Rome Beauty 



ROME BEAUTY. Yellow, mottled and striped in varying 

 shades of red. The flavor and the quality of the fruit is way 

 above the average, and its appearance and size are extremely 

 valuable points. In almost any market Rome Beauty sells 

 well and brings good profits. Trees are strong growers and 

 yield freely nearly every year. 



BLOSSOMS PRODUCED LATE 



Rome Beauty is one of the varieties that produces its bloom 

 very late in the blooming season — oftentimes insuring a crop of 

 fruit when many earlier blooming kinds have been caught by 

 a late frost. There are only a few of the leading commercial 

 varieties which bloom as late as Rome Beauty. 



ONE OF THE LONGEST KEEPERS IN COLD STORAGE 



This apple is especially valuable because it can be kept in 

 storage in perfect condition until quite late in the spring — - 

 ranking in this particular with Ben Davis, Gano and Winesap. 

 Rome Beauty nearly always brings top prices because the 

 groAver can keep his fruit in storage until the market is in con- 

 dition to move it at a profit.
