Yellow Transparent 
Yellow Transparent 
Ripens extremely early. Skin clear Yellow. Flesh white. 
The flavor, while slightly acid, is excellent. Size medium to large 
This apple is a favorite sort for all growers who are able to 
dispose of the crop in nearby markets. It bruises readily and 
must be handled very carefully. For that reason it should not be 
used if your market necessitates a long carry unless you use 
refrigerator cars in which case if they are carefully handled, 
they will carry alright. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT FIRST ON THE MARKET 
as it ripens early in July, making excellent eating apples, and 
selling without difficulty. There is almost no competition at this 
time; Yellow Transparent leads the field, and is eagerly sought 
for by those people who find their “apple appetites” impatient. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT TREES BEAR EARLY 
and produce nearly every season. They are rather dwarf grow- 
ers, and may be planted a little closer than most other varieties. 
A fine soil is not necessary, or even desirable, as the trees seem 
to grow best on rather poor ground, such as hillsides and uplands. 
ADAPTABILITY IS AN ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGE 
Tt thrives just as well in the South as it does in the North. 
Most varieties are particularly well adapted to a certain region, 
and, while they may be grown elsewhere, are only at their best 
when grown in the prescribed region. Yellow Transparent is 
extremely successful in Georgia, and does equally well in Canada,
