APPLES, 



Rome Beauty. ^^^P^ in good condition till 



— May and June. Large, round; 



mottled and striped in different shades of red; 

 flavor and quality way above the average; 

 appearance and size are its valuable points; 

 always sells and always brings good prices. With 

 an established reputation due to real merit, Rome 

 Beauty is a variety eastern orchardists should 

 plant largely. Good grower; blooms late; bears 

 heavily every year; is adapted to a wide range of 

 soils, elevations and conditions. In Ohio, Penn- 

 sylvania, New York and West Virginia, will make 

 more money than some of the sorts which are 

 now a large part of the total number of trees in 

 commercial orchards. ReHability, due to being 

 frostproof, strong-growing and sure-bearing, make 

 it a favorite with the grower. Fine quahty for use 

 and for handling make it popular with consumers 

 and dealers. When packed in boxes, shows up 

 splendidly. 



Salome. Winter. Pale yellow mottled and blushed 

 with pinkish red. 



Smokehouse. FalL A large Apple of superfine 

 flavor, excellent for eating; yellowish green mot- 

 tled with dufl red and with many russet dots; 

 flesh firm, crisp, juicy and aromatic. Tree large, 

 vigorous and reliably productive. 



Spitzenburg. Winter. In certain sections of the 

 East succeeds splendidly and is standard in the 

 West. Grows very finely when well fed and cared 

 for. Medium-sized, round; dark red almost all 

 over; firm, crisp, subacid, shghtly aromatic. One 

 of the richest flavored of all Apples, and very 

 handsome. Spitzenburg can not be beaten when 

 grown under conditions it prefers. Be sure you 

 are in the right location, then do not hesitate to 

 plant it in any amount.

Scott's Winter. Winter. Pale yeflow, mottled 



and striped with dark red. 

 Smith's Cider. Winter. Yellow, striped with red. 

 Springdale. Winter. Dark red; fine quality. 



Starr. Early fall. A particularly attractive large 



— Apple, with bright, yellowish, smooth skin 



sometimes marked with a faint blush and nu- 

 merous russet dots; flesh yellow, fine, very 

 tender, crisp, juicy, aromatic and of extra-fine 

 quality. Tree is a vigorous grower, comes into 

 bearing when quite young, and yields large crops 

 annuafly. It is an extra-good variety for a filler, 

 and the fruit, coming into market when Apples 

 are eagerly looked for, always [brings good prices. 

 Where it wifl grow properly, it is a most valua- 

 ble variety to grow, and is confidently recom- 

 mended to those with nearby markets.

— '-. commercial sort. Fruit large, round, 



greenish yellow, with red stripes; flesh yellow, 

 crisp, and mildly acid. Tree a regular bearer; 

 reliable and satisfactory in an orchard; grows 

 even and regular; seldom splits or breaks. Has 

 been planted in the East and in California to a 

 considerable extent during the past twenty 

 years, and these trees have given this variety 

 the reputation of being dependable, even while 

 it is not best quality. One of the strongest 

 growers we have, even more so than Northern 

 Spy. Desirable trees to top-work other sorts on. 



Strawberry (Chenango). Summer. Yellow, almost 

 entirely overspread with bright carmine. 



Summer Rambo. Summer and fall. A large, 

 handsome Apple, yellowish green striped and 

 splashed with red, flcsh crisp, tender, very
