GREEN’S QUALITY TREES, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
The Delicious Red apple is of high quality 
and may be classed with the dessert apples. At 
its best it is very large. 
As to the great new apple Delicious, Luther 
Burbank says: “It is a gem, the finest apple in 
the world.” Pie says that with him it has never 
failed to produce a crop, and that the quality is 
unsurpassed. It is a wide step away from the 
ordinary apple. It is reported that SI .350 has 
been received for the fruit of one acre of Delicious 
apple trees. 
GREAT BULK OF APPLES PER ACRE 
There are few crops which can be grown successfully in 
this country which give so large a yield of bushels or barrcls, 
as does the apple. Potatoes are remarkably productive but 
if all the potatoes growing in a circle 20 feet across were shown 
on the surface of the ground and along side of this display of 
potatoes all the apples that grow upon a productive Baldwin 
apple tree or Banana or McIntosh Red were seen upon the 
same expanse of ground as the potatoes, it would at once be 
seen that the yield of apples is many times greater than that 
of the potato. A friend tells me that he harvested from his 
small orchard nearly 4,000 bushels of apples, mostly King, 
the past year.

(Winter.) Everybody in¬ 
terested in fruit has heard 
of the Delicious apple. There are few varieties which have 
attracted wider attention. Though most extensively grown 
in the west, it has proved successful in the eastern and middle 
states. It is attractive in shape and color and 
of delicious quality. The color of the skin is 
bright red. The flesh is yellow, crisp and 
juicy with a delightful aroma. It is a good 
keeper and shipper. It is said to be very 
hardy and a vigorous grower. If you have 
once seen a Delicious, you will never forget 
its shape, which is elongated with ribbed surface 
at the blossom end and with long stem and 
deep cavity. Everyone will want to plant a 
few Delicious. 
THE DELICIOUS APPLE 
Mr. Chas. A. Green: I wish to report to you my 
experience with the Delicious apple. 
I purchased my first Delicious trees in the spring 
of 1909. I planted them with peaches, same year. 
The seventh year I had 1A peach baskets cf 
apples. Eighth year, I had S bushels from 40 tree:;. 
Some trees did not have any on while one tree had 
1 A bushels. 
They have been under cultivation ever}* year, 
with a cover crop of rye. They have made a good 
growth and make a strong healthy tree. 
The apples on these young trees were large arid 
highly colored. I sold 4 bushels as a box apple in 
Haverstraw at $1.50 per bushel. 
As a dessert apple they certainly rank high. I 
am fortunate in having a lot of good neighbors and 
whenever they call they prefer the Delicious apple 
to others. This spring there are several that want 
Delicious grafts. 
I find that they are better keepers than R. I. 
Greening or Baldwin. With me they keep as good 
or better than Black Ben Davis. 
I know this much about Delicious that every 
farmer should have one or more trees for his own 
use. W. A. B., N. Y.
