JOSEPH BLACK, SON & CO. 
APPLE TREES 
There were no apple seedlings for the spring planting of 1934, hence there 
are no one-year buds and a consequent shortage of two-year-olds. There was a 
short crop of seedlings in 1935, therefore only a limited supply of one-year grafts. 
Prices:—Except Reddest Delicious, Yellow Delicious, Red Rome and Black’s 
Staymans, all of which are 5c per tree extra.

NAMED IN ORDER OF RIPENING 
Starr. —Early, profitable as a market apple, is large to very large, a splendid 
cooking apple. Is a good keeper and shipper; color greenish yellow, sometimes 
showing a red cheek; medium grower and does well on all soils. 
English Codling. —A very large green apple that the pie makers are using almost 
exclusively during the two weeks that its season covers. We recommend it as 
a market variety that you can plant anywhere even on low ground where no 
other variety will thrive, spreading, low branched. 
Ohio Nonpareil.— Fruit is enormous in size, one-half of each specimen bright red, 
very high quality. 
Red Codling or 
Monmouth Beauty.— Ripens just ahead of Wealthy, fruit large to very large; color 
is beautiful, red stripings and splashings over a yellow ground. (One-year 
grafts only.) 
Twenty Ounce. —This variety does not ripen until a later season but usually is 
picked while still green at this time or earlier. Is sold as a pie apple just as 
soon as it reaches a good size as its quality for cooking is better than later when 
it becomes a red apple and less juicy. Tree is upright grower on all soils. 
Wealthy. —Fall, almost entirely covered with red. Skin very smooth, flesh white, 
large, fine quality for any purpose. Tree upright and is an early and heavy 
bearer on all soils but gives finest color on lighter soils. (In one-year grafts 
only.) 
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. 
Quality the very highest, size medium to quite large; tree of moderate spread. 
(In one-year grafts only.) 
Delicious.— Most people consider this 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. (One-year grafts only.) 
Reddest Delicious.— The reddest and best of all strains of the many Delicious 
sports and the original variety should never be planted when these are available. 
(Only a few two-year-olds @ 5c per tree extra but a good supply of one-year 
grafts.) 
Macoun. —We advise this variety in preference to McIntosh. This is a true 
McIntosh type of deep red coloring ripening much later. We picked some from 
the trees after our Staymans and Paragon were picked and they came off hard. 
We kept samples on our office desk for six weeks and while they had dried out 
they still retained the splendid McIntosh quality. 
They are fully as large as McIntosh and even on heavy clay loam had splendid 
coloring and showed no russetting. 
Opalescent. —The most attractive variety of its season. The best very large apple 
we have ever grown. It is very attractive in color, being glossy, rich, solid red 
that covers almost the entire apple, the ground being a clear yellow. Its size 
and color would sell it but its quality gets orders for the next day. As a baking 
apple it is unsurpassed.
