin and Delicious are, among the winter 

 varieties today. Price each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



GRAVENSTEIN — Large; yellow, nearly cov- 

 ered with dull red. September and October. 



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 standard 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 requires fertile, well- 

 drained soil and sheltered situations, to 

 do its best. Winter. 



MAIDEN Bt-USH — Favorably 

 known everywhere 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. Late fall. 



McINTOSH — Autumn. A. most 

 beautiful apple of extra high quality. 

 Deep red in color; a splendid keeper. 



Prices of all sorts (except as noted 

 otherwise), $1.00 each; $10.00 per 

 dozen; $50.00 per 100. 



ENGLISH CODDLING — Fruit large to very 

 large; form round and flat; color greenish yellow, 

 with duM red cheek where exposed to sun; good 

 quality, rather acid. One of best cooking and mar- 

 ket apples of its season. Ripens from mid-August 

 to September when the demand for large green ap- 

 ples is greatest. 



the Luvtrr a«*ce — Perhaps the greatest 



AND MOST PROLIFIC SUMMER SORT
