THE WINTER¬ 
EVENING APPLE 
Grimes, or Grimes Golden, as it is familiarly known, is rated as a fall Apple. 
Along the 40th parallel (the latitude^of Philadelphia) this variety will be ready 
to use in September. A little later it improves in flavor and will keep to late 
January or early February without losing its quality. 
Few Apples Are More Profitable Commercially 
The quality of Grimes is too good for any but the very best trade. The 
grower who picks and packs this Apple with care can’t help getting good prices. 
It IS a family Apple, and ought to be packed in boxes, rather than barrels, to 
^tract the_ highest trade. No better Apple is grown for table use or for cooking. 
T. he fruit is tender, rich and spicy in flavor, slightly acid, with a deliciously 
appetizing apple odor. 
Grimes Makes a Splendid Filler 
"^he trees start to bear when quite young and will make money for you before 
the permanent trees begin to produce. The blossoms come late in spring, usu¬ 
ally ercape late frosts, and set fruit nearly every year. We believe Grimes to 
be one of the fmest commerckl Apples and eaually good for the family orchard 
We l^ck this belief by planting thousands of the trees in our own orchards on 
the Peninsula. Grimes is hardy, healthy, strong in growth, and unusually 
productive.
