Stayman Wine Sap— An improvement of the old wins sap and 
of the same type. Being planted extensively as a commercial 
apple on account of its size, quality and color. Tree hardy and 
a good bearer. 
ONE YEAR APPIE (Pu/ded ard Graft*) 
This is the ideal size tree tor commercial planting. They will 
produce a longer lived, stronger, healthier orchard tree than any 
other, are easier to transplant, because they do not suffer so much 
from handling. They w'ill come into bearing almost if not quite 
as quick, and wnat is the greatest advantage, can-be shaped to 
suit the ideas of the planter and to his particular conditions. Wo 
grow large amounts of this class of stock in all of the standard 
sorts and find that they give better satisfaction than larger trees. 
We do not offer tnem because they are cheap, but because we 
know they are good. We do not recommend them for the home 
orchard as larger stock will usually receive better care under 
those conditions. 
<'RABS 
Every orchard, large or small, should contain a few of these. 
They are very hardy and will succeed in nearly every soil and 
climate. We list a few standard sorts for general planting. 
Shield’s Garb— The hardiest and best we know of. Originated 
in Minnesota. Major Boyd, who planted this variety riear Love- 
land sixteen years ago. says they are the only Crab to plant in 
Colorado. Fine for jellies, in size between the small Siberian 
and Whitney, and while all other sorts in his orchard died with 
blight and winter-killing, no trace of it has ever been seen on the 
Shields. Bears large crops which bring good prices. 
Martha -Moderate bearer, beautiful tree; bright yellow, 
shaded with light red; flavor mild, tart, excellent for cooking;’ 
very fair to eat fresh; of iron-clad hardiness. September. 
Transcendent Crab— Fruit large for its class; golden yellow, 
with a beautiful, rich crimson cheek; when ripe, the red or crim- 
son nearly covers the fruit; flesh creamy yellow, crisp, sub-acid 
pleasant and agreeable. This is trilly a beautiful fruit; tree a 
rapid grower and productive. September. 
Whitney (No. 20) — Large; striped and splashed with red; 
flesh yellow to white, firm and juicy, with a pleasant sub-acid 
flavor; tree very hardy, vigorous anu productive. August. 
Florence— Early, large and fine, striped and mottled crimson 
and yellow. Tree dwarfish grower and young bearer. August. 
PEARS 
Pears thrive best on a rather heavy clay soil that will pro- 
duce a moderate firm growth. The tree is very subject to blight 
In Colorado and will be ruined by it it allowed to grow too rank, 
and is not properly cared for. Do not plant pear in or very near 
your apple orchard, as in case they are attacked by blight they 
would infect the apple trees and cause a lot of trouble if not con- 
siderable loss. 
We have catalogued only a few of the most desirable and 
hardy sorts for the general planter. 
Flemish Beauty — Large, beautiful, juicy, melting, rich and 
fine; strong grower, good bearer, hardy everywhere. September 
and October.
