SUMMER VARIETIES

type, ripening in August.

of good quality and very productive. Middle 
and last of August. 
*Red Astrachan. Large, bright red, excellent 
for cooking, productive. Very early. 
*Yellow Transparent. Good size, slightly 
acid; bears very young. First of August. 
FALL VARIETIES 
Cortland. A seedling of McIntosh, closely 
resembling it in appearance and flavor but 
ripening a little later and keeping several weeks 
longer. 
*Fall Pippin. Very large, yellow; fine for 
eating or cooking. October and November. 
*McIntosh Red. Medium to large; bright 
red and very handsome; slightly acid and of the 
finest quality. More in demand than any other 
apple in this section. September to December. 
Red Gravenstein. Large, acid, fine quality, 
and productive. Identical with the well-known 
Gravenstein, except for the color, which is a 
brighter red and very handsome. September 
and October. 
*Wealthy. Medium size, red streaked; good 
quality, somewhat tart; bears very young and 
produces enormous crops. September and Oc¬ 
tober. 
WINTER VARIETIES 
^Baldwin. Large, red, acid, very productive; 
one of the best known apples for home use or 
market. November to April. 
*Delicious. Large, oblong shape, streaked 
red and yellow, of mild flavor. One of the best 
winter apples for eating, but not sour enough to 
make a good cooking apple. 
Gilliflower (Sheepnose). The old-fashioned 
variety; dark red, oblong shape; has a peculiar 
flavor that no other apple possesses. Mid¬ 
winter. 
*King. Very large, red striped, good quality, 
and a more regular bearer than many kinds. 
November to February. 
Orleans. Of the Delicious type but said to 
be larger and a better keeper. Flavor mild 
but could hardly be classed as a sweet apple. 
Red Spy. Combines the large size and fine 
quality of that old stand-by, Northern Spy, 
with a skin of solid, bright red color, which is 
far more attractive than the old Spy. Is slow 
in coming into bearing. 
*R. I. Greening. Large, light green, excel¬ 
lent for eating or cooking, productive. Mid¬ 
winter. 
Roxbury Russet. Medium size, fine grained, 
sub-acid. A late keeper and one of the finest 
eating apples for late winter and spring.

some. October and November.

tive; the best in quality. September.
