 fume. Fruit large size, perfect in form, golden yel- 

 low, and beautifully shaded and marbled with bright 

 crimson red. Flesh lemon yellow, fine grained, sub- 

 acid, rich, aromatic flavor, and of the highest quality.

 and on account of its great hardiness, will thrive in 

 any climate. Its early bearing is something simply 

 wondeiful; generally producing a fine crop of fruit 

 the second year. Foliage large and free from blight 

 or mildew. A valuable market variety. November

 stocky growth, with thick, healthy foliage, hardy 

 and productive; is doing well in nearly all places.

 with red; tender, sub-acid, quality not best, good for 

 both dessert and cooking. Its most remarkable char- 

 acteristic is its early fruiting habit; one year grafts

 trees seldom fail to produce fruit. Trees on dwarf 

 stocks grown i n pots or tubs make beautiful decorative 

 specimens. Two-year old single-stem trees about 18 

 inches high produce fine specimens. I,ate fall and 

 early winter. Originator's description. 25c. each;

 ness, handsome appearance, its excellent culinary 

 qualities and the vigor of the tree, it is worthy of gen- 

 eral cultivation. One of the best early apples to plant 



for profit, ripening with Early Harvest. Above the 

 medium size, skin pale yellow; flesh white, tender, 

 juicy and of excellent quality, tree is a vigorous and 

 upright grower, gives general satisfaction, does well 

 everywhere and ripens among the earliest. June.

 Dear Sirs : — The trees arrived on the 18th in good shape. Some 

 of them were in bloom, and it is so late I am afraid we will lose 

 Some of them. 



Yours truly,
