FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL NURSERY STOCK 
APPLES, continued 
big producer, or it would be our leading high- 
priced Apple. For certain sections King 
is beyond doubt one of the best Apples 
which can be planted for making money. 
LOWRY. Winter. Dark red fruit, 
with small salmon-colored spots. A jj 
good keeper and of splendid quality; 
flavor only slightly acid. 
MAIDEN BLUSH. Fall. One 
of the most beautiful, pale lemon 
with crimson cheek; flesh white, 
tender and crisp. An old-time fa¬ 
vorite which is still one of the most 
popular Apples. Tree vigorous and 
good bearer. 
McIntosh red. 
The 
Apple 
that has made the Bitter Root Val¬ 
ley 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 'll 
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 wm 
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.

BT A OTT ered with deep 
JL W JLIsJ"© red, the general 
—---— effect being dark 
red; flesh tender, tinged with yellow, crisp, subacid, 
aromatic, of excellent quality in every way. Tree 
is vigorous and healthy, comes into bearing early 
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. A most 
dependable sort under these conditions, and it can 
be kept in fine condition until the summer Apples 
come. (See colored illustration on page 4.) 
MISSOURI PIPPIN. Winter. A rich red with 
darker red stripes. 
MYRICK. Fall. A large yellow Apple thickly 
striped and overlaid with crimson. 
NERO. Here is an Apple possessing great 
_ --' merit, which has received far too 
little attention from planters of eastern orchards. 
Deep red, with handsome shading; above medium 
size; of good quality and excellent flavor; one of the 
longest keepers; mellows for use in the fall if kept 
in a warm place, but if stored is fine in May and 
June. Apples are graded and packed easily, do not 
show bruises, and hold up well in storage and on the 
market. The trees are among the most satisfactory 
that we have. They are hardy, healthy and big; 
free from disease and productive. We advise you 
to learn more about Nero, and to make extensive 
plantings of it. 
NEWTOWN PIPPIN. Large, round or a little 
lopsided, ribbed and somewhat irregular. Tree a 
McIntosh Red is one of the best for box-packing on account 
of size and color 
slow grower and light bearer in poor soils, but right 
soil and care will do wonders with it in almost any 
section of the East or West, north of Tennessee. A 
world-beater where it will thrive, but no good at all 
in soils and under conditions not adapted to its 
exacting requirements. 
NORTHERN SPY. Winter. Old standby 
- sort from West Vir¬ 
ginia 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 ap¬ 
pearance 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 GREENING. Fall. Round; 
very large; greenish yellow; fine for eating out-of¬ 
hand; splendid keeper; ships well. Should not 
form a main part of a commercial orchard because 
crops are not so certain every year as with other 
standard sorts, due to blossoming early. Ex¬ 
tremely hardy, vigorous; bears very young. Es¬ 
pecially good in middle Atlantic and New England 
States, at mid-elevations. Part of an orchard in 
Northwestern Greening will help to sell the whole 
crop for more money. 
OPALESCENT. Winter. Light in color, shading 
to very dark crimson.
