IS OUR MOTTO_11 
The tre-e is a moderate grower, of spreading habit and as it attains age it 
usually is a reliable bearer. 
The fruit is rather small, roundish and uniform, having a tender, smooth 
glossy skin, of pale yellow or greenish overspread with a deep red, sometimes 
very dark on the exposed cheek. Some specimens are entirely red with rather 
numerous dots, which are very small and light. The flesh is white, tender, 
juicy and of a rich sub-acid flavor. 
It is particularly adapted to the interior valleys and foothill sections, al¬ 
though, for home use, it is approved in most all localities. Used principally 
as a dessert fruit. Ripens in July.' 
Rhode Island Greening 
Rhode Island Greening This is one of the oldest and most widely 
known and highly prized varieties of apples 
and certainly needs no introduction to anyone. 
The tree is large and vigorous; makes a dense growth, is wide, spreading and 
somewhat drooping. This tendency requires the tree to be headed somewhat 
higher than the average tree and requires careful pruning to secure the best 
results. This variety always repays for any trouble tak-en to have it right. 
The fruit is large to very large and uniform both as to size and shape, with 
a fairly thick, tough, smooth skin of greenish color turning to yellow when 
fully ripe. The flesh is yellowish, firm but tender, juicy and rich and exceed¬ 
ingly good in quality. 
This variety is good for all purposes and is recommended for all sections. If 
placed in storage as soon as picked it keeps remarkably well. Ripens in October. 
Rome Beauty This variety is well known to apple growers as a very 
hardy and vigorous tree, being of upright habit, a late 
bloomer and nearly always a sure cropper. It attains medium size and while 
upright at first, becomes spreading with age. 
The fruit averages above medium size and is quite uniform both in size and 
shape which is roundish to slightly oblong. The skin is thick, tough, and 
smooth, which makes it a very valuable apple for shipping and storage pur¬ 
poses. It is of a greenish yellow shade, mottled with bright red, sometimes 
almost solid red on the exposed cheek, often striped with a darker red and 
covered with numerous whitish or brown dots. The flesh is nearly white, with 
a slight tinge of yellow, moderately fine grained, very juicy and aromatic with 
an agreeable mild sub-acid flavor. 
Rome Beauty is particularly noted for its fine keeping qualities which ren¬ 
der it a very profitable apple, both as a commercial and family orchard 
variety. It ranks favorably with th-e well known Baldwin for its dessert and 
culinary purposes but comes into bearing at a much earlier age, which makes 
it a great favorite among planters. We highly recommend the planting of 
this apple in all parts of California. Ripens in November and under proper 
conditions can be kept until the latter part of March. 
Smith’s Cider Is a very popular and widely known variety and when 
grown under favorable conditions is a beautiful fruit. The 
tree is of spreading habit, very vigorous and productive. 
The fruit is medium to large and of a roundish shape, yellow in color, shaded 
and striped with red having conspicuous russet or gray dots. The flesh is 
moderately fine grained of a whitish color, crisp, tender, quite juicy and is 
used extensively in some states for the making of cider.
