^ ■- — the 40th parallel) 



as a fall Apple. Good in September, but later on it 

 is even better, and the best markets usually have 

 Grimes' Golden during December and Januaiy and 

 even February*. Keeps without losing any of its 

 crispness or rich flavor. It is mediiun-sized. golden 

 yellow, tender, rich, aromatic, spicy like a peach, 

 subacid, dehcious. Few Apples are more profitable 

 commercially. Quahty is too good for any but the 

 best trade, and will justify packing with all care in 

 boxes. Tree is very hardy and productive, and one 

 of the best fiUers, as it comes into bearing verj^ 

 early. Blossoms come late in the spring; frost 

 seldom catches them.
