YELLOW TRANSPARENT APPLE. 
APPLES. 
The first fruit, both in importance and general culture, is the apple. Its period, un- 
like that of other fruits, extends nearly or quite through the year. By planting judicious 
selections of summer, autumn and winter sorts, a constant succession can be easily ob- 
tained of this indispensable fruit for family use. There is no farm crop which, on the 
average, will produce one-fourth as much income per acre as will a good apple orchard. 
Prices are as follows, except where noted : 
First-class, 5 to 7 feet

YELLOW TRANSPARENT. Charles Downing’s description: “A Russian va- 
riety which promises to be valuable for a cool climate as an early fruit of good quality; 
ripening before the Tetofsky, with more tender and delicate flesh, but does not continue 
long in use. It is said that the tree so far has proved very hardy, moderately vigorous, 
upright, an early and good bearer annually. Fruit medium, roundish oblate, slightly 
conical; skin pale yellow when fully mature; flesh white, half fine, tender, juicy, sprightly, 
sub-acid; quality good to very good.” First-class, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $12 per 100. '
