The Great Four of 
New Red Northern Spy. 
the Red Baldwin. It now has a color equal to the Jonathan. 
Jonathan. It has no bad faults and it comes into bearing at six years of age. 
For the past twenty years, 
nurserymen over the country 
have been making endeavors 
to obtain apples that are red 
in color, that come into bear' 
ing early, and that still retain 
the quality of some of the 
old-fashioned apples of our 
Grandfather’s orchard. The 
greatest advancement in apple 
culture in the past ten years 
has been made in the 4 varie¬ 
ties illustrated on this and the 
opposite page, namely Red 
Baldwin, Red Delicious, and 
the New Red Cortland. Color 
is the best selling attribute in 
any apple. No greater apple 
ever grew than the Old North¬ 
ern Spy but it had two faults; 
it took years for it to come 
into bearing and it was too 
pale a green to be attractive 
on the market. The new Red 
Northern Spy comes into 
bearing in four to six years 
and has a rich red color equal 
to any Jonathan or Black Ben 
Davis. The same is true with 
It is a larger Apple than the 
NEW RED NORTHERN SPY 
Imagine all the splendid qualities of the genuine Northern Spy, its unusual and delicious 
flavor, its great cooking and baking quality, its hardiness and wonderful productiveness, and 
add to these outstanding features, an apple of solid deep red color, borne on a tree which 
comes into bearing in six years instead of having to wait eighteen, and you get some idea 
of the immense good that nurserymen have wrought in perfecting the New Northern Spy. 
We offer these in 2-year, No. 1, 4- to 6-ft. trees, within the reach of all 
our customers, for 50c each; $4.00 per 10; $35.00 per 100, prepaid 
at an additional cost of 5c per tree. 
RED BALDWIN 
This famous Apple for many years was the standard of the apple industry due to its 
immense yielding qualities and the firmness of the 
fruit itself. For the past 20 years, nurserymen have 
been experimenting, graft¬ 
ing continuously from 
trees that excel in red col¬ 
or, until now we have a 
strain, the fruit of which 
is as red as the Jonathan 
and almost double in size. 
These trees also come into 
bearing in six to eight 
years. How often we have 
heard orchardists say that 
if they could only plant 
Baldwin, Northern Spy, 
King of Johnson county 
and some of the good old 
apples of the early days 
and hope to live to see 
them come into bearing, 
how pleased they would 
be. Their wish can now be 
realized in these newer, 
redder types of these old 
varieties. We urge our cus¬ 
tomers to plant some Red 
Baldwin. We offer 
them in 2-yr., No. 1, 
4 to 6 ft., each, 50c; 
$4.00 per 10; 
$35.00 per 100, pre¬ 
paid at 5c per tree 
additional. Red Baldwin.
