THE NEW ALL-RED APPLES 
*RICHARD DELICIOUS. (Trade Mark Reg.) 
“The most beautiful apple in existence”. The 
Richard Delicious originated as a bud sport of 
the common Delicious and was selected after 
thorough testing, from nearly a dozen separate 
strains of “Red Delicious”. It possesses all the 
fine qualities of the common Delicious, and close¬ 
ly resembles that variety except that it colors a 
deep solid-red (no stripes) two weeks earlier. 
It is also an excellent pollinizer for Gravenstein 
and other varieties. 
BLACKJON. (Trade Mark Reg.) The Blackjon 
is a new strain of Jonathan_identical in size, 
shape and productiveness with common Jonathan 
but colors a dark, even red, weeks earlier. The 
introduction of Blackjon gives to the grower a 
much needed solid-red early fall apple. Plant 
it wherever Jonathan succeeds. A good pollinizer.
