AND FAVORED VARIETY 
9 
We do not recommend planting it for commercial purposes, although, in fav¬ 
ored sections, such as the interior valleys and foothill regions, the same has 
proven to be profitable, as the fruit is readily sold in nearby markets. Ripens 
in November. Not a long keeper. 
This is one of the good varieties ripening in September and Octo- 
XiOOVer ber. The tree is decidedly different from other varieties, being 
very short jointed in its growth. It is a free grower and a good producer. 
The fruit is large in size, oblate in shape and a beautiful red in color. 
The flesh is crisp of a sub-acid flavor, very juicy and highly prized for both 
cooking and dessert purposes. Ripens in September and hangs on the tree 
throughout October. 
Rome Beauty Jonathan 
This variety is of the Spitzenburg class and originated in New 
Jonathan York State. Rather a slow grower, of a roundish spreading 
habit and of medium size when fully grown. It is highly recommended as a 
producer and considered one of the very best apples of its season. 
The fruit is of medium size, roundish and oval in shape, having a deep yellow 
ground overlaid with bright red which deepens to purplish on the sunny side. 
It makes a most attractive appearance on the market. Flesh is of a faint yel¬ 
low, sometimes tinged with red, crisp, juicy, spicy, very aromatic and sub-acid. 
The Jonathan is approved and recommended for all sections of this state. 
It is an excellent variety for either dessert or culinary uses and every home 
orchard should contain a tree of this variety. 
King David 
While similar to both the Arkansas Black and Jonathan, it is 
claimed by apple growers to be much superior in flavor and 
productiveness. 
The tree is very hardy and a vigorous grower, blooms late, bears at an early 
age and produces regularly. 
The fruit is large, a beautiful wine red in color. Flesh is firm, crisp and 
juicy. The exceedingly high color together with the size and good flavor of 
this variety make it a winner for market purposes. For culinary and dessert 
purposes it is one of the best. 
Recommended for planting in all sections of the Pacific Coast. Ripens in 
October. 
The tree of the Maiden Blush is a fine vigorous grower of 
spreading habit and comes into bearing when very young. 
It has gained considerable favor because of its regular and heavy crops. 
Maiden Blush 
The fruit is very attractive, being a pale lemon yellow color with a crim¬ 
son cheek, and of uniformly large size, conical in form. The flesh is white, of 
good quality and is found excellent for the making of evaporated apples. It 
is considered good for culinary purposes. 
The keeping qualities of the Maiden Blush are not of the best and its ripen¬ 
ing period varies greatly in the different sections. It is approved for planting 
in the central coast regions, interior and foothill sections. Ripens in August. 
*« i Di * rr . This is a southern variety of the Winesap type 
Mammoth olacR 1 Wig and originated in the northern part of Ten- 
(Paragon) nessee and in that section is one of the most 
profitable varieties. The tree is a vigorous grower, of spreading habit, and 
while not an early bearer, it produces good crops when in full bearing.
