Delicious 
Winter. Brilliant dark red, shading to yellow at the blossom end. 
Flesh white and tender. Large size 
An apple of comparatively recent introduction which has liter- 
ally taken apple growers by storm. Taking up its good points in 
comparison with those of the apples previously recognized as 
standard, you can see that Delicious has taken a great step ip 
advance of the rest. 
You may question any one of the virtues which a good apple 
should have and find Delicious as good, if not better, than any 
other variety which has been sold almost on the merit of that 
virtue alone. 
IS IT HARDY? 
You can take our advice upon this point and rest assured that 
you'll have no trouble with winter-killing when you plant Deli- 
cious. It will grow in as cold regions as any of them. 
WHAT ABOUT SIZE AND TASTE? 
Size is all that anyone could desire, as it usually runs from 
large to extra large. The large size and peculiar shape make ita 
very fast seller. 
Taste will be found on a par with its other points of advantage. 
The flavor is rich, slightly subacid, with an individuality which 
makes the palate call for more. You'll have no trouble with 
“repeat sales” for this variety. 
SHIP WELL? 
Delicious ships without bruising. Its large size makes it easy 
to pack attractively, and the uniformity of size guarantees a good 
appearance. Your discounts for spoiled fruit will be low indeed. 
elicious is not only a commercial apple, but it is every bit as 
well adapted to the home grounds. Whether you wish to plant a 
thousand or if you have room for only one tree, Delicious will 
give full value.
