BEST EIGHTEEN APPLES ADAPTED TO THIS SECTION, continued 



Yellow Transparent. Ripens in June, keeps 

 well for an early Apple, and is very successful on all 

 markets. The Apples are medium-sized, sweet, 

 juicy; color and shape as shown on the front cover 

 of this book, and of ver^^ good quality. Tree is small, 

 bears younger than almost any other kind, and very 

 regularly. It is unique because it succeeds in the 

 North, and at all elevations here is highly satisfac- 

 tory^ from almost at sea-level to the 4,000 feet 

 elevations. Plant Yellow Transparent. 



York Imperial. The Apples are medium, irregu- 

 lar; yellow, overlaid with red stripes; juicy, fair 

 quality, somewhat coarse. Ripens about middle of 

 October, handles very well, ships well, and has estab- 

 lished markets. Tree is small, vigorous and healthy, 

 often producing profitable crops at seven years old. 

 Impartial as to soil. Its territory lies, however, 

 above 1,000 feet — in Piedmont section. However, 

 there are orchards doing well of this variety on 50 

 feet elevation. 



Red Astrachan. Ripens first of July, and possesses 

 many valuable features. The Apples are medium- 

 sized, yellow with dark red patches, decidedly acid. 

 Good for cooking. Tree makes strong growth. Does 

 not bear till ten years old. Succeeds well from tide- 

 water to 1,500 feet in Virginia. Essentially a low- 

 land Apple, having no superior for market. 



Red June. (Carolina). One of the earliest ripen- 

 ing varieties, and of much value. The Apples are 

 medium-sized, dark red, subacid. Trees bear young, 

 and are especially thrifty on the lighter loams or 

 sand below 2,000 feet. 



Early Harvest. The Apples are small, pale 

 yellow, tender, juicy and subacid, ripening from the 

 middle of June to the middle of August, depending 

 on the elevation. Seems to thrive best at elevations 



of from 800 to 1,600 feet, though does well clear to 

 tide-water. 



Rome Beauty. The Apples are large, round, 

 mottled and striped in different shades of red, of 

 very fine appearance and of excellent flavor. Aluch 

 seen on the markets in April and ^lay. Thrives 

 especially well on sandy soil, and as low as 600 feet; 

 but at 1.500 feet in X'irginia it is finer, while at 2,300 

 feet it is of more than usual value. 



Mammoth Black Twig (Paragon). \'ery long 

 keeper, of great value. Large, round, red, subacid, 

 of excellent quality. Trees vigorous and healthy, 

 young bearers,, yielding freely. Dependable and 

 valuable. Adapted to high slopes and clayey soil. 



Ben Davis. Few varieties are more profitable. 

 The tree is very satisfactory. Apples are handsome 

 and keep well, but are of notorioush' poor quality. 

 Adapted to all sections. Does well from sea-level up. 



Gano. Similar to Ben Davis, but a darker, clearer 

 red. Fine-looking Apples of poor quality. Well- 

 behaved tree. 



Duchess of Oldenburg. A regular and abundant 

 bearer, of considerable value. Ripens in July. Fine 

 seller. Trees natural dwarf growers. Very reliable. 



Waggner. Medium to large; bright yellow, with 

 red shades; quality extra good; very rich, fine keeper, 

 bears young and abundantly. Adapted to the higher 

 elevations and to heavy soils. 



Wealthy. Medium size, round; almost solid red, 

 very good. Tree vigorous and thrifty, doing best on 

 the friable loam on high slopes. Grown here, the 

 Apples keep till late. A great profit-making sort. 



Williams Early Red. Medium size; dark red, 

 splashed with yellow; subacid. \'ery vigorous. 

 Season June, July. Fine market sort, ranking high 

 as a profit producer.

Apple trees are as beautiful as any shade tree, especially in blossom time. With fruit, they are both handsome and useful.
