APPLES, continued 
GRAVENSTEIN. Fall. This variety is considered among the leading twenty 
sorts, and is one of the best cooking Apples of its season. Always commands 
high prices in market. The fruit is perfect in form and handsome in coloring 
—orange-yellow overlaid with broken stripes of light and dark red; flesh is 
yellowish, firm, crisp, tender, juicy, subacid, in quality one of the finest. 
Tree is extra vigorous in growth, comes into bearing rather early, and bears 
profuse crop regularly. 
GRIMES. Fall. Usually rated (at the 40th parallel) as a fall Apple. Good in 
September, but later on it is even better, and the best markets usually have 
Grimes during December and January and even February. Keeps without 
losing any of its crispness or rich flavor. It is medium sized, golden yellow, 
tender, rich, aromatic, spicy like a peach, subacid, delicious. Few Apples are 
more profitable commercially. Quality is too good for any but the best 
trade, and will justify packing with all care in boxes. Tree is very hardy and 
productive, and one of the best fillers, as it comes into bearing very early. 
Blossoms come late in the spring; frost seldom catches them. 
Hagloe. Summer. Red. 
Hubbardston. Winter. Red. 
JONATHAN. Winter. Medium to large; brilliant red; very highly flavored, 
juicy, fine-grained, tender, mild, subacid. Will keep well without special 
care, and also stand much handling. Tree long-lived, but comes into bearing 
very young and produces big crops every year. Jonathan is often the kind 
to plant in higher Appalachian country. Southern Pennsylvania, Maryland, 
and all states to the west having similar conditions, produce fine Jonathans. 
Farther north it ripens a little small, but everywhere is of best quality. 
July (Fourth of July). Summer. Red. 
Lowry. Winter. Red. 
Malden Blush. Fall. Yellow with blush. 
McINTOSH. Fall. The Apple that has made the Bitter Root Valley famous. 
The color is bright, deep red; flesh white, with pinkish tinge; juicy, with 
slight acid flavor. The fruit will keep a long time, but is mellow and good to 
use almost from the time it is picked till the next crop comes. Requires no 
special storage to be kept like fresh. In New England, New York and 
Michigan its high quality and attractive appearance put it in the lead. It 
is extra good for all the higher and colder sections. Trees bear in three and 
four years, and make fine fillers. Quick and spreading grower; long-lived; 
bears big crops. 
Missouri. Winter. Red. 
Nero. Winter. Red. 
NORTHERN SPY. Winter. Old standby sort from West Virginia north. 
Large; bright light red and yellow; flesh juicy, crisp, rich, tender, aromatic, 
of good flavor. Tree very healthy, strong-growing, rugged. Blossoms very 
late, escaping frosts. Slow coming into bearing, which is the only thing that 
keeps the Northern Spy from ranking with the most important commercial 
varieties. Its large size, handsome appearance and superfine quality give it 
first rank for fancy trade, and when well grown and properly packed, it 
sells for higher prices than any other winter Apple. It retains its crispness 
and high flavor well to the end of its season. In the right sections no more 
valuable Apple can be grown. 
Northwestern (Northwestern Greening). Fall. Greenish yellow. 
OLDENBURG (Duchess of Oldenburg). Summer. One of the important 
varieties for all sections north of the Mason and Dixon Line. Thrives and 
yields abundantly of high-grade fruit at all elevations in Maryland, Pennsyl¬ 
vania, New York, Ohio and other northern states. The fruit is medium sized, 
red-striped; flesh white, juicy and of excellent flavor. Trees are naturally 
dwarf growers and make fine fillers; require small root and branch space. 
Tree among the hardiest and one of the few that will stand the climate of 
Iowa, Minnesota, Montana and other cold locations. You can depend on 
Duchess to yield Apples you can sell for good prices. 
Opalescent. Winter. Red.
