ish yellow; skin smooth and takes a very high

der, juicy, sprightly, subacid, good. November. 
WINTER VARIETIES 
Akin. (Akin Red.) Size and color very much 
like Jonathan, but keeps three months longer; 
quality even better than that most excellent ap- 
ple. 
Illinois Horticultural Society; “The original 
Akin tree is 7 feet 3 inches in circumference, 
about 40 feet high, and over 60 years old; a reg- 
ular bearer; keeps until April or May. Of great 
beauty and excellent quality; fine-grained, crisp, 
spicy and mild. Its fine quality and beauty make 
it worthy of general trial, for the time will come 
when such fruit will be in demand. So beauti- 
fully colored as to be almost irresistible to the eye, 
and of equally fine flavor. It is of good quality, 
medium size, red color, and a late keeper. Tree 
productive. ” 
Antonovka. One of the true ironclads. Of 
Russian origin and perfectly hardy, withstanding 
our coldest winters. Fruit large, slightly oblong, 
and when fully ripe of a light golden color. Good 
keeper. 
Arkansas Beauty. Large, beautiful crimson; 
flavor rich, subacid; fine-grained. Free and good 
grower and enormous bearer. Nov. to March. 
Arkansas Black. Large, round or slightly coni- 
cal; regular, smooth, glossy yellow where not 
covered with deep crimson, almost black; flesh 
very yellow, firm, fine-grained, juicy; flavor sub- 
acid, pleasant, rich. 
Babbitt. A strong, large grower; wood hard 
and tough; heavy bearer. Fruit one-third larger 
than Baldwin; brighter red; flesh fine-grained, 
juicy, crisp, rich and of a peculiarly fine acid; 
use — baking, stewing, pies or jelly, for each and 
all of which it is simply the best; in cooking it 
literally melts. Ready to cook as soon as grown, 
but it is so acid that few like to eat it uncooked 
until the latter part of the season, when it is a 
favorite eating apple. 
Baldwin. Large, roundish; deep bright red; 
juicy, crisp, subacid, good flavor. Tree vigorous, 
upright and very productive of fair, handsome 
fruit; one of the best and most popular winter 
apples. Originated on farm of John Ball, Wil- 
mington, Mass., about the middle of the 18th 
century. January to April.
