MISSING LINK APPLE. 

 A Wonderful Keeper. 



There is and always has been a great need of an 

 apple that is pre-eminently a long keeper and at 

 the same time attractive and of good quality. 

 Apples from cold storage are not popular; they 

 lose flavor and soon rot when exposed to the outer 

 air. Ben Davis and its class are too coarse in flesh 

 and poor in flavor to give satisfaction. This apple, 

 which has been named Missing Link, possesses the 

 desired qualifications in a remarkable degree and 



by its extraordinary long-keeping properties links 

 one year with another. The fruit is large, oblong, 

 flattened at ends, rich, golden yellow with crimson 

 cheek; and so smooth and beautiful as to appear to 

 be made of wax; flesh yellowish, tender, juicy, 

 aromatic; improving with age. Will keep twelve 

 months in perfect condition in any ordinary cellar; 

 keeping in good condition longer, better and with 

 less care than potatoes. The tree is a rapid, vigor- 

 ous grower of symmetrical form; an early and 

 regular bearer, fruiting freely at four years from 

 planting. Its branches are so well shouldered that 

 it does not break down or split in wind storms, 

 An apple that will keep so long in good condition 

 and of such good quality, with a vigorous tree of 

 such early bearing propensity, is surely the variety 

 so much desired. At each of the annual meetings 

 for the years 1897, 1898, and 1899, the Illinois State 

 Horticultural Society awarded First Premium to 

 the Missing Link as the. best new apple; a body 

 composed of the most progressive horticulturists 

 and fruit growers of the State. First class, each, 

 50c.; doz., $5.00.
