HENRY AND HIS PONY. 
Henry Long Harrison, eight years old, wants an acre of land in York Imperial Apples. 
Missouri Pippin— Large, oblong, bright red with 
darker red stripes; very handsome, fair quality, a good 
grower and an early and immense bearer, valuable for 
market. December to April. 
Milam— Small—Red—Slender and Tall Grower.— 
Not so much in demand as of old, other better and 
Larger apples have superseded it; still it is quite pro¬ 
ductive in some sections. Keeps well. 
Mann— An upright grower, forming a round head, 
fruit medium to large, roundish, oblate, skin deep 
yellow when fully ripe, with sometimes a shade of 
brownish red where exposed, flesh yellowish, juicy, 
mild, pleasant, sub-acid, good to very good; vigorous. 
April and May. 
Northern Spy —Large, striped, flesh white, mild 
and tender and slightly sub-acid, with a rich, delicious 
flavor. Tree is a good grower, but we cannot advise 
its planting south of Pennsylvania, except in moun¬ 
tainous regions. November to February. 
Northwestern Greening— A Wisconsin seedling 
of great value; has stood the most trying tests, and 
found to be equal to Wealthy in point of hardiness, 
but superior in fruit and keeping qualities; fruit large, 
smooth, greenish yellow; flesh fine grained, juicy, 
firm, good quality, thoroughly tested, January to 
April. 
Paradise Winter Sweet—Large,regularly formed, 
roundish; skin fair and smooth, dull green when 
picked, with a brownish blush; flesh wh'te, fine 
grained juicy, sweet, sprightly and good; productive; 
an excellent aprle and well worthy a place in the 
orchard. November to February. 
Pewaukee —Medium to large, roundish, somewhat 
flattened, bright yellow, streaked and spotted with 
dark red; flesh white, tender, juicy and sub-acid; a 
seedling from Duchess, and it inherits its quality of 
extreme hardiness, which makes it a most reliable 
kind in cold climates. December and January. 
Newtown Pippin —One of the very best apples as 
to quality; tree a light grower while young; very 
juicy, crisp and highly delicious flavor; fine keeper 
Does not succeed in all sections. December to May. 
Nero—A seedling of the Romanite, which it excel? 
in every way. A valuable winter apple, long keeper, 
large and beautiful; none better for Middle and South¬ 
ern States. December to April. 
Peck’s Pleasant —Medium to large; waxen yel 
low, with blush cheek; resembles the Newtown Pip. 
pin; flesh yellow, fine grained, crisp and brittle. We 
regard it as the best flavored apple. December to 
March, 
Pound Sweet —A late fall and early winter apple, 
highly prized for eating out of hand or for baking* 
known by some as Lyman’s Pumpkin Sweet. Fruit 
of large size, greenish yellow, uniformly fair, smooth, 
and marketable. 
Rambo —Size medium, oblate, skin smooth, yellow¬ 
ish white in the shade, streaked and marbled with pale 
yellow and red in the sun and spreckled with large, 
rough dogs; very tender, rich, mild, sub-acid, very- 
good. Tree vigorous tender in some localities. 
Rome Beauty—Large, yellow, striped and mixed 
with light red; flesh yellow, juicy, crisp and sub-acid. 
Valuable for market on account of its productiveness, 
size and beauty, as well as for its certain bearing. 
November to January. 
York Imperial —The best of all the List. Medium 
size, oval, angular, skin greenish yellow, nearly cov¬ 
ered with bright red. flesh crisp, tender and juicy, 
aromatic; an enormous bearer, and hangs well on the 
tree; it is also a good keeper, retaining its flavor tothe 
last. We cannot say too .much in favor of this apple. 
All things considered, it is scarcely second to any now 
grown as a profitable orchard variety. Be sure to 
include this in every cohection. December to April.
