WINTER APPLES— continued 
Fallawater — Very large, handsome, yellow 
with red cheek, mild, subacid. Tree a strong 
grower, young and abundant bearer. 
Gano — Very hardy. A half-brother to Ben 
Davis, though of better quality. Very richly 
colored, uniform in size; keeps until March. 
Gilliflower (Old time Sheep's Nose) — Medi- 
um to large; yellowish, almost completely 
covered with red. Dessert apple, very dis- 
tinct in conical form and flavor. Oct. to Jan. 
Golden Russet — Medium dull russet, juicy 
and high flavored. Hardy and good bearer. 
Grimes' Golden — An apple of the highest 
quality, medium to large size. Eich golden 
yellow. 
Hubbardston Nonsuch— Large, striped yel- 
low with red. Good grower and bearer. 
Jacob's Sweet — A large, handsome, round- 
ish apple; yellow with red cheek. One of 
the best sweet apples. 
Jonathan — Perfectly hardy and is produc- 
tive in all soils. Fruit of medium size, very 
regularly formed. Skin thin and smooth; yel- 
low ground almost covered with lively red 
stripes deepening into dark red in the sun. 
October to January. 
King — A fine apple, of largest size and best 
quality; red, showy. October to January. 
There is a good demand for this variety dur- 
ing October and November, as it is ripe and 
suitable for market earlier than Baldwin. 
Lady — A strikingly beautiful little apple 
especially suitable for decorative use and for 
dessert and often sells for high prices. A 
warm gravelly or sandy loam seems to de- 
velop the beautiful color and delicate high 
flavor of this variety. Tree is a moderate 
grower and is rather tardy in coming into 
bearing. Must be carefully sprayed in order 
to have the fruit of value. The fruit is in 
demand about the holiday season. 
Lowry — A dark red winter apple, grown 
largely in Virginia. It is a good keeper and 
of splendid quality.. 
Northern Spy 
Stayman Winesap 
Northern Spy — Large, striped with red, 
flesh crisp, juicy and high flavored. There is 
a ready sale for this variety and it usually 
calls for a higher price than most varieties. 
Tree is vigorous and hardy; very desirable 
stock for top working other varieties upon. 
Every orchard should have some trees of this 
variety. 
Newtown Pippin — Large, round or a little 
lopsided, ribbed and somewhat irregular. Tree 
a slow grower and light bearer in poor soils, 
but right soil and care will do wonders with 
it in almost any section of the East or West, 
north of Tennessee. A world-bearer where it 
will thrive, but no good at ail in soils and 
under conditions not adapted to its exacting 
requirements. 
Olympia — This is a high colored strain 
of Baldwin from the state of Washington. 
Just whether it will retain that characteristic 
in the East has not been demonstrated. 
Paragon — A large, dark red apple of the 
Winesap type, better adapted to the apple 
growing regions of the south than New Eng- 
land. 
Peck's Pleasant — Large, pale yellow, very 
rich, with flavor like a Newtown Pippin. 
Pewaukee — Tree spreading, round topped 
and vigorous. Fruit large, yellowish green, 
striped and shaded with dull red, overlaid 
with a bluish bloom. Flesh yellowish, rather 
coarse grained, firm, juicy; flavor subacid. 
Keeps until March. 
Red Gravenstein — Banks. A bud variation 
of the Oravenstein and practically identical 
to that variety except it is of a bright red 
color which makes it much more valuable as 
a market variety than Gravenstein. 
Roxbury Russet — Popular on account of 
productiveness and long keeping.
