YOEK IMPERIAL— 3^ Size. 

 YORK I3IPERIA"L— The best of all the list— 3Iedium size. oval, angular, skin greenish 

 yellow, nearly covered with bright red, flesh crisp, tender and juicj-. aromatic ; an enormous 



'bearer and hangs well on the tree : it is also a good 

 ^keeper, retaining its flavor to the last. We cannot 

 /saj' too much in favor of this apple. All things con- 

 sidered, it is scarcely second to any now grown as a 

 profitable orchard variety. Be sure to include this 

 in every collection. December to April. 



AVINESAP— We can hardly find Avords sufiicient- 

 ^ly strong to express the high opinion we have of this 

 Vfruit, possessing as it does, a combination of so many 

 -^excellent qualities. For cider it has but fe^v equals; 

 for table it stands among the best ; for keeping it is justly esteemed, and for bearing it scarce! j- 

 has a rival. Considering all this we must earnestly recommend it to the consideration of all 

 orchardists. Fruit medium size, rather oblong. '"-'^^'■^^■"^■^^^'■^-'^^■^"^^^■-^^"~-^''^^'
