Rome Beauty 
ROME BEAUTY. Yellow, mottled and striped in varying 
shades of red. The flavor and the quality of the fruit is way 
above the average, and its appearance and size are extremely 
valuable points. In almost any market Rome Beauty sells 
well and brings good profits. Trees are strong growers and 
yield freely nearly every year. 
BLOSSOMS PRODUCED LATE 
Rome Beauty is one of the varieties that produces its bloom 
very late in the blooming season—oftentimes insuring a crop of 
fruit when many earlier blooming kinds have been caught by 
a late frost. There are only a few of the leading commercial 
varieties which bloom as late as Rome Beauty. 
ONE OF THE LONGEST KEEPERS IN COLD STORAGE 
This apple is especially valuable because it can be kept in 
storage in perfect condition until quite late in the spring— 
ranking in this particular with Ben Davis, Gano and Winesap. 
Rome Beauty nearly always brings top prices because the 
grower can keep his fruit in storage until the market is in con- 
dition to move it at a profit.
