SEASONS OF HIGH-CLASS 

 APPLES.— While there are many 

 varieties of quality apples — hundreds of 

 them — there are few that are universally 

 known in a large commercial way. Each 

 variety of apple should be marketed in 

 its season, and it should be the endeavor 

 of growers and dealers to clean out one 

 variety in its season to make room for 

 the next kind. 



The Gravenstein is the first fall apple 

 of high-class quality — a splendid apple. 

 This is followed by the Jonathan, and 

 during its season there is nothing better. 

 The next varieties of apple that are ready 

 for consumption are the Spitzenberg and 

 Ortley, which generally are placed on 

 the market in the latter part of Novem- 

 ber, during December and extending into 

 January; then follows the Rome Beauty, 

 and for the latter part of the apple con- 

 suming season — that is, during Decem- 

 ber, January, February, March and 

 April — there are two varieties that for 

 quality and keep are unequaled, the 

 Winesaps and Newtowns. 



In a few years the belief will more 

 than be justified that good prices will 

 prevail for these varieties under normal 

 financial conditions, especially if grow- 

 ers so systematize the selling end of their 

 business as to create a thorough and 

 proper plan for selling and distributing 



the different varieties during the proper 

 time of the year for each.
