The fruit is of a beautiful rich golden yellow color and very attractive, 
roundish and oblong in shape, inclined to be flat at the blossom end. The 
flesh is of a yellow color being rather tender, crisp, juicy, sub-acid, with rich 
aromatic flavor, making it one of the finest dessert apples. It is also consid¬ 
ered very good for culinary purposes. 
We do not recommend planting it for commercial purposes, although, in fav¬ 
ored sections, such as the interior valleys and foothill regions, the same has 
proven to be profitable, as the fruit is readily sold in nearby markets. Ripens 
in November. Not a long keeper. 
Jonathan This variety is of the Spitzenburg class and originated in New 
York State. Rather a slow grower, of a roundish spreading 
habit and of medium size when fully grown. It is highly recommended as a 
producer and considered one of the very best apples of its season. 
The fruit is of medium size, roundish and oval in shape, having a deep yellow 
ground overlaid with bright red which deepens to purplish on the sunny side. 
It makes a most attractive appearance on the market. Flesh is of a faint yel¬ 
low, sometimes tinged with red, crisp, juicy, spicy, very aromatic and sub-acid. 
The Jonathan is approved and recommended for all sections of this state. 
It is an excellent variety for either dessert or culinary uses and every home 
orchard should contain a tree of this variety. 
King David While similar to both the Arkansas Black and Jonathan, it is 
6 claimed by apple growers to be much superior in flavor and 
productiveness. 
The tree is very hardy and a vigorous grower, blooms late, bears at an early 
age and produces regularly. 
The fruit is large, a beautiful wine red in color. Flesh is firm, crisp and 
juicy. The exceedingly high color together with the size and good flavor of 
this variety make it a winner for market purposes. For culinary and dessert 
purposes it is one of the best. 
Recommended for planting in all sections of the Pacific Coast. Ripens in 
October. 
King of Tompkins County Is commonly called King and by some 
Tompkins King. The 'ree is a very vig¬ 
orous grower of an open spreading habit with long branches which are in¬ 
clined to droop. 
The fruit is of large size, globular in form and of a beautiful red color with 
a yellow contrast which makes it very attractive. The flesh has a yellow ap¬ 
pearance, rather coarse, but juicy and sub-acid, which makes it much in favor 
for either dessert or culinary purposes. King of Tompkins County demands 
attention among both special and general trade, and often sells at higher 
prices than any other variety. We would advise planting this apple in the 
higher altitudes and northern coast regions. Ripens in September and will 
keep until the middle of November. 
Lawver This tree grows to medium size and is of round spreading habit. 
The fruit is of medium size, being roundish and rather flat at the 
base, mostly red in color, sometimes showing a blotch of yellow ground. The 
fruit is attractive and while it is not highly prized for dessert purposes is rec¬ 
ommended for culinary uses. The flesh is white, hard and moderately fine, 
tender, juicy and sub-acid, although not of a very high flavor. 
The Lawver thrives best in the coast regions. Its ripening period is 
about January first, but it can easily be kept until May under proper conditions. 
Maiden Blush The tree of the Maiden Blush is a fine vigorous grower of 
spreading habit and comes into bearing when very young. 
It has gained considerable favor because of its regular and heavy crops. 
The fruit is very attractive, being of a pale lemon yellow color with a crim¬ 
son cheek, and of uniformly large size, conical in form. The flesh is white, of 
good quality and is found excellent foj* the making of evaporated apples. It 
is considered good for culinary purposes. 
The keeping qualities of the Maiden Blush are not of the best and its ripen¬ 
ing period varies greatly in the different sections. It is approved for planting 
in the central coast regions, interior and foothill sections. Ripens in August. 
Mammoth Black Twig This is a southern variety of the Winesap type 
v and originated in the northern part of Ten- 
(Faragon; nessee and in that section is one of the most 
profitable varieties. The tree is a vigorous grower, of spreading habit, and 
while not an early bearer, it produces good crops when in full bearing.
