Winter Apples, continued 
Greenville. Downing's Winter Maiden Blush, new, from seed of the popular Fall 
Maiden Blush, which it closely resembles in size, color, flavor and productiveness, but 
it is a better grower and keeps all winter. We have been growing it for several years 
and are well pleased with its behavior. 
Grimes' Golden. Tree vigorous, reasonably hardy, upright, spreading, very 
productive; flesh yellow, rich, sprightly subacid, highly prized for its uniform regular 
annual crop. December and later. 
Hlnkley. This is a long keeping winter Apple, as hardy as Duchess; color, mostly 
red splashed with yellow; above the average in size, and of splendid quality; this variety 
is being distributed under various names as follows: Lone Tree Seedling, Ideal and 
Legal Tender; all one and the same thing. It is a worthy variety and should be planted 
extensively. 
Iowa Blush. One of the most valuable sorts for home use. Tree hardy and vigorous; 
a splendid dessert or cooking fruit. Fruit size of Janet and very handsome. Season, 
November to April. 
Isherwood. An Iowa Ironclad, upright, vigorous grower; very productive and 
valuable fruit large and handsome; flesh rich and excellent. Season, late winter. 
Malinda. This is one of the hardiest of American varieties, a great favorite at the 
North. Tree of medium growth, spreading top. Fruit medium to large, subacid flavor.

a strong, free grower and hardy. Just the thing for those who like a real sweet 
Apple.

North Star. This beautiful apple originated in the highlands of Aroostook county, 
Maine. Tree a strong, vigorous grower, entirely hardy and very productive. Fruit 
large and very best quality; color red on yellow, flesh yellow, tender, juicy, excellent 
flavor, core small. Season, December to April. 
Northwest Greening. A good commercial variety, originated in Waupaca county, 
Wisconsin. A large, handsome green Apple, changing to yellow when fully ripe. 
One of the best keepers yet produced. Quality very good. Tree a strong grower 
and very hardy; grows in favor each succeeding year. We strongly recommend this 
variety. 
Paradise Winter Sweet. This is an excellent variety for home use and is a great 
favorite with those who love 
sweet Apples. Tree reason- 
ably hardy, upright, vigorous 
but not a very heavy bearer; 
smooth, yellow, fine appear- 
ing fruit. 
Regan's Red (Black Ben 
Davis). This is no doubt the 
most valuable commercial 
variety of the Ben Davis 
type. It is larger fruit and of 
a much deeper, darker color , 
than the old variety, and I 
some better in quality; for 
hardiness the tree is about the 
Roman Stem. A beau- 
tiful Apple, medium to large; 
rich, pleasant, musky flavor; 
dessert. Tree hardy, a slen- 
der grower, regular bearer 
and reasonably productive. 
An old variety which con- 
tinues to grow in favor; will 
keep all winter; very desir- 
able for home use.
