WINTER APPLES. 



YORK IMPERIAL— I Size. 



York Imperial— The best of all the List— Me- 

 dium size, oval, angular, skin greenish, yellow, nearly 

 covered with bright red, flesh crisp, tender and juicy, 

 aromatic; an enormous bearer and hangs well on the 

 tree; it is also a good keeper, retaining its flavor to 

 the last. We cannot say too much in favor of this 

 apple. All things considered, it is scarcely second to 

 any now grown as a profitable orchard variety. Be 

 sure to include this in every collection. December to 

 ApriL 



American Golden Russet — (Bullock's Pippin or 

 Sheep Nose). Small, roundish, ovate; skin dull yel- 

 low, with a very thin russet; flesh yellowish, very 

 tender, juicy, with a mild, rich, spicy flavor; very pro- 

 ductive. October to January. 



Baldwin — One of the best and most popular apples 

 in cultivation on account of its.flavor and good ship- 

 ping qualities Fruit is large, roundish, narrowing a 

 little to the eye, the skin deep red. while the flesh is 

 white, rich, crisp, juicy, highly flavored but somewhat 

 sub-acid, and is a handsome fruit. Tree is a vigorous 

 grower and bears abundantly. Succeeds well in west- 

 ern Maryland and the mountains of Virginia, but 

 drops it fruit a little too early in and near the tide- 

 water section. October to February. 



Bellflower— Large, yellow, with pale blush, very 

 tender and juicy. An old favorite which has always 

 been popular, good keeper. November to April. 



Coffelet Beauty— A seediing from Ben Davis, 

 which the tree resembles in growth. It possesses all 

 the good qualities of Ben Davis with none of the bad. 

 A good grower in nursery and orchard. An abundant 

 and regular bearer. Fruit hangs well on the tree. 

 Above medium size, resembling the Limber Twig in 

 form, but larger. Beautifully striped and splashed 

 with red, on a yellow ground. 



Cooper's Market — Medium size, conical; shaded 

 and striped with red on yellow ground; flesh white, 

 firm, tender, rather acid. Valuable for marketing. 

 November to March. 



Dominie — Large size, flat, striped with red; flesh 

 white, juicy, firm, mild, sub-acid, sprightly; pleasant 

 flavor, keeps till midwinter; a rapid grower and pro- 

 digious bearer. This variety is well deserving of ex- 

 tensive cultivation. 



Grimes' Golden — Medium to large size, rich golden 

 yellow, flesh same color, -juicy, crisp, tender and of 

 highest quality. Best of yellow winter apples and a 

 good seller. Should be gathered before turning yel- 

 low and put in a cool place, and will often keep until 

 February. For canning purposes it nearly equals the 

 pear. Tree is hardy and vigorous, and an early and 

 abundant bearer. December to February. 



Gano — A seedling of the Ben Davis, but is much 

 superior to that variety, having all of its good qualities 

 to a high degree. It is more brilliantly colored, more
