APPLES — NEW VARIETIES 
Bismarck 
This most valuable new Apple, introduced from New Zealand a few years ago, through the agency of a cele- 
brated arboretum in Germany, promises to take the place of almost every other Apple grown in the country and 
abroad. It has already been fully tested in Russia, Germany, France, England, United States and Canada ; and 
wherever grown it has proved a most astonishing revelation, not only in high quality, but also in hardiness, and 
especially in earliness of fruiting. The color of the fruit is a beautiful golden yellow, and its size is the largest. 
The tree bears most profusely, and the showy fruits are eager. y sought after, always bringing the highest market 
price. Bismarck tree bears at an earlier age than any other Apple, and the fruit keeps well into March. As a 
dessert Apple it has no equal, owing to its distinct and most delicious flavor. It is also found especially suitable 
for cooking purposes. It bears fruit when only one or two years old. and it has been grown in large quantities as 
a pot-plant for table and greenhouse decoration. Large, 40 cts. each, $4 per doz.; medium, 30 cts. each, $3 per 
doz.; small, postpaid, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz.

thorough testing in comparison with other best early market Apples. It always brings 25 to 60 per cent more 
than any other Apple in market, and sells readily at $1 per half-bushel basket. The tree is a good, healthy
