WINTER APPLES 
Baldwin — This is without doubt the most 
largely planted and averages more profitable 
than any winter apple for the latitude of 
New England and we can with safety recom- 
mend that this be largely planted. 
Bellflower — Large, yellow, with pale blush, 
very tender and juicy. November to April. 
Ben Davis — Fruit medium to large; skin 
striped and almost covered with red. Al- 
though this variety is not considered by many 
worthy of planting on account of its poor 
quality, it is really one of the most profitable 
winter apples, because it comes to fruiting 
quickly, is almost an annual bearer of hand- 
some fruit that keeps well in common stor- 
age and will bear a greater amount of rough 
handling than most varieties. 
Bismarck — Tree short, stocky growth, with 
thick, healthy foliage, hardy and productive. 
Fruit large, handsome, yellow, shaded and 
covered with red. Late fall and early winter. 
Black Ben Davis — A bright red late winter 
apple of the Ben Davis type. It is more 
showy than Ben Davis as the red is solid like 
the Jonathan. It is also of better quality 
than that variety. 
Boiken — Large; waxy, bright pale yellow 
with pinkish red blush; sub-acid; good mar- 
ket sort. Nov. to Feb. 
Canada Red — This variety when well 
grown is one of the best apples of its season 
for dessert use. Does best on fertile soils of 
a gravelly or sandy nature. Tree- is only a 
moderate grower. The fruit is medium in 
Hubbardson Nonesuch 
size. Attractive bright red and of the best 
quality. 
Delicious — No new variety has ever so 
quickly gained popularity in so many differ- 
ent apple sections of our country. Fruit 
large, nearly covered with brilliant dark red, 
flesh fine grained, crisp and melting, juicy 
with a delightful aroma; of very highest 
quality. A splendid keeper and shipper. Tree 
one of the hardiest. November to April. 
Ensee — Is an improved Rome Beauty, being 
of better color and having better and more 
healthy foliage.
