WINTER 
Northern Spy. Large, roundish-conical, 
often flattened, slightly ribbed; hand¬ 
somely striped with red; flavor rich, 
aromatic, mild sub-acid, fine. Keeps 
through winter and late into spring. To 
afford fine fruit, tree must receive good 
cultivation and attention. A market fruit 
of highest quality. 
Grimes’ Golden. An apple of the high¬ 
est quality. It is one of the fancy dessert 
apples and ranks with Delicious and 
Jonathan on the markets. Medium to 
large; bright yellow with pink cheek; 
flesh fine grained, juicy, with a very 
pleasing spicy flavor. Like Jonathan it 
is equally adapted to almost all culinary 
uses os well as for eating out the hand. 
For pies, marmalade, sauce and dump¬ 
lings, it is one of the best. It has hardly 
enough acid for the best jelly apple. The 
tree is hardy, grows upright and is quite 
disease and insect resistant. Season of 
fruit, November to January. 
Baldwin. Season, December to March. 
The great commercial late winter keeper 
of the Eastern states. Tree a vigorous 
open grower, upright in tendency and 
very productive where hardy. Comes 
slow into bearing, but produces abundant¬ 
ly when mature. Fruit large, rounded, 
deep red; flesh rich and juicy. 
Rome Beauty. Large, roundish, very 
slightly conical; mostly covered with 
bright red on pale yellow ground; flesh 
tender, not fine grained, juicy, of good 
quality. Ripens early in winter. The 
large size and beautiful appearance of 
this Ohio apple render it popluar as an 
orchard variety. Attains highest perfec¬ 
tion on medium soils. 
Jonathan. This variety is probably 
better known to average consumers of 
dessert apples than any other variety. It 
is recognized on all markets of the coun¬ 
try as one of the best among the few 
leaders of high quality eating apples. 
The fact that its qualities and flavor are 
also superior and outstanding when used 
for culinary purposes adds to its popu¬ 
larity. The fruit is medium size, red and 
beautiful. The tree is slightly slow of 
growth when young, but grows stronger 
as it attains age. It bears young and 
abundantly. It is quite hardy and thrives 
in all of the Central West except in the 
drier portions of the northwest part. 
Season November to February. 
Rhode Island Greening. Season, De¬ 
cember to March. Fruit large and hand¬ 
some, smooth, dark green overspread

acid, but highly flavored and excellent.

states as a dessert apple and for cooking; 
tree vigorous, spreading; heavy, constant 
bearer after reaching maturity.

vember to December. 
Winesap. Medium size, dark red, juicy,

leading commercial variety on all mar¬ 
kets, as well as a very popular home 
apple in the West. Should be planted 
liberally both in commercial and home 
orchards. Is a high class dessert apple; 
also good to very good for sauce, pies, 
jelly and marmalade. December to April.
