GREEN’S QUALITY TREES, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
Greening (Rhode Island Greening). (Winter.) 
- — : - This apple has 
a recognized standing, both in domestic and foreign markets, and sells 
readily for good prices. It is regarded as the very best cooking apple 
grown and also excellent for dessert use. Size large. Flesh yellowish, 
firm, fine grained, crisp, tender, juicy, sprightly subacid, very good. Skin 
grass-green to yellow, sometimes with brownish-red blush. Tree large, 
strong, vigorous, wide spreading. While red apples are usually sought 
after in the markets more generally than those of any other color, the 
Greening holds its own on account of its well known qualifications as a 
cooking apple. It lias no superior in this regard. It is an enormous bearer 
and bears more regularly every year than many other varieties. It succeeds 
on almost all soils and situations. Ripens in December, 
keeps until April. 
Rhode Island Greening Apples (Reduced Size) 
The Greening is one of the best known apples. It is 
exceedingly productive and a regular bearer, seldom 
failing to produce a full crop of attractive fruit. When 
fully ripe it is a yellow apple attractive in appearance. 
While it is known best as a superior cooking apple, there are 
many who like the quality of the Greening better than others. 
The tree attains great size with wide-spreading branches 
and may live to produce bountifully for one hundred 
years. It seems to do well on sandy or clayey soils and 
on uplands or lowlands over a large part of this con¬ 
tinent. While I cannot recall the Greening apple as one 
of those that bore fruit so bountifully in my father’s 
orchard when I was a child, its popularity dates back for 
many years.

1 A man we knew had rounded out more than ninety 
years when a little bit of a windfall came to him. The first 
thing he did after counting the money was to say: ‘Now I'll 
set out another orchard.’ ” Trotty Veck. 
C. A. GREEN ON APPLES 
There is no fruit more popular or useful or healthful than 
apples. No fruit is more highly prized as food than the 
apple. The apple is one of the most.productive fruits of the 
earth, one tree on my place sometimes yielding 12 barrels 
of apples in one year. No fruit will keep longer than the 
apple. I have seen apples that have been kept in an ordinary 
cellar a year. No fruits are more beautiful than the apple. 
The apple is of all colors. It ripens at various seasons and 
one apple differs from another as far as one man or woman 
differs from another. No fruit is more easily grown than the 
apple. 
“BUY YOUR TREES DIRECT!” 
Says Uncle Sam 
“If the farmer makes his purchases direct from the nursery¬ 
man he will save the expense of the agent and is less liable 
to the mistakes and injury that may occur through repeated 
handling.” United States Department of Agriculture 
Farmer’s Bulletin No. 113. 
MICE IN THE ORCHARD 
Every orchardist should bank up around young trees 
with earth at least a foot high before winter sets in. Alice 
will not ascend this mound of earth. This is a simple and 
inexpensive method of protection. Piles of brush or other 
rubbish should not be allowed to stand over wdnter to harbor 
mice near young orchards.
