“RENOWN ” is the newest and most recent Apple raised 
by Mr. CHARLES ROSS, of Newbury. 
No man now living has done so much good work in the way of raising 
new Apples, as Mr. Ross. The variety Rival sent out by ourselves a few 
seasons ago, now in the front rank of choice sorts, was raised by Mr. Ross. 
Amongst other high class varieties from the same raiser, ar e— Charles Ross, 
Encore, The Houblon, Hector Macdonald , Ruddy, and Paroquet. 
Immediately after “ Renown ” received recognition from the R.H.S., we com- 
municated with Mr. Ross and purchased the entire stock. 
We have great pleasure in offering this new variety to our patrons, as 
we believe it is one that has a great future before it. A glance at the parent- 
age of “ Renown” is a strong recommendation for this new Apple. As a 
grower, this variety leaves nothing to be desired ; it is of excellent habit and 
is a regular and heavy cropper. 
The fruit, as will be seen from the illustration on opposite page, is of 
good shape, medium in size, and of handsome appearance. The flesh, in the 
words of “ The Gardeners' Chronic’ e,” is “ solid, crisp, juicy, and of pleasing 
flavour”; in fact, to put it briefly, it is a fruit that possesses every good point 
either for cooking or dessert purposes.” Higher praise could not be given. 
We strongly recommend all our patrons, whether they be private or 
market growers, to give “Renown” a trial. In order that this maybe done, 
we have propagated a considarable stock, and are offering at a popular 
price. 
MAIDENS ONLY, 3/6 each ; 36/- per doz. 
We would advise all our friends to order early, as after our present stock 
is exhausted, no more plants will be obtainable until Autumn, 1910.
