Ingram. Winter. 



JONATHAN. Very late keeper which does not 

 attain its full flavor until January. Medium to 

 large; brilliant red; very highly flavored, juicy, fine- 

 grained, tender, mild, subacid. Quality is fine for 

 home use and for marketing in large or small quan- 

 tities. Will keep well without special care, and also 

 stand much handling. Tree long-lived, but comes 

 into bearing very young, and produces big crops 

 every year. Jonathan is often the kind to plant in 

 higher Appalachian country. Southern Pennsyl- 

 vania, Maryland, and all states to the west having 

 similar conditions, produce fine Jonathans. Farther 

 north it ripens a little small but everywhere is of 

 very fine quality. One of the highest-priced Apples 

 on markets. 



Jeffries. Fall, 



King (of Tomkins County). Late keeper under 

 good conditions, but gets mellow and good in 

 October. Very red, with just a tint of yellow. Flesh 

 yellow, crisp and juicy; subacid. One of the largest 

 Apples, and at the same time of the best quality. 

 Tree is a slow grower, subject to disease and break- 

 age, and not a big producer or it would be our lead- 

 ing high-priced Apple. For certain sections King is 

 beyond doubt one of the best Apples which can 

 be planted for making money.

Limbertwig. Fall. 



Longfield. Fall. 



Liveland Raspberry. Summer. A good one. 



Maiden's Blush. Fall. Valuable sort. 



MAMMOTH BLACK TWIG. (Paragon.) Very 

 long keeper of great value. Red; large; round; tender, 

 crisp, subacid; excellent quality in every way. Vig- 

 orous and healthy, young bearer, yields big crops 

 every year Dependable and valuable and would be 

 classed among the best half-dozen. In the East many 

 times will be about the best commercial sort. Seems to 

 prefer the lower elevations, that is, 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 con- 

 ditions, 



Mann. Winter, 



Missouri Pippin. Winter. 



Myrick. Fall, 



NORTHWESTERN GREENING. October to Janu- 

 ary, Round; very large; greenish yellow; fine for eating 

 raw; 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. Extremely hardy, vigorous; bears very 

 young. Especially good in middle Atlantic and New 

 England states, at mid-elevations. Fine packed in boxes. 

 Part ol an orchard in Northwestern Greening will help 

 to sell the whole crop for more money. 



Northern Spy. Winter. Old standby sort from West 

 Virginia north. Large; bright, light red and yellow; juicy, 

 lich, good flavor. Tree very health)-, strong-growing, 

 rugged. Blossoms very late, escaping frosts. Slow coming 

 into bearing, which is the only thing that keeps Spy from 

 ranking with the most important commercial varieties. 



Opalescent. Fall,

Porter. Winter. 



Rambo. Fall, 



Rawle's Janet. Winter. 



Rhode Island Greening. Midwinter, Large; 

 greenish yellow; flattened but nearer round than 

 Pewaukee, Flesh crisp, juicy, quite acid, of very 

 fine flavor and quality. Most ol the money made 

 in the East with winter Apples during the last 

 generation came from Rhode Island Greening, Spy, 

 and Baldwin. These have been standard com- 

 mercial varieties in New York and New England, 

 for a generation, 



ROME BEAUTY. Keeps in good condition till 

 May and June. Large; round; mottled and striped 

 in different shades of red; flavor and quality away 

 above the average; appearance and size are its val- 

 uable points; always sells and always brings good 

 prices. With an established reputation due to real 

 merit, Rome Beauty is a variety eastern orchardists 

 should plant largely. Good grower; blooms late; 

 bears heavily every year; is adapted to a wide 

 range of soils, elevations and conditions. In Ohio, 

 Pennsylvania, New York, and West Virginia, will 

 make more money than some of the sorts which 

 are now a large part of the total number of trees 



Good spraying outfit for small young orchard, and the 

 package for clean, sprayed apples
