18 HARRISONS’ NURSERIES, BERLIN, MARYLAND 
APPLES, 
Maiden Blush. Fall. One of the most beautiful; 
pale lemon with crimson cheek; flesh white, 
tender and crisp. An old-time favorite which is 
still one of the most popular Apples. Tree vigorous 
and good bearer. 
Mann. Winter. Large, roundish; flesh yellowish, 
juicy, hard and firm. 
McIntosh Red. 
Fall. A Canadian Apple; 
_keeps long, but 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. Fruit tender, juicy, 
subacid. Quick and spreading grower; long-lived; 
bears big crops. McIntosh Red is the Apple now 
making Montana’s Bitter Root Valley famous. 
There, as well as in New England, New York and 
Michigan, its high quality and attractive appear¬ 
ance put it in the lead. It is extra good for all 
the higher and colder sections. Trees bear in 
three and four years, and make fine fillers. 
Missouri Pippin. Winter. A rich red with darker 
red stripes. 
Myrick. Fall. A large, yellow Apple thickly striped 
and overlaid with crimson. 
Nero® Here i s an Apple possessing great merit, 
—- 2 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 i 
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.

Srw Winter. Old standby sort 
iNortnern spy. from West virg i n i a north. 
Large; bright, light red and yellow; flesh juicy, 
rich, crisp, 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 appearance and superfine quality give 
it first rank for fancy trade, and when welf 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. Winter. 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 2 as with other 
standard sorts, due to blossoming early. Ex¬ 
tremely hardy, vigorous; bears very young. 
Especially 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. 
Paradise Winter Sweet. Winter. Large;. dull 
green, with brownish red flush; flesh fine-grained, 
juicy and sweet. Tree vigorous and productive, 
but not an early bearer. 
Pewaukee. Winter. Medium to large; flesh yellow¬ 
ish, juicy, aromatic. 
Porter. Winter. Bright yellow, with faint blush 
and darker stripes. 
Rambo. Fall. An old standard Apple, medium¬ 
sized; yellow, streaked with dull red; flesh tender, 
crisp and good. Tree a regular and constant 
bearer, strong and vigorous. 
Rawle’s Janet. Winter. Large; yellow, striped 
with red. 
Red Astrachan. J . uI y and August. Medium 
— ' — . - size; yellow, with large, 
dark red patches; flesh decidedly acid and juicy; 
excellent for cooking. A handsome Apple, selling 
for a good price. Tree vigorous and very hardy, 
and a very heavy bearer every other year; succeeds 
well under Atlantic coast conditions south of 
New York. It is extensively grown through 
Delaware, Maryland, the Virginias, etc., at the 
lower elevations. Many New York and New 
England growers, however, find Red Astrachan 
a good kind. Their nearness to large markets is 
in favor, because of its extreme earliness. 
Rhode Island Greeninq® Midwinter. 
——— —--- - -— Large; green¬ 
ish yellow; flattened but nearer round than 
Pewaukee. Flesh crisp, juicy, quite acid, of very 
fine flavor and quality. Most of the money made 
in the East with winter Apples during the last 
generation came from Rhode Island Greening, 
Spy and Baldwin. These have been standard 
commercial varieties in New York and New 
England for a generation. 
Rolfe. Fall and winter. Medium to large; pale 
yellow flushed and sometimes striped with red.
