HARRISON'S NURSERIES. BERLIN, MD. 



YORK IMPERIAL APPLE. 



York Imperial— The best of all the List. Medium 

 size, oval, angular, skin greenish yellow, nearly cov- 

 ered with bright red, flesh crisp, tender and juicy, 

 aromatic; an enormous bearer, and hangs well on the 

 tree ; it is also a good keeper, retaining its flavor to the 

 last. We cannot say too much in favor of this apple. 

 All things considered, it is scarcely second to any now 

 grown as a profitable orchard variety. Be sure to 

 include this in everv collection. December to Aoril. 



Rhode Island Greening— Large, roundish, oblat^, 

 •kin green, becoming a greenish yellow when rip*. 

 Flesh yellow, fined grained, tender, juicy and rich acid 

 flavor. Succeeds well in the north, but not valuable 

 here, dropping its fruit too early. October to Decem- 

 ber. 



Scott's Winter — From Vermont. One of the best, 

 long keeping, very hardy varieties. Vigorous grower, 

 hardy as Wealthy, color bright red, flesh white with 

 some stains of red; crisp, spicy, and of a brisk acidity. 

 A long keeper, being at its best in April or May. 



Smith's Cider— Rather large, greenish white, 

 etriped with red; flesh tender, juicy with a mild sub- 

 acid flavor; a prodigious bearer and a profitabl* 

 market variety. December to February. ^-.^-._ _^_^ 



Salome — Flesh whitish yellow, half fine; tender, 

 mild, slightly aromatic, very good. January to May. 

 Its hardiness, long keeping, good quality, uniform 

 size, retention of its flavor quite late even in summer, 

 will no doubt make it valuable for the west and north- 

 west. The tree is very hardj'. 



Spitzenburgh Esopus— Medium to large; deep 

 red; flesh yellow, crisp, subacid, high flavor. Tree a 

 light grower in the nursery, but bears and grows well 

 transplanted in rich soil. November to April. 



Swaar — Fruit medium size, yellow, tender, rich 

 and spicy ; one of the best and very productive. No- 

 vember to May. 



Shaclcleford — Originated in Clark County, Mis- 

 souri. The tree is a very vigorous grower and a pro- 

 lific bearer, better even than the Ben Davis ; it flour- 

 ishes on poor land with a clay subsoil; apples are 

 large, highly colored and finely flavored; choice cook- 

 ers and good keepers. December to May. 



Tallman's Sweet— Medium size; pale yellow, 

 tinged with red ; flesh rich and of first quality and a 

 good cooker. December to April.
