WINTER APPLES 
Ben Davis. Tree vigorous and productive but not as hardy

Tree is a vigorous grower and fruit is large, showy, good 
quality and a good keeper. Well worth a trial. 
Forest Winter. This variety has been grown in Wisconsin 
for some time in a local way. It is worthy of a wider 
dissemination. The tree is a good upright grower and 
as far as we know, is hardy; fruit of good size, somewhat 
pointed at blossom end, of excellent quality. Color is 
greenish yellow nearly covered with red. Very mild and 
is a good keeper. The following is an extract from a 
letter received from W. T. Macoun, Dominion Horticul¬ 
turist at the Central Experiment Farm, Ottawa, Canada. 
He says. “We are particularly interested in this Apple 
because it is one of the hardiest, late keeping Apples we 
have, and because of its very good quality we have used 
it in our cross breeding work to try and obtain an Apple 
of brighter color, which we have done. I do not know 
of any other nurseryman who offers this for sale except 
your own firm, and in fact, I thought we were the only 
people who had this now.”
