Crab Apples 
These hardy and beautiful trees should be among the first things planted. They 
can be depended upon to stand where other apples are not hardy enough, and pro- 
duce an abundance of good fruit. Many of them make splendid eating apples and 
are a great delight to children. Prices the same as for apples. 
TruiiNceudcnt — Large; yellow and red; very 
good. Tree hardy, but blights badly. 
Whitney IVo. 20 — Large to very large, 
greenish and red, very juicy and good. 
A splendid variety for eating and cook- 
ing. Tree very vigorous, hardy and 
handsome. Universally liked. 
Wild Red Crab — A hybrid of the wild crab 
and cultivated apple. Fruit is as large 
aa Whitney, red nearly all over, and 
keeps the year round. It has the aroma 
and flavor of the wild crab which makes 
;t just the thing for people who like the 
sauce of the wild crab, as it is so much 
larger. The tree is far the most vigorous 
of any apple tree we ever grew, is very 
easy to transplant, makes a beautiful 
symmetrical tree, and is a regular and 
extremely heavy bearer. 
Briar Sweet — Medium; yellowish with red 
blush; very sweet and good. August to 
September. Slightly bitter if not fully 
ripe. 
Florence — Large; yellow and red; very 
good for all purposes. Very hardy and 
productive. 
Gideon — Large: yellow and white; very 
good. One of the best of the new varie- 
ties.
