Grimes* Golden Apple 
APPLES, continued 
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 through 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. No better sort exists 
for eating raw or for cooking, and 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. Blos¬ 
soms come late in the spring; frost seldom catches 
them. A quality Apple in every way, a quality 
orchard tree in growth, health and all char¬ 
acteristics, Grimes’ Golden is one of our few best 
sorts. We have thousands of bearing trees in our 
own orchards, showing what we think of it. 
Harrison Russet. Winter. Large; golden russet. 
Hubbardston Nonsuch. 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 in northern Pennsylvania and 
in New York is a very fine orchard tree and yields 
splendid fruit. 
Jonathan. Winter - Very !. ate keeper, which 
■■■■■ 1 —- does not attain its full flavor until 
January. Medium to large; brilliant red; very 
highly flavored, juicy, fine-grained, tender, mild, 
subacid. Quality is fine for home use and for 
marketing in large or small quantities. Will keep 
well 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, 
Maryland, 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. Always bring highest prices. 
Jefferis. Fall. Medium-sized; splashed with 
bright red. 
King (of Tompkins County). Fall. 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 largest 
Apples, and at the same time of the best 
quality. Tree is a slow grower, subject to 
disease and breakage, and not a big pro¬ 
ducer, 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. 
King David. Fall. A beautiful Apple, 
resembling Jonathan, although it is some¬ 
what . larger and of a deeper red, with 
markings of dark rich red; good quality; 
good keeper. Tree bears early and full. 
Lankford. Fall. A dull red Apple of good size. 
Lawver. Winter. Bright red; fine for market. 
Limbertwig. Fall. Handsome, large, deep red. 
Liveland Raspberry. Summer. A Russian 
Apple of large size, waxy white, marbled 
with crimson; flesh white, stained with red, 
tender and subacid. Tree vigorous, early bearer. 
Longfield. Fall. Waxen yellow, with bright blush. 
Mammoth Black Twiq. (Paragon.) 
long keeper of great value. Extra large in size 
and round; skin smooth, yellowish, covered with 
deep red, the general effect being dark red; flesh 
tender, tinged with yellow, crisp, subacid, aro¬ 
matic, of excellent quality in every way. Tree is 
vigorous and healthy, comes into bearing early 
and yields big crops every year. Dependable and 
valuable, and would be classed among the best 
half-dozen. 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. 
Mammoth Black Twig Apple tree, twelve years old, in 
Harrison Orchards. This tree bore twenty-five bushels of 
fruit when eleven years old.
