fection. The tree is moderately vigorous forming a spreading habit and is an 
excellent bearer. 
The fruit is inclined to be rather large and oblong and more or less ribbed, 
often with prominent ridges at the apex, sides being sometimes unequal. The 
skin is of a decidedly attractive color, being shaded and often blushed with a 
brownish red in the sun which improves greatly by becoming a more clearly 
defined yellow as it matures in storage. The flesh is whitish, tinged with a 
pale yellow and moderately fine grained, rather tender, juicy and possesses a 
fine aroma. When first picked it has a tendency to be rather too acid for 
dessert use but its qualities greatly improve after several months of storage. 
The growing of this apple has been very successful in the central and north¬ 
ern coast regions, interior valleys and foothills and in fact most every locality 
where the soil and climate is adapted to the growing of other varieties of 
apples. Ripens in October and keeps well until January. 
Yellow Newtown Pippin The Yellow Newtown Pippin is a popular and 
excellent apple for storage and commercial 
purposes and for the export trade. It is successfully grown in all parts of the 
United States. The tree is rather a slow grower, moderately vigorous, some¬ 
times becoming very large. 
The fruit while uniform in size varies greatly in form which is usually round¬ 
ish, oblate and somewhat angular. The skin is rather tough, slightly rough¬ 
ened with brownish russet dots and inclined to be of a greenish shade at har¬ 
vesting time but afterwards attains a very pretty yellow showing a slight trace 
of brownish pink near the base. The flesh is of a yellow tinge, firm, tender, 
fine grained and sub-acid. 
Yellow Newtown Pippin is considered the best winter apple in California and 
is one which we can recommend as adapted for planting in all sections. Ripens 
in December and keeps well until the latter part of May. 
CRAB APPLES 
The Crab Apple has many points of excellence. They not only produce 
abundant crops of fruit but make fine ornamental trees especially when in 
bloom or when loaded with their highly colored fruits ranging from yellow 
to the deepest red and which are often borne in clusters. 
General cultural directions are the same as for apples. The trees succeed 
as well in hot as in cold climates and the fruit is prized for making jellies, cider 
and preserves.

HvsloD The Hyslop is one of the most extensively cultivated varieties of 
* ^ the crab apples. The tree is very hardy, of a spreading habit and 
a very heavy bearer. 
The fruit is of good size and is produced in clusters. The skin is of a rich 
dark red color. Flesh is of a sub-acid flavor and is particularly adapted for 
the making of cider as well as being a favorite with housewives for its use in 
making jellies, and spiced sweet pickles. 
On account of the attractive appearance of the tree and fruit, as well as its 
many uses, we believe every home orchard should contain one or more of the 
trees. Ripens in November and keeps well until January. 
Red Siberian This is another very highly prized variety of the crab apple 
family. Tree of rather spreading habit and produces its fruit 
in clusters. 
The fruit is about three-fourths to an inch in diameter, of uniform size and 
rather flat at the base. The skin is of a lively scarlet color and very smooth, 
having a yellow ground and usually covered with a white bloom. When the 
bloom is rubbed off it presents a very highly polished appearance, which makes 
it particularly prized for fruit basket decoration. 
Red Siberian is considered excellent for culinary purposes and should not 
be ovrelooked when sending in your order. Ripens in September.
