Grimes 



THE WINTER- 

 EVENING APPLE 



Grimes, or Grimes Golden, as it is familiarly known, is rated as a fall Apple. 

 Along the 40th parallel (the latitude of Philadelphia) this variety will be ready 

 to use in September. A little later it improves in flavor and will keep to late 

 January or early February without losing its quality. 



Few Apples Are More Profitable Commercially 



The quality of Grimes is too good for any but the very best trade. The 

 grower who picks and packs this Apple with care can't help getting good prices. 

 It is a family Apple, and ought to be packed in boxes, rather than barrels, to 

 attract the highest trade. No better Apple is grown for table use or for cooking. 

 The fruit is tender, rich and spicy in flavor, slightly acid, with a deliciously 

 appetizing "apple" odor. 



Grimes Makes a Splendid Filler 



The trees start to bearwhen quite young and will make money for you before 

 the permanent trees begin to produce. The blossoms come late in spring, usu- 

 ally ercape late frosts, and set fruit nearly every year. We believe Grimes to 

 be one of the finest commercial Apples and eaually good for the family orchard 

 We back this belief by planting thousands of the trees in our own orchards on 

 the Peninsula. Grimes is hardy, healthy, strong in growth, and unusually 

 productive.
