Jonathan. Medium, roundish; yellow, nearly covered with red; fine 
grained, tender, and finely flavored. November to April. Should not 
be planted in extreme North. 
Maeoun. Just as Early McIntosh advances the season for the McIntosh 
type of Apple, Maeoun produces a late crop of these red-skinned, 
white-fleshed, richly flavored, aromatic Apples. The season of 
Maeoun is from one to two months later than that of McIntosh with 
Cortland midway between. In shape, the fruits of Maeoun are 
similar to those of McIntosh. The color is darker red, less striped, 
and with a heavier bloom. The flesh is much the same in color, 
texture, flavor and aroma. The trees bear regularly and heavily. 
This promises to be an Apple of great merit, coming as it does, long 
after all McIntosh-like Apples are out of season.

strong branches capable 
of bearing large crops 
of fruit. The Apple is 
striped and marked with 
bright and dark red.

Orleans. Is of the Delicious type, 
but the fruits are more attractive 
in appearance and run larger in 
size. It comes in season with 
Delicious but keeps in common

that characterizes Delicious—an 
improved Delicious.
