FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL NURSERY STOCK 



APPLES, continued 



big producer, or it would be our leading high- 

 priced Apple. For certain sections King 

 is beyond doubt one of the best Apples 

 which can be planted for making money. 



LOWRY. Winter. Dark red fruit, 

 with small sahnon-colored spots. A 

 good keeper and of splendid quahty; 

 flavor only shghtly acid. 



MAroEN BLUSH. Fall. One 

 of the most beautiful, pale lemon 

 with crimson cheek; flesh white, 

 tender and crisp. An old-time fa- 

 vorite which is still one of the most 

 popular Apples. Tree vigorous and 

 good bearer. 



McINTOS HRED. T he 



Apple 



that has made the Bitter Root Val- 

 ley famous. The color is bright, 

 deep red; flesh white, with pinkish 

 tinge; juicy, with sHght acid flavor. 

 The fruit will keep a long time, but 

 is mellow and good to use almost 

 from the time it is picked till the 

 next crop comes. Requires no special 

 storage to be kept like fresh. In New 

 England, New York and Michigan its high 

 quality and attractive appearance put it in 

 the lead. It is extra good for all the higher 

 and colder sections. Trees bear in three and 

 years, and make fine fillers. Quick and spreading 

 grower; long-hved; bears big crops.

 J31yiiV/J\. 1 W 1U» red, the general 



effect being dark 



red; flesh tender, tinged with yellow, crisp, subacid, 

 aromatic, of exceUent quality in every way. Tree 

 is vigorous and healthy, comes into bearing early 

 and yields big crops every year. In the East many 

 times wiU be about the best commercial sort. 

 Seems to prefer the lower elevations, that is, an 

 altitude of 400 to 1,000 feet in Maryland, and 

 higher or lower as you are north or south. A most 

 dependable sort under these conditions, and it can 

 be kept in fine condition until the summer Apples 

 come. (See colored illustration on page 4.) 



MISSOURI PIPPIN. Winter. A rich red with 

 darker red stripes. 



MYRICK. Fall. A large yeUow Apple thickly 

 striped and overlaid with crimson. 



NERO. Here is an Apple possessing great 



■* merit, which has received far too 



little attention from planters of eastern orchards. 

 Deep red, with handsome shading; above medium 

 size; of good quahty and excellent flavor; one of the 

 longest keepers; mellows for use in the fall if kept 

 in a warm place, but if stored is fine in May and 

 June. Apples are graded and packed easily, do not 

 show bruises, and hold up well in storage and on the 

 market. The trees are among the most satisfactory 

 that we have. They are hardy, healthy and big; 

 free from disease and productive. We advise you 

 to learn more about Nero, and to make extensive 

 plantings of it. 



NEWTOWN PIPPIN. Large, round or a Httle 

 lopsided, ribbed and somewhat irregular. Tree a 



Mcintosh Red is one of the best for box-packing on account 

 of size and color 



slow grower and light 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. 



NORTHERN SPY. Z^toSV^^t 



ginia north. Large; bright, hght red and yeflow; 

 flesh juicy, crisp, rich, tender, aromatic, of good 

 flavor. Tree very healthy, strong-growing, rugged. 

 Blossoms very late, escaping frosts. Slow coming 

 into bearing, which is the only thing that keeps the 

 Northern Spy from ranking with the most important 

 commercial varieties. Its large size, handsome ap- 

 pearance and superfine quahty give it first rank for 

 fancy trade, and when weU grown and properly 

 packed, it sells for higher prices than any other 

 winter Apple. It retains its crispness and high flavor 

 well to the end of its season. In the right sections 

 no more valuable Apple can be grown. 



NORTHWESTERN GREENING. Fall. Round; 

 very large; greenish yellow; fine for eating out-of- 

 hand; splendid keeper; ships well. Should not 

 form a main part of a commercial orchard because 

 crops are not so certain every year as with other 

 standard sorts, due to blossoming early. Ex- 

 tremely hardy, vigorous; bears very young. Es- 

 pecially good in middle Atlantic and New England 

 States, at mid-elevations. Part of an orchard m 

 Northwestern Greening will help to seU the whole 

 crop for more money. 



OPALESCENT. Winter. Light in color, shading 

 to very dark crimson.
