being one of the very best for the making of pies, apple sauce, dumplings, etc. 
Particularly adapted to interior valleys and foothill regions. Ripens in the 
month of July and will keep until September. 
Early Harvest The tree ^is variety is of upright roundish habit, me¬ 
dium size, moderately vigorous and an early bearer. It has 
proven itself very valuable for the home orchard, but we do not recommend 
it for commercial purposes, except where the fruit can be disposed of in local 
markets. 
The fruit is of a medium size and quite roundish, the skin is very smooth, of 
a bright straw color with a few faint dots of white. The flesh is white, juicy 
and crisp with a rich sub-acid flavor, which makes it very valuable among early 
apples for its high cooking qualities. The ripening period of the Early Harvest 
is late July. 
Esopus Spitzenburg This t . ree 1S a moderately rapid grower and of a 
spreading habit and when planted on deep fertile 
soils, that are well drained, it comes into bearing at an early age and will 
produce abundant crops of fruit. The Spitzenburg is best adapted for plant¬ 
ing in the coast regions and in the higher altitudes and will also do well in the 
interior valleys. 
The fruit is very large, oblong, conical, rather broad and flat at the base, and 
highly colored, having a smooth tough skin which is often marked with yellow¬ 
ish russet dots, shaded yellow and often striped dark red. Flesh is yellow, 
crisp, of fine texture and quite juicy with a delicious rich brisk flavor. 
Owing to its high standard of quality and attractiveness as a market variety 
this apple for commercial purposes is one of the best. Its ripening period is 
the first part of November and under ordinary conditions it can be kept as late 
as March. It has been known to keep as late as June in cold storage. 
Fall Pippin The tree is a. large and vigorous grower with somewhat of a 
drooping habit. It is particularly adapted for growing in the 
coast regions of Southern California, although good results have been obtained 
by planting it in the central coast regions, interior valleys and foothill sections. 
The fruit is very large,. uniform in shape, being roundish and generally flat¬ 
tened. Its beauty and size render it a very popular variety for table use as 
well as. for all .culinary purposes. It is one of the earliest autumn varieties. 
The skin is thin and smooth being of a clear yellow color when ripe, often 
blushed with a brownish tinge on one side, bearing a few russet colored dots. 
The flesh is moderately firm, white, tender, juicy and sub-acid. Ripens in late 
September and in cold storage can be easily kept as late as January. 
FameilSe F am euse or Snow, as it is commonly called, is a vigorous grower 
with an upright tendency and unless given careful pruning be¬ 
comes rather dense. 
The fruit is of medium size with a skin of greenish yellow mixed with pale 
red streaks, becoming a fine red when fully ripe. The flesh is pure white, ten¬ 
der and of excellent flavor. It commands a good price in the market owing to 
its high color and time of ripening and is considered one of the best of the 
dessert varieties. 
This variety does particularly well in coast regions and foothill sections, 
where it ripens in October and can easily be kept until late December. 
Gravenstein The tree of this variety is a very vigorous grower and of an 
upright habit, spreading to a broad top. It comes into bear¬ 
ing at an early age and continues to be a heavy producer. The Gravenstein 
is highly recommended for planting in all sections of California. 
The fruit is of uniform size, but irregular in shape, which is oblate to round¬ 
ish, broadest at base. Skin is of a greenish yellow color, striped with light 
and dark red; dotted with a few light dots. Flesh is yellow, of fine texture, 
crisp, juicy and moderately tender and is unsurpassed by any variety of its 
season for culinary purposes. Ripens in August and when placed in cold 
storage can be kept until latter part of November. 
Golden Pippin The tree ma ^ es a ver y vigorous growth, having 
short stout branches and inclined to be of an 
upright, roundish, dense habit and consequently requires careful pruning. 
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
