The First fruit, both in importance and general culture, is the apple. Its 

 period unlike that of other fruits, it extends nearij or quite through the year. 

 By planting judicious selections of summer, autamn and winter sorts a con- 

 stant succession of this indispensible fruit can be easily obtained for family use. 

 There is no farm crop which on an average will produce one fourth as much 

 income per acre as will a good apple orch. rd. 



Starr— The original tree of this most valuable apple was found on the 

 grounds of Judge John Moore White, of Woodbury, N. J., which property af- 

 terwards came in possession of Mrs. Starr. The tree is a good grower, comes to 

 fruiting young, and produced annually abundant crops. Fruit is Tery large, 11 

 to 12 inches around, showy, being pale green, frequently with handsome blush 

 on sunny side, very early, being marketable first week in July and will con- 

 tinue in geed condition until September, being an excellent shipper for so early 

 an apple, having carried to California in good condition. Pleasant sub-acid, a 

 very superior cooking and very good eating apple. 1 year, 50 cents each. 



Haines — Medium to large size, red, fine quality, tree a nice upright grower 

 and good bearer. 



Summer King — A magnificent apple. Size above medium to large; beau- 

 tifully striped and covered with two shades of bright red, flesh tender and of 

 excellent quality. Season August. Tree a fine vigorous upright grower and a 

 heavy bearer. A very valuable and desirable variety, for either market or 

 home use.
