Greening's Apples—Continued 
WEALTHY (Nye #2). The parent tree of this strain maintains 
a high standard for the variety. It began to bear at an early age 
and produced good annual crops of large, uniform apples with nor¬ 
mal color for Wealthy. In Wealthy orchards, undesirable varia¬ 
tions affecting production, uniformity of shape and size and also 
undercolored fruits are very common. Fruit large size, roundish. 
Skin is smooth, marked with dark red. Flesh, white, tender, juicy 
and sub-acid. This is one of the finest varieties of its season and 
is especially good for commercial purposes as it comes into bearing 
early. Very profitable as a market apple on account of its hand¬ 
some appearance and good flavor. Season, November to January. 
WINTER BANANA. This variety was introduced by us in 1890 
and won highest honorable mention, American Pomological Society 
Fruit Exhibition at Philadelphia. Fruit large to very large. Skin 
smooth, moderately thick, waxy, bright pale yellow, often with a 
blush, which in well colored specimens deepens to a dark pinkish 
red. Dots numerous, whitish and submerged or with fine russet 
effect. Prevailing effect yellow with a pretty contrasting blush. 
Flesh whitish tinged with pale yellow, moderately firm, a little 
coarse, somewhat crisp, tender, juicy, mild, sub-acid, distinctly aro¬ 
matic. Good to very good. Tree a vigorous grower and a remarka¬ 
bly early bearer, yielding moderate to heavy crops. One of the most 
beautiful and delicious apples that has ever been developed. It is 
in a class distinctly its own. Season, mid-November to May. 
WOLF RIVER (Wark #4). This selection represents a high aver¬ 
age with heavy production of very large apples, one of the largest 
apples grown. Smooth yellowish white, splashed with bright red. 
Flesh yellowish white, coarse, tender. Flavor medium. Exceeding¬ 
ly valuable as a baking apple. Grown especially for the restaurant 
market. Tree very vigorous and in this selection we offer trees 
capable of heavy production whereas the ordinary Wolf Rivers are 
considered only fairly productive. Season, November to January. 
CRAB APPLES 
Crab apples succeed equally well in all sections and are very valu¬ 
able for preserving, jelly and cider. A valuable market fruit. 
HYSLOP (Smith # 1). This parent tree combines in one the 
money-making qualities of the variety with improved color; vigor¬ 
ous, early bearing, heavy annual production, large size fruit and a 
solid red color type. Only twenty feet away from this parent tree 
stands a tree of the striped type. Nine years records of the parent 
tree show a production of 59% bushels; the fruit averaging 1% 
ounces. These figures need no further comment as to the superiority 
of this high type Super-Selected Strain of Hyslop Crab. Season, 
September to October. 
TRANSCENDENT (Hunt). This is a high type selection of a 
popular variety and fully up to the original standards. Fruit 
medium to large. Color, brownish yellow with blushes of carmine. 
Flesh firm and crisp, yellowish, fine grained, very' juicy, acid. Tree 
is a hardy and vigorous grower. Comes into bearing early. Im¬ 
mensely productive. Season, September to October.

“Some few days ago I received sixty Super-Selected apple trees 
of you people and I wish to state that they were fine ones without 
any blemishes. I only wish I had dealt with your firm entirely. I 
have an experienced nursery man to do my work and he told me 
that yours were the only clean trees I had, and he did not discard 
a one. Fair dealing deserves repeated orders.”
