Winter Apples 
WXNESAF. Too well known to require a 
description. Tree hardy almost wherever 
planted, early bearer and profitable; tree 
inclined to overbear causing fruit to be 
undersized. Color red, sometimes almost 
black; flesh almost yellow, firm and crisp; 
one of the best. November to May. 
Reel Delicious 
RED DELICIOUS. Fruit is large, with the 
surface almost covered with a most beauti¬ 
ful brilliant dark red, blending to golden 
yellow at the blossom end. 
In quality it is unsurpassed, in flavor it 
is sweet, slightly touched with acid, but 
only enough so as to make it all the more 
pleasing, with an aroma delightfully frag¬ 
rant. The flesh is fine grained, crisp, 
juicy, melting and withal delicious. In 
keeping quality it ranks with the best, com¬ 
ing out of storage in March and April 
in perfect condition. Tree is very hardy. 
Delicious originated twenty years ago at 
Peru, Madison County, Iowa, by the late 
Jesse Hiatt, and on his farm the original 
tree still flourishes, bearing annual crops 
of beautiful fruit. 
BEN DAVIS (New York Pippin). Fruit 
medium to large, round, skin yellowish, 
splashed and striped and almost covered 
with red, flesh white, tender, moderately 
juicy, sub-acid; an excellent variety; tree 
very hardy, a free grower, coming into 
bearing early and very productive; it 
blooms late in the spring, thereby often 
escaping late frosts; very popular in the 
West and Southwest, December to March. 
MAMMOTH BLACK TWIG. One of the 
best for the Middle West. Fruit large, 
dark red. firm sub-acid and Juicy. Keeps 
as long as any apple in a common cellar; 
tree a strong grower; resembles Winesap, 
but is superior in many ways and fully 
one-third larger. January to April. 
JONATHAN. Beautiful tree, good grow¬ 
er, fruit full medium, fair producer, color 
dark shaded to almost black in the sun, 
fruit drops in dry season. November and 
December, but can be kept until April. 
Mammoth Black Twig 
G-ANO. The fruit is bright red on yellow 
ground (no stripes); large, oblong, tapering 
to the eye; surface smooth, polished; dots 
minute; basin shallow, sometimes deep; eye 
large, cavity deep, brown in color; stem 
medium to long; core medium. Season, 
January to April. Tree healthy, vigorous, 
hardy; an early annual and prolific bearer. 
YELLOW DELICIOUS. A fine apple, of 
medium size, golden yellow, the flavor is 
good, resembles that of pears, sweet. Per¬ 
fectly hardy here, and most anywhere in 
the Middle West. It bears young. Ripens 
first week in October. 
CRABS 
WHITNEY No. 20. A large crab, 1% to 
2 inches in diameter. Skin smooth, glossy 
green, striped with red. Flesh firm, juicy 
and flavor very pleasant. A fair dessert 
apple and one of the best for cider and 
vinegar. Tree a great bearer and hardy. 
Really deserves a place in our apple list. 
There are few early varieties of so much 
merit. One of the best for northern states. 
Ripens in August. 
HYSLOP. Season, September and Octo¬ 
ber. Fruit large, very brilliant color, dark 
red or purplish, overspread with thick blue 
bloom; borne in clusters. The tree is a
