MAMMOTH STACK TWIG. 
Mammoth Black Twig—Originated in Arkansas. 
Seedling of the Winesap which it resembles but it is 
superior in many ways. Targe, deep red, sub-acid, 
early and abundant bearer and a good keeper. Tree 
is a strong grower and roots well. This valuable 
winter apple has but few equals. 
Red Canada— (Steel’s Red Winter.) —An old 
and tried variety, and considered one of Michigan’s 
best apples. Tree thrifty, but of slender grc wth, very 
productive. Fruit medium, oblate, inclined to conic. 
Skin yellow, mostly shaded with deep red, and some¬ 
times covered with greenish dots. Flesh very white 
and juicy, retaining its rich flavor to the last. A long 
keeper. 
Rolfe—Originated in Maine. By many called core¬ 
less on account of its small core, usually having but 
one seed each. The tree is hardy, a vigorous growt r 
and said to be an annual bearer. The handsome ap¬ 
pearance of this fruit makes it a valuable market sort, 
in quality we should rank it as first-class. The flesh 
is slightly yellow, crisp, juicy, slightly sub-acid; 
splendid for cooking and good for eating. .Season, No 
vember to February. 
Red Romanite or Carthouse—One of the best 
winter apples for planting south. On good soil the 
fruit is fair and of good size, and has the good property 
of holding on to the trees until late in the season. 
One of the best keepers. 
Roxbury Russet—Rather above medium size, 
roundish, greenish or yellow russet. Flesh greenish 
white, rather granular, with a good sub-acid flavor, 
productive and very popular on account of its long 
keeping. November to February. 
Rawle’s Janet—(Never Fail). Medium, roundish, 
ovate, greenis. yellow, striped with red, crisp, rich 
and juicy; one of the best and longest keepers in the 
south and southwest. , January to May. 
Roman Stem—Fruit medium; whitish yellow; 
splashed with russet; flesh tender, juicy, rich, musky 
flavor; fine dessert apple. November and December. 
New Jersey, November g, 1904.
