Line. Thrives and yields abundantly of high-grade 
fruit at all elevations in Pennsylvania, 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

cold locations. You can depend on Duchess to yield 
Apples you can sell for good prices.

FOURTH OF JULY. Early summer. Medium¬ 
sized; round or long and slightly ribbed; pale yellow, 
striped with red; tart and good; home or market. 
Best suited to sections south of Maryland. 
GANO. Winter. A handsome, large Apple of 
—-- perfect shape, with a smooth, glossy, 
brilliant deep red skin; flesh is white, slightly tinged 
with yellow, firm, rather coarse, crisp, juicy, mild 
subacid, good quality. Tree is a strong, vigorous 
grower, with somewhat drooping branches, and 
comes into bearing young, producing regular and 
abundant crops. 
GOLDEN SWEET. Fall. Medium size; clear 
yellow. 
GRAVENSTEIN. Fall. This variety is 
—————— -- considered among the 
leading twenty sorts, and is one of the best cooking 
Apples. of its season, always commanding 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 yellow¬ 
ish, 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 
crops regularly. 
GRIMES’ GOLDEN. 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’ Golden 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. Fruit uniformly large, 
handsomely striped; a good variety for eating fresh, 
and unexcelled for cooking. Tree is a good grower, 
begins to bear when small and produces freely. 
HUBBARDSTON. Winter. Large, round, solid; 
pale red; mild, rich, crisp, tender, not dry. Not a 
long keeper. Strong grower; bears well every year; 
comes into bearing early. At the higher elevations 
m northern Pennsylvania and in New York is a 
very fine orchard tree and yields splendid fruit. 
JONATHAN. Winter. Medium to large;

flavored, juicy, fine-grained,. tender, mild, subacid. 
x \ , ee P Y eU 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, Mary¬ 
land, 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. 
KING (King of Tompkins County), 
hall. Late keeper under good conditions, 
but gets mellow and good in October; very 
red, with just a tint of yellow; flesh yellow, 
crisp and juicy; subacid. One of the larg¬ 
est Apples, and at the same time of the 
best quality. Tree is a slow grower, sub¬ 
ject to disease and breakage, and not a
