We are offering these varieties to our customers at practically no advance in prices. 
We want you to get a start of these wonderful varieties. Last spring we sold out of these 
varieties early in March and returned hundreds of dollars to our customers in April and 
May after our supply was 
hausted. 
This year we have about the 
same quantity and we have not 
advanced the price. To those 
whose money was returned last 
year, we urge you to let us hear 
from you early. 
Common Delicious. 
RED DELICIOUS 
Red Delicious. 
The sensational New Red Delicious which we are offering to the trade is a marvelous 
improvement over the common Delicious in that it is a much deeper red color without 
stripes, even in the heavily shaded portions of the tree, where the foliage is very thick, the 
color is outstanding, where common Delicious would be striped red and partly green. This 
tree is typically Delicious as to leaf, bark, and general shape, and the fruit is in every partic¬ 
ular a high quality Delicious excepting color, which is an outstanding solid red—the most 
beautiful Delicious we have ever seen. Although this new Delicious colors 2 to 3 weeks 
earlier than the common variety, it does not ripen any sooner and can be picked at the same 
time. Many growers have been known to leave their Delicious crop on the trees too long in 
the hope that a deeper red might be attained and the fancy quality of the apples thus be im¬ 
proved; however, the result has been that they become over-ripe, mealy, and reach the mar¬ 
ket in poor condition. Such is not the case with the New Red Delicious, which can be picked 
while hardly ripe and be assured of a full coloring which will put them in the extra fancy 
grade and bring top prices. This also makes better keeping qualities for storage. The New 
Red Delicious should be included in every fruit order at the following low prices: 
2-year, No. 1, 4 to 6 ft., 50c each; $4.00 per 10; $35.00 per 100, pre¬ 
paid at 5c per tree additional. 
^ NEW RED CORTLAND 
New Red Cortland, originated and developed by the New York Experimental Station, 
is a cross between Ben Davis and McIntosh. The good qualities of both parents have been 
combined and the weak ones eliminated. 
From Ben Davis, Cortland has inherited 
the quality of clinging to the tree, and 
the ability to withstand handling; 
from the McIntosh it has taken 
that fine flavor for which this 
variety is noted. 
The tree is a fine grower 
and comes into bearing 
very early. We have seen 
2-year-olds producing two 
or three app'es per tree. 
This New Red Cortland 
ripens in the late fall and 
the fruit is large, round to 
conical in shape. Color a 
beautiful dark red with 
purplish bloom. Flesh is 
fine grained, crisp and 
juicy, white and firm. The 
trees are large, hardy, 
healthy, and sure croppers. 
2-year, No. 1, 4 to 
6 ft., 50c each; 
$4.00 per 10; 
$35.00 per 100, pre¬ 
paid at 5c per tree 
New Red Cortland. additional.
