WALTER PEASE. 
This is one of the best Apples we know. It much resembles the Baldwin in color and productiveness. Size 
very large. The fruit is very showy and attractive, and as a table Apple, we think, has no superior. Fruit 
nearly round ; color a beautiful deep red on sunny side, with splashes and stripes of red on yellow ground on 
other side ; where fully exposed to sun, nearly all red. Ripens in September, October and November ; has been 
kept until past midwinter. Core very small; flesh white, very fine-grained; quality best, mild, juicy, slightly 
subacid, with a rich, sweet, aromatic flavor. Tree very productive, fruiting heavily ; strong and vigorous grower. 
A aeliciouB table Apple for either market or home use. First-class, 50 cents each, $5 per dozen.
