Leading Varieties.- — For the convenience of our customers who may not be entirely familiar with 
the best and most profitable varieties, we have printed the names of such sorts in heavy type. In mak¬ 
ing your selection it will pay you to choose from among those varieties. 
Albemarle Pippin, or Yellow Newtown. Winter. 
Large, round or a little lopsided, ribbed and some¬ 
what irregular. Tree a 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. 
Alexander. Fall. A Russian Apple of very large 
size, with beautifully striped or stained red skin 
and white, crisp flesh, tender, juicy and subacid.

the section from New England to West Virginia. 
Fruit large, round, splendid red all over; rich 
subacid; splendid shipper. Quick and large 
grower; yields big crops, but does not bear young. 
We have fine Baldwin trees. We recommend it 
highly for northern Pennsylvania, New York, all 
of New England and similar country. Good care 
will make Baldwin trees bear when six years old, 
if proper cross-pollination with other varieties is 
secured. (See illustration, p. 9.)
