BLAXTAYMAN 
The wonderful dark red color of the new BLAX¬ 
TAYMAN makes it a great improvement over Stay- 
man, and it has also partly overcome the serious 
fault of Stayman to crack. In ordinary years, I don’t 
believe you will have any trouble with Blaxtayman 
cracking. -•- 
RED DUCHESS 
Duchess has always been one of the hardiest, most 
productive and profitable summer varieties. The new 
Red Duchess is meeting with great favor with the 
commercial grower, because it colors better and 
earlier.

The History of the Blackjort 
I N the year 1927 on a common Jonathan tree in 
the Thomas Slack orchard near Wenatchee, Wash¬ 
ington, there was discovered what is known as a 
"sport” limb or mutation, bearing deep red Jonathans 
that color much earlier in the season. 
The tree stands among many other common Jona¬ 
than apple trees. The apples on this particular "sport 
limb” color deep red weeks earlier than ordinary 
Jonathans on the same tree and on adjoining Jona¬ 
than trees in the same orchard. 
Following discovery of this remarkable early-col¬ 
oring, deep red Jonathan, extensive tests were con¬ 
ducted by us. Now we have successive generations on 
top-grafted trees, and on young trees bearing fruit 
identical with that on the original parent "sport” 
limb. 
Reddens Before It Ripens 
Blackjon is identical with the common Jonathan 
in flavor, quality and productiveness. It is different 
from common Jonathan in that it attains an intense, 
brilliant red color from two to three weeks earlier. 
While common Jonathans are still green and in the 
"C” grade and "Combination pack” class—Blackjon 
has an abundance of color, making a large percent¬ 
age of the fruit Extra Fancy Grade. Practically every 
Blackjon on the tree is colored a beautiful deep 
cherry-red. 
More Profit for Growers 
The production of this new early-coloring Black¬ 
jon means that this wonderful new strain of Jona¬ 
than is going to reach the early markets, in prime 
condition, well colored and Extra Fancy Grade—and 
at a profitable price to the grower. It will supply the 
apple-consuming public something they crave—an 
apple that is "easy to look at”—and one of the finest 
from the standpoint of flavor and quality.
