JOSEPH H. BLACK, SON & CO. 
McIntosh. -This great favorite in the market is a fall apple in central and south¬ 
ern Jersey. Its color is purplish red overlaying the yellow green ground. Qual¬ 
ity the very highest; size medium to quite large; tree of moderate spread. 
Lobo.— This is a seedling of McIntosh for which we have had many calls. We 
are sure from what we have heard of it that anyone contemplating McIntosh 
should use ia part of their planting of this new and improved type of McIntosh. 
Delicious. —Most people consider th’s the best of all eating apples. It is well and 
. favorably known and therefore sells well. Almost or entirely red, large conical. 
Moderate spread, on any soil. 
Richards Red Delicious. —The uneven 
coloring of Delicious on heavy or 
clay soils is well known. 
We offer Richards Red Deli¬ 
cious after thorough tests as iden¬ 
tical in every particular to Deli¬ 
cious except in coloring. 
The color is good on all soils and 
much better than Delicious every¬ 
where. , 
Reddest Delicious. —This is the vari¬ 
ety sent out under a copyrighted 
name, while there seemed scarce¬ 
ly any difference between this and 
Richards yet we are growing and 
offering both as superior to the 
original Delicious for market pur¬ 
poses. 
Orleans. —This is a seedling of De¬ 
licious that pleased us in every 
way. Its size and coloring was bet¬ 
ter than Delicious, the shape was Richards Red Delicious 
identical and the surprise came in eating. It proved to be more juicy and 
snappy with a distinctly pleasant flavor prevailing over the Delicious charac¬ 
teristics, it is not a sweet apple, being slightly subacid. 
Baldwin. —This apple 'n Jersey is usually classed as a fall or early winter apple. 
It bears young and if properly thinned both in trimming and fruit will bear a 
fine crop of very large apples. Fruit large to very large, red all over and good 
quality; tree spreading any soil. 
Jonathan. —Winter, fair keeper, beautiful solid red, medium to large ,very highest 
in quality and appearance. Tree rather moderate spread. Bears young any soil. 
Smokehouse. —Large, shaded with bright red, firm, juicy and crisp. Tree large, 
spreading on any soil. 
Rome Beauty. — As an early winter 
apple for New Jersey this has 
proven to be the most profitable. 
Its fine appearance and size always 
attracts the buyer. Color is bright 
red over a beautiful yellow ground, 
large to very large size; quality 
good, both for cooking and eating. 
Tree large, spreading ,all soils, but 
gets its best color on light or grav¬ 
elly ground. 
Red Rome.—(Coxes). —Red, all over, 
large, good keeper, tree identical 
to Rome Beauty. Quality equal to 
and by some considered superior 
to Rome Beauty. We have seen 
two distinct types of Red Rome. 
One was too small to be desirable, 
the other one known as Coxes Red 
Rome is, we think, a better variety 
than Rome Beauty for the o r~ 
chard.
