Rome Beauty. *S eeps in good condition till 
----=— May and June. Large, round; 
mottled and striped in different shades of red; 
flavor and quality way above the average; 
appearance and size are its valuable points; 
always sells and always brings good prices. With 
an established reputation due to real merit, Rome 
Beauty is a variety eastern orchardists should 
plant largely. Good grower; blooms late; bears 
heavily every year; is adapted to a wide range of 
soils, elevations and conditions. In Ohio, Penn¬ 
sylvania, New York and West Virginia, will make 
more money than some of the sorts which are 
now a large part of the total number of trees in 
commercial orchards. Reliability, due to being 
frostproof, strong-growing and sure-bearing, make 
it a favorite with the grower. Fine quality for use 
and for handling make it popular with consumers 
and dealers. When packed in boxes, shows up 
splendidly. 
Salome. Winter. Pale yellow mottled and blushed 
with pinkish red. 
Smokehouse. Fall. A large Apple of superfine 
flavor, excellent for eating; yellowish green mot¬ 
tled with dull red and with many russet dots; 
flesh firm, crisp, juicy and aromatic. Tree large, 
vigorous and reliably productive. 
Spitzenburg. Winter. In certain sections of the 
East succeeds splendidly and is standard in the 
West. Grows very finely when well fed and cared 
for. Medium-sized, round; dark red almost all 
over; firm, crisp, subacid, slightly aromatic. One 
of the richest flavored of all Apples, and very 
handsome. Spitzenburg can not be beaten when 
grown under conditions it prefers. Be sure you 
are in the right location, then do not hesitate to 
plant it in any amount.

Scott’s Winter. Winter. Pale yellow, mottled 
and striped with dark red. 
Smith’s Cider. Winter. Yellow, striped with red. 
Springdale. Winter. Dark red; fine quality. 
Sts.Fr. Early fall. A particularly attractive large 
— - Apple, with bright, yellowish, smooth skin 
sometimes marked with a faint blush and nu¬ 
merous russet dots; flesh yellow, fine, very 
tender, crisp, juicy, aromatic and of extra-fine 
quality. Tree is a vigorous grower, comes into 
bearing when quite young, and yields large crops 
annually. It is an extra-good variety for a filler, 
and the fruit, coming into market when Apples 
are eagerly looked for, always [brings good prices. 
Where it will grow properly, it is a most valua¬ 
ble variety to grow, and is confidently recom¬ 
mended to those with nearby markets. 
Stark* Winter. Long keeper and a reliable 
— commercial sort. Fruit large, round, 
greenish yellow, with red stripes; flesh yellow, 
crisp, and mildly acid. Tree a regular bearer; 
reliable and satisfactory in an orchard; grows 
even and regular; seldom splits or breaks. Has 
been planted in the East and in California to a 
considerable extent during the past twenty 
years, and these trees have given this variety 
the reputation of being dependable, even while 
it is not best quality. One of the strongest 
rowers we have, even more so than Northern 
py. Desirable trees to top-work other sorts on. 
Strawberry (Chenango). Summer. Yellow, almost 
entirely overspread with bright carmine. 
Summer Rambo. Summer and fall. A large, 
handsome Apple, yellowish green striped and 
splashed with red, flesh crisp, tender, very 
good. Tree vigorous and a heavy bearer.
