''World’s Earliest Red 
Apple.” Most beautiful, 
most valuable of all early apples. Ripe week earlier than 
Yellow Transparent, and has sold for double the price— 
fruit averages large, glowing scarlet color—quality most 
satisfying of any very early apple. Tree is remarkably strong and 
\igorous grower, of ironclad hardiness, produces tremendous 
annual crops. The early apple for East, West, South and far North. 
Our Record-Bearing Strain trees are grown from the best parent tree 
of known bearing record. Trees sold ONLY by us. 
Prof. Sanders, Canadian Dept. Agriculture, says: "Earliest applet 
young bearer, better shipper than Yellow Transparent—15 acres in 
one year brought Mr. Shute $10,500.00.” Mr. Adney, son-in-law of 
originator (Mr. Sharpe) says: "Remarkably prolific, extremely 
hardy, never winter-kills, 10 days earlier than any other apple. 
Occupies a place no other apple fills.” 
“Our Early Red Bird nearly double size of Yellow Transparent—foliage and 
growth-100% more vigorous—NOT A TRACE OF BLIGHT.”—G. C. Starcher 
(former Assoc. Horticulturist of V'a.), Chattooga Co., Ga. 
Fall. Propagated from Zuercher’s famous Wealthy 
Parent Tree from the Original Wealthy Tree. Noted 
for hardiness. Tree strong, spreading grower, bears extremely young 
and every year. Remarkably free from disease, and long lived. Fruit attractive, 
brilliant red striped, medium to large. Quality superb—wonderful, wine-likc 
flavor, refreshing juice. A money-maker for commercial orchardists. 
Summer. An immense apple, deep 
solid blazing red-all-over—not a 
sign of stripe. Ripe just ahead of Summer Champion. Goes on mar¬ 
kets when apples are scarce. Tree hardy, standing hardest winters 
and coming through with a crop. This apple, and Summer Champion, are un¬ 
questionably the most beautiful summer apples. Growers everywhere get top 
prices for them. Our propagation is through the Original Tree. Trees are sold 
ONLY by us.
