OLD-FASHIONED HORSE 
country. One of the surest bearers. Too 
much cannot be said in praise of this apple. 
This variety has long been a favorite in 
the West, but it has come into favor in the 
Eastern States. It is grown with great suc- 
cess in New York State. In the orchard of 
William Locke, San Juan County, New 
Mexico, Rome Beauty trees were overloaded 
with fruit while nearly all other varieties 
were a failure. H. C. Livingston, San Ber- 
nardino County, California, reports that 
"Rome Beauty" stood the temperature at 26 
while in bloom and bore a fine crop of fruit. 
Most other varieties were killed. 
Hon. G. B. Brackett, U. S. Pomologist, 
says: "I consider it one of the very best 
apples now in cultivation." 
Ohio Experiment Station recommends 
it highly for Ohio. 
"Rome Beauty is grown here with great 
success." — Geneva Experiment Station, 
Geneva, N. Y. 
Grimes' Golden— Flesh juicy, spicy, tender 
and rich. An old favorite. It seems that 
it will never lose its popularity. Is a trans- 
parent, golden yellow apple; medium to 
large, cylindrical in shape. Tree is ex- 
tremely hardy, a vigorous grower; a hardy, 
late bloomer, and comes into bearing very 
young. Nearly all commercial orchardists 
say it is one of the best all-round apples. 
Brings fancy prices on all markets, and is 
a fine cooking and dessert apple. Should 
be planted everywhere. 
Jonathan — Brilliant red; excellent quality 
and highly flavored; tender, juicy, spicy 
and rich; profitable for market and a splen- 
did family sort. Tree is long lived, pro- 
ductive and an early bearer. A seedling 
of Spitzenburg. A good money-making 
sort. 
Old-Fashioned Horse — Large, pale greenish 
yellow, shaded with red; tender, juicy, sub- 
acid. Tree vigorous and very hardy; up- 
right grower; bears early and abundantly. 
An old apple, famous for its fitness for 
cider, pies, drying and all culinary purposes. 
When allowed to mellow to deepest gold, 
it is a delicious eating apple. We do not 
know of any other nursery that grows this 
old-fashioned Horse Apple. There are 
several firms that grow Horse, but the 
Horse cannot be compared to the Grand 
Old Apple we have. Our scions were cut 
from an old tree that was over 100 years
