Ripens jdirln laic. >^ki)i r/oUlen pcUoic. Flesh pclloic. 
Flavor rich and spicy; slightly acid 
Usimlly known as “Griinos Golden,” this apple bolds a reputa¬ 
tion away aliead o£ most fall apples because of its appearance 
and flavor. It is not unusual for Grimes to bring h'om oO to 75 
cents more per busbel than other apples. 
THE FLAVOR IS EXCELLENT 
and many people feel about this apple as otbers do about Golden 
llantam corn : ‘Tt's worth tbe dilTereuce at any price.” The re¬ 
sult is that it brings higher prices, which means more money in 
yotir pocket. 
In the vicinity of Philadelphia. Grimes will be ready for use 
some time in September, but unless prices are exceptional it 
should be left on the trees until somewhat later, as tbe flavor will 
be considerably improved. 
USE GRIMES AS A FILLER 
It comes into bearing before most of the permanent trees and 
will help to bear the orchard expenses before the other trees pro¬ 
duce any fruit. Blossoming rather late in the spring, the late 
frosts seldom do any harm, and the tree is able to set fruit nearly 
every year. 
If the fruit is carefully packed in boxes, instead of barrels, the 
sale will be greatly increased, as the customer will find the golden 
color and attractive aroma too tempting to pass by. The smaller 
I)ackage helps the sale, as it is easy to say '•Send home a box,” 
whereas if they are packed in a barrel, there is some indecision 
on the part of the buyer as to just how many apples he needs. 
A HOME AND MARKET VARIETY 
Grimes has the great advantage of being as good for the home 
as it is when intended for long shipment. It cannot be surpassed 
for cooking or table use. The keeping qualities are good; the 
quality of the fruit will be found unimpaired in January and 
February. It makes no difference whetlier you are after a 
strictly high-class market trade or desire just a few trees for your 
garden, you should itlaut Grimes.
