THE BISMARCK APPLE. 



This most valuable new apple was introduced from New Zealand a few years ago through the a^encv 

 of a celebrated Arboretum in Germany. A prominent French firm boldly asserts that one-year grafts 

 bore as many as eight fruits I That it is an excessive bearer, and not only extremely hardy but alsS the 

 only apple suitable for hot climates. Owing to its beautiful appearance and excellent quality, it is oerhans 

 the most desirable and valuable apple that has ever been introduced. ^ ' 



The color of the fruit is of a beautiful golden-yellow, and in size it is the largest. The trees bear most 

 profusely, and the showy fruits are eagerly sought alter, being one of the earliest to ripen, and keeping well 

 ■ into March. As a dessert apple it has no equal, owing to its distinct and most delicious flavor Itis also 

 found especially suitable for cooking purposes, and, owing to its bearing fruit when only one or'two vears 

 old, It has been grown m large quantities as a pot plant for table and greenhouse decoration. The demand is 

 very great for this apple. If you anticipate ordering, you had better do so early, for the supply is limited.
