Harrisons' Nurseries, Berlin, Maryland 
cold storage apple, strong demand for carload shipments 
of Baldwins to European and South American markets. 
Brings high prices on foreign markets; also popular on the 
New England and Northern States markets. Grows to per¬ 
fection in New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan 
and Canada, but should not be planted South of the Mason- 
Dixon line. Baldwin is the leading commercial variety in 
the Northern States. 
Ben Davis—Winter, fine looking, large, round; yellow with 
red stripes; flesh white, juicy sub-acid, coarse. Good for 
cooking, but on account of poor flavor not desirable for 
fresh eating. Finest keeper known. Can be kept in cold 
storage until July. Excellent shipper, usually packed in 
barrels. Best known export apple, always in good demand 
by European, South American and Asiatic buyers; highest 
prices. Grow Ben Davis on a commercial scale for export 
trade. Tree is a rapid grower, healthy, vigorous, bears at 
an early age, heavy cropper and a sure bearer. 
Benoni—Summer, orange yellow—lively red, productive. 
CORTLAND—Fall, a promising new variety resulting from 
cross pollinization of McIntosh Red and Ben Davis, and in¬ 
heriting the good qualities of each parent. Beautiful red 
apple, approximately the same size and fine flavor of the 
McIntosh, but ripens about three weeks or a month later. 
Good keeper. Our buds were cut direct from the bearing 
Cortland in a prominent orchard at Kinderhook, New York. 
DUCHESS (Duchess of Oldenburg)—Summer. Medium 
size, red striped, flesh white, juicy and good flavor. Un¬ 
usually heavy bearer, very dependable cropper. You can 
depend on the Duchess to yield apples you can sell for 
good prices. Trees are natural dwarf growers and make 
fine fillers; require small root and branch space. Very 
hardy, and can be successfully grown in the Southern States 
as well as the cold climates of Minnesota, Montana and 
Canada. 
Early Harvest—Summer, very early, not a good keeper; fruit 
medium size pale yellow, tender, juicy, sub-acid. Fine for 
home orchard because of its merit as a cooking and des¬ 
sert fruit. Tree is a vigorous grower and bears early and 
regularly. 
Ensee—Winter, dull red, suggesting its Rome Beauty strain 
in size and shape; crisp, tender, yellow flesh and good 
flavor. 
Early McIntosh—Summer, red, attractive, good size; flesh 
white, fine, tender, juicy and fine flavor, being similar to 
McIntosh Red. Tree vigorous, hardy, healthy and productive. 
Fameuse (Snow)—Fall, medium size to large; deep red: 
flesh snowy white, fair flavor, sells for good prices on local 
markets, but not recommended for shipping. Most popular 
in Canada.
