HARRISON'S NURSERIES. BERLIN, MD. 



HENRY AND HIS PONY. 



Henry Long Harrison, eight years old, wants an acre of land in York Imperial Apples. 



Missouri Pippin— Large, oblong, bright red with 

 darker red stripes ; very handsome, fair quality, a good 

 grower and an early and immense bearer, valuable for 

 market. December to April. 



Milam — Small— Red— Slender and Tall Grower. — 

 Not so much in demand as of old, other better and 

 larger apples have superseded it; still it is quite pro- 

 ductive in some sections. Keeps well. 



Mann— An upright grower, forming a round head, 

 fruit medium to large, roundish, oblate, skin deep 

 yellow when fully ripe, with sometimes a shade of 

 brownish red where exposed, flesh yellowish, juicy, 

 mild, plea c ant, sub-acid, good to very good; vigorous. 

 April and May. 



Northern Spy— Large, striped, flesh white, mild 

 and tender and slightly sub-acid, with a rich, delicious 

 flavor. Tree is a good grower, but we cannot advise 

 its planting south of Pennsylvania, except in moun- 

 tainous regions. November to February. 



Northwestern Greening— A Wisconsin seedling 

 of great value; has stood the most trying tests, and 

 found to be equal to Wealthv in point of hardiness, 

 but superior in fruit and keeping qualities; fruit large, 

 smooth, greenish yellow; flesh fine grained, juicy, 

 firm, good quality, thoroughly tested. January to 

 April. 



Paradise Winter Sweet— Large, regularly formed, 

 roundish; skin fair and smooth, dull green when 

 picked, with a brownish blush; flesh white, fine 

 grained juicy, sweet, sprightly andgood; productive; 

 an excellent aprle and well worthy a place in the 

 orchard. November to February. 



Pewaukee — Medium to large, roundish, somewhat 

 flattened, bright yellow, streaked and spotted with 

 dark red; flesh white, tender, juicy and sub-add; a 

 seedling from Duchess, and it inherits its quality of 

 extreme hardiness, w T hich makes it a most reliable 

 kind in cold climates. December and January. 



Newtown Pippin — One of the very best apples as 

 to quality; tree a light grower while young; very 

 juicy, crisp and highly delicious flavor; fine keeper. 

 Does not succeed in all sections. December to May. 



Nero— A seedling of the Romanite, which it excels 

 in every way. A valuable winter apple, long keeper, 

 large and beautiful ; none better for Middle and South- 

 ern States. December to April. 



Peck's Pleasant — Medium to large; waxen yel- 

 low, with blush cheek; resembles the Newtown Pip- 

 pin; flesh yellow, fine grained, crisp and brittle. We 

 regard it as the best flavored apple. December to 

 March. 



Pound Sweet — A late fall and early winter apple, 

 highly prized for eating out of hand or for baking, 

 known by some as Lyman's Pumpkin Sweet. Fruit 

 of large size, greenish yellow, uniformly fair, smooth, 

 and marketable. 



Rambo — Size medium, oblate, skin smooth, yellow- 

 ish white in the shade, streaked and marbled with pale 

 yellow and red in the sun and spreckled with large, 

 rough do^s; very tender, rich, mild, sub-acid, very 

 good. Tree vigorous tender in some localities. 



Rome Beauty— Large, yellow, striped and mixed 

 with light red; fle^h yellow, juicy, crisp and sub-acid. 

 Valuable for market on account of its productiveness, 

 size and beauty, as well as for its certain bearing. 

 November to January. 



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 tothe 

 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. Re sure to 

 include this in every corection. December to April.
