Alexander The Alexander is one of the best of the Russian type varieties. 
The tree is a vigorous grower, hardy, and attains a medium 
to large size. While the natural growth of this tree is upright, it has a ten¬ 
dency to droop after bearing several crops. This variety is approved for plant¬ 
ing in all districts of California, but is particularly recommended for the in¬ 
terior valleys and foothill regions. 
The fruit is very large, regularly formed, with moderately thick and tough 
skin, handsomely striped with a lively red, showing faint red on the shaded 
side, but very bright in the sun and is one of the most attractive apples. The 
flesh is yellowish white, rather coarse in texture, but firm, tender and juicy, 
medium to good in quality, and is highly recommended for culinary purposes. 
Ripens in September and keeps well until November. 
Arkansas Black The tree Arkansas Black has a vigorous open growing 
habit, is a heavy producer and is highly recommended 
for planting in the coast regions and interior valleys of California. 
The fruit is of medium size, nearly round and fairly uniform, with a smooth 
waxy skin of a most beautiful dark red color, turning almost black on the sides 
exposed to the sun. The flesh is decidedly yellow tinged, fine, firm and crisp, 
fairly juicy and of a very good quality and is highly valued as a market variety 
on account of its attractive appearance. Ripens in December and keeps well 
until April.

Ben Davis 
Baldwin This is a very popular variety in the Northwest where it is ex¬ 
tensively grown, and is highly approved for planting in all sec¬ 
tions of this state, but more especially in the Northern part and elevated dis¬ 
tricts. 
The tree is large, very vigorous and long lived. It does not reach bearing 
maturity as early as several other varieties, but when it does it bears abun¬ 
dantly and is dependable. We would suggest thinning of the fruit, in order 
to overcome its natural habit of overproducing. 
The fruit of this variety is large, roundish and fairly uniform in size, having 
a tough smooth skin mottled with bright red. The flesh is yellowish, firm, 
juicy, sub-acid and of good flavor. Ripens in January and keeps until April.
