Yellow Transparent. (Summer.) One of the best 
- - - extra early varieties. Ex¬ 
cellent for both culinary use and dessert. Fruit large, crisp, 
tender, juicy, subacid. Skin yellowish-white. Tree medium 
size, vigorous and hardy. The Yellow Transparent apple is 
remarkably early, of large size and very beautiful. But the 
one feature that makes it particularly desirable is that it is 
excessively hardy and can be safely planted in the most 
severe climates. It is also excessively productive and bears 
at an early age. Taken all in all, i t is one of the most desirable 
early apples in .cultivation. It gains steadily in favor year by 
year. Ripens late July and August. 
SUMMER APPLES 
The planting of summer apples has been neglected. The 
result is that there is great demand in the market for apples 
ripening in midsummer, such as Yellow Transparent, Duchess, 
Red Astrachan and Starr apples. Big money is being made by 
planting summer apples to supply the New York market and 
the market of other large cities. I hear of a single car of 
summer apples being sold for $900. 
Duchess is one of this class, scarcely ever failing to be 
striped with bright carmine on a yellow skin. The same may 
be said of Wismer's Dessert, Ilubbardston, Wagener, King, 
Shiawassee Beauty and Bismarck. Transcendent Crab is 
almost as beautiful as roses. I recall driving by a rural home 
and seeing a low shrubby t ree filled apparently with blossoms. 
I was surprised on closer examination to find that this was a 
tree of the Transcendent Crab apple. 
Bright red apples are in constant demand in the markets. 
The McIntosh Red is always bright red in color no matter 
where grown. I do not recall ever having seen McIntosh Reds 
that were lacking in color. Color is an important character¬ 
istic of the apple. It is possible that an orchard of fairly 
good fruit may be rejected by the buyer on the score that the 
fruit grown there is not well colored. When well grown the 
Spy apple is highly colored. 
But the apple need not be red in order to be saleable. We 
have in the Banana apple a variety which is compared to the 
color of bright gold, but is in fact of lighter color than gold, 
making a brilliant and impressive display as stored in baskets, 
barrels or boxes. I have seen the Banana apple when it was 
well covered with pink.
