appearance, but is much better than the 
Early Harvest. This apple has been tested 
in almost every State in the Union, and has 
been found productive, hardy, vigorous 
and desirable in every respect. Its quality 
is superior, and this, with its great beauty 
and productiveness, makes it a favorite 
summer apple the world over. Russian 
variety large, pale, waxen, transparent 
yellow, crisp and fragrant. Tree very 
hardy, a dwarf grower, and succeeds best 
on thin soil. 
York Imperial (Johnson's Fine Winter) — 
Large and beautiful red winter apple, orig- 
inating in Pennsylvania, where it is a great 
success. It comes into bearing early and 
succeeds over a wide extent of country, 
bearing regular and heavy crops. It is 
medium white, shaded with crimson in the 
sun; juicy, crisp, mild subacid. Tree 
moderately vigorous and productive. No- 
vember to February. Its skin is yellow, 
covered with bright red and striped. It is 
a good shipper and keeper, bringing the 
highest price. The foliage and fruit are 
free from scab. The peculiarity of this 
Great Apple is that though beautiful in 
form, it is a little lopsided. Its bright red 
color sells the fruit, and it is this bright red 
feature that will attract any buyer that 
visits your orchard. While this apple is 
the leading variety for Pennsylvania, it is 
very hardy and suited to any part of the 
country. Remember that this apple has 
been tested everywhere — in the East, 
West and South and does well everywhere.
