WOLF RIVER. Summer. An exceedingly large and handsome Apple, which 

 has supplanted Alexander in manv of the large commercial orchards in the 

 West. Skin is bright yellow, mottled and blushed with deep red and marked 

 with conspicuous splashes and broad stripes of bright carmine; flesh is 

 slightly tinged with yellow, firm, tender, juicy, aromatic and of good quality. 

 It keeps remarkably well in ordinary storage, and with cold storage its season 

 is practically unlimited.

THE ONE APPLE THAT 

 WILL GROW ANYWHERE 



This variety is one of the few kinds that will grow and bear well in the South 

 as well as in the North. It stands with equal vigor the summers of Georgia and 

 the severe Canadian winters. By many growers Yellow Transparent is con- 

 sidered the best of all extra-early Apples, and comes into the market when the 

 demand for summer Apples is extra strong; consequently it always brings the 

 best prices. For nearby markets, to which it can be shipped in fancy baskets 

 or boxes, it is one of the most valuable Apples in our list. It bruises readily and 

 must be handled with extra care. The fruit is medium to large in size, with 

 cream and yellow skin and white flesh. The flavor is superb, slightly acid. 

 The trees are hardy, rather dwarf growers, begin to bear when voung, and pro- 

 duce nearly every season; seem to prefer thin soils, like hillsides and uplands. 



YORK IMPERIAL. Winter. Medium sized, round, irregular, greenish 

 yellow overlaid with bright red stripes; flesh tender, firm, crisp, juicy. Often 

 exported and sold. It has the advantage of mellowing in time for use soon 

 after picking if not stored to prevent it. Tree is a vigorous grower, strong and 

 healthy, and an unusually heavy bearer.
