THE BALDWIN APPLE 
There was a time when orchardists of western New York 
considered Baldwin as the only apple to plant for market and 
for large yields of large and beautiful red fruit. At a horti¬ 
cultural meeting many years ago a member said that if he 
were to plant a thousand apple trees he would plant 999 
Baldwin. When asked what variety he would plant for the 
other apple tree, his reply was that he would plant that to 
Baldwin also. Of late years we have learned that there are 
other worthy varieties besides the Baldwin, but still the 
Baldwin holds its place as the great commercial apple over a 
large part of this continent. There are many reasons for its 
popularity. Its skin is strong enough to endure long ship¬ 
ment, therefore it can be sent to Europe with safety. It is a 
good keeper, lasting in ordinary storage well into the early 
summer months. Its bright red skin gives it great beauty. 
The tree is a strong, upright grower. I have just returned 
from a visit to the orchard at Green’s Fruit Farm. I found 
the Baldwin trees loaded down with attractive fmit. The 
fruit hangs well to the tree, which is an important item.

juicy, subaeid. Ripens in December, lasts to May.

_-1 ing qualities recommend it as a filler. Fruit

hardy. No orchardist’s list of varieties can be complete 
without this beautiful and superior flavored apple. Ripens
