Leading Varieties, —l^ or the convenience of our customers who may not be entirely familiar with 

 the best and most profitable varieties, we have printed the names of such sorts in heavy type. In mak- 

 ing your selection it will pay you to choose from among those varieties. 



Albemarle Pippin, or Yellow Newtown. Winter. 



Large, round or a Httle lopsided, ribbed and some- 

 what irregular. Tree a slow grower and hght 

 bearer in poor soils, but right soil and care will do 

 wonders with it in almost any section of the East 

 or West, north of Tennessee. A world-beater 

 where it will thrive, but no good at all in soils 

 and under conditions not adapted to its exacting 

 requirements. 



Alexander. Fall. A Russian Apple of very large 

 size, with beautifully striped or stained red skin 

 and white, crisp flesh, tender, juicy and subacid. 

 Tree is large and vigorous, bearing heavy crops. 



American Golden Russet. Fall. Sometimes 

 called Sheep-Nose. Medium-sized, round; green- 

 ish russet or bronze. 



Ba.l(lwin. Winter. A good late keeper when 

 M grown in the North. Standard in 



the section from New England to West Virginia. 

 Fruit large, round, splendid red all over; rich 

 subacid; splendid shipper. Quick and large 

 grower; yields big crops, but does not bear young. 

 We have fine Baldwin trees. We recommend it 

 highly for northern Pennsylvania, New York, all 

 of New England and similar country. Good care 

 will make Baldwin trees bear when six years old, 

 if proper cross-pollination with other varieties is 

 secured. (See illustration, p. 9 . )
