covered with numerous whitish or brown dots. The flesh is nearly white, with 
a slight tinge of yellow, moderately fine grained, very juicy and aromatic with 
an agreeable mild sub-acid flavor. 
Rome Beauty is particularly noted for its fine keeping qualities which ren¬ 
der it a very profitable apple, both as a commercial and family orchard 
variety. It ranks favorably with the well known Baldwin for its dessert and 
culinary purposes but comes into bearing at a much earlier age, which makes 
it a great favorite among planters. We highly recommend the planting of 
this apple in all parts of California. Ripens in November and under proper 
conditions can be kept until the latter part of March. 
Skinner’s Pippin This variety originated in the Santa Clara Valley and is 
recommended to planters of California. The tree is 
a strong, vigorous grower and requires severe pruning, owing to its dense 
habit of growth. 
The fruit is very large, of oblate conic shape, with a pale yellow skin, often 
blushed with a faint red on the sunny side, sometimes striped with red. Flesh 
is yellowish white, tender, juicy and sub-acid, of excellent quality and flavor. 
This variety is recommended for planting in the Central Coast and South¬ 
ern California regions. Ripens in September. 
Smith’s Cider Is a very popular and widely known variety and when 
grown under favorable conditions is a beautiful fruit. The 
tree is of spreading habit, very vigorous and productive. 
The fruit is medium to large and of a roundish shape, yellow in color, shaded 
and striped with red having conspicuous russet or gray dots. The flesh is 
moderately fine grained of a whitish color, crisp, tender, quite juicy and is 
used extensively in some states for the making of cider. 
It is recommended as a good variety to plant in all sections of California 
and is highly valued for its fine dessert qualities. Ripens in November and 
can be kept in storage until late February. 
Stayman Wlnsap 
Stayman Winesap The Stayman Winesap is a vigorous grower with 
an open and spreading habit; bears young, and is 
an annual and reliable cropper. This apple is of the Winesap class, and while 
perhaps a little less brilliant in color than i f s parent it is equal, if not better, 
in quality and adapted to a wider range of soil and climate. 
The fruit is of medium to large size, quite uniform in shape and inclined to 
be somewhat flattened at the base. The skin is rather smooth and thick, of a 
green color, becoming more yellowish when ripe and covered with a dull 
mixed red, sometimes faintly striped with dull carmine. The flesh is greenish 
yellow in color, of firm texture, very juicy with a tart flavor. 
We do not hesitate in recommending this variety for planting in the interior 
valleys, foothills, mountain valleys and plateaus, as we believe it worthy of 
extensive cultivation. Ripens in December and can be kept until April.
