"REGANS RED (Black Ben DavU)— 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 some better 'n OU^Hty; { ° T , 
hardiness the tree is about the same, and its chief value for thrs -latitude will 
be derived through top working it upon a hardy stock. Our trees are two- 
year heads on nardy four-year stocks, and they are good values at our prices. 
REPKA MALENKA — Of Russian origin. Tree extremely hardy, of up- 
right growth- very prolific fruit of medium size, and one of the best keepers;

winter, very desirable for home use. 
SALOME. — Flesh whitish yellow, fine, tender, mild, slightly aromatic, 
good; its hardiness, long keeping, good quality, uniform size, retention of Its 
flavor quite late even into summer, will no doubt make it valuable for the 
West and Northwest. This variety is gradually but surely making Its own 
way, and we regard it as one of tne most valuable In our list.

varieties yet planted in this section; fruit medium to large, usual. y highly

February. 
• •♦♦TOBIAS RAUCH. — A very promising seedling, originated here in Linn 
county. It has some of the characteristics of the Hyslop crab, which we be- 
lieve "to have been one of its parents. Tree apparently as hardy as a crab, 
reasonably young bearer; fruit large and as dark colored as a Hyslop crab; 
flesh partaking somewhat of the nature of the above crab, but more juicy and 
of pleasant flavor. Season, March to June. Worthy of trial. 
WINDSOR. — Originated in Wisconsin, and grown in Iowa for eighteen 
years. Tree a free grower, smooth, well-formed, free of blight and entirely 
hardy. Apples large, red. sub-acid; quality the best. Bears young and regu-

WINTER QUEEN — A new variety from Canada, highly recommended as 
an apple of excellent quality and a late keeper; fruit large, red; tree vigorous, 
upright in growth. 
WINTER SNOW — Here is an apple that for quality, flavor and texture of 
flesh is exactly like the common Fameuse. fruit about the same size, but not 
near so highly colored, and will keep until spring; this is a great acquisition 
to lovers of the Snow apple I have been grafting of this variety (sport it 
might properly be called) from an old tree propagated by Prof. Budd many 
years ago, which is still thrifty and fruitful.
