HARRISONS’ NURSERIES 
HARRISON-GROWN APPLE TREES, continued 
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. 
Maiden 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 grower; long-lived; big cropper. 
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. 
Opalescent. Winter. Red. 
PARAGON (Mammoth Black Twig). Winter. A round Apple of extra-large 
size; skin smooth, yellowish, covered with deep red, the general effect being 
■dark red; flesh tender, tinged with yellow, crisp, subacid, aromatic, of excel¬ 
lent quality in every way. Tree is vigorous and healthy and yields big crops 
.every year. In the East many times will be about the best commercial sort. 
.'Seems to prefer the lower elevations, that is, an altitude of 400 to 1,000 feet 
:in Maryland, and higher or lower as you are north or south. 
'Rambo, Summer. Red. 
Rambo (Winter Rambo). Winter. Red. 
Red Astrachan. Summer. Red. 
Red June (Carolina Red June). Summer. Red. 
RHODE ISLAND GREENING. Winter. The color of this large Apple is 
greenish yellow. In form the fruit is flattened slightly at both ends; flesh 
crisp, juicy, quite acid, of very fine flavor and quality. Most of the money 
made in the East with winter Apples during the last* generation came from 
Rhode Island Greening, Spy and Baldwin. These have been standard com¬ 
mercial varieties in New York and New England for a generation.
