Carolina Beauty.—An apple of fine quality, which originated in the 
eastern part of this State, and hence may be expected to do well in that 
section. 
Rome Beauty.—A showy, late fall or early winter apple of medium 
quality, but one that will sell on account of its bright color. 
Hoover.—A large, very dark red apple of good quality, ripe in Sep¬ 
tember. 
WINTER APPLES. 
Paragon, or Arkansas Mammoth Black.—An apple of large size and 
showy appearance, which promises to be one of the best for the western 
section of the State. 
Albemarle Pippin.—We only mention this noted apple here to say 
that it succeeds well in the mountain coves of the western part of the 
State, but is worthless elsewhere. Where it succeeds there is no finer 
apple, either for home or market. 
Ben Davis.—This is one of the most showy apples, and the tree is a 
regular bearer everywhere and sells well, but in our opinion it is about as 
poor an apple as can be grown, and we do not advise it for family use. 
It is now being so largely grown that its inferior quality must soon be¬ 
come familiar to all buyers, and we do not advise its planting in large 
numbers, even for market. Its redeeming quality is that it will give 
apples of showy appearance when all others fail. 
McCuller’s Winter.—This promises to be one of the best apples for 
the sandy lands of the eastern part of the State. 
Edwards.—This is a seedling of the Hall, and twice as large as that 
variety and fully as good and as good a keeper. 
Mattamuskeet.—This apple originated in the peaty lands of the coast 
section, and is only suited to that region, where it is one of the best of 
winter apples. 
Nansemond Beauty.—A Virginia apple that does well in this State. 
Season, early winter here. 
Royal Limbertwig.—A great improvement on the old Red Limber- 
twig. A good keeper and a fairly good apple. 
Winesap.—One of the very best winter apples, and one of the most 
salable. There is a new variety known as Stayman's Winesap, which is 
claimed to be a great improvement on the old one. I have not grown 
this, but have grown the old Winesap, and it is as good as any I have 
ever tried. 
York Imperial.—This is one of the best keepers and a showy apple, 
and is taking high rank as a shipping apple. It has been called erron¬ 
eously by some Johnson’s Fine Winter apple, but the foregoing is its 
true name. This and the Winesap are about the best market apples that 
can be grown here. 
Pine Stump.—This is a very fine flavored late fall or early winter 
apple, but is not a late keeper. Its fine quality will sell at any time. 
Van Hoy.—A Forsyth county apple that is highly esteemed by those 
who have grown it, and is considered to be one of the best large winter 
apples. 
Yates.—A small sized Georgia apple, of fine quality and good keeping 
character. It is a good heavy bearer.
