Two Wonderful Apples 
Description on 
Solid Red Delicious 
Truly a Richer Red—Solid Red—Delicious Apple. The Most 
Beautiful Apple—Ripens Early—Highest Price. 
You remember the extreme popular¬ 
ity of the common Delicious when first 
introduced, and its only handicap was 
color. In the Richared we have the 
same high quality, shape and size. 
Delicious coloring all over, solid red, 
two weeks before the ordinary Deli¬ 
cious is ready to pick and the only 
distinguishing difference from the fa¬ 
miliar Delicious type is its glorious, 
rich, solid red color, instead of the 
usual pale striped appearance. Rich¬ 
ared is a new type developed from the 
original parent, all red Delicious apple 
tree discovered in 1910 among a group 
of some 400 ordinary Delicious trees 
in Wenatchee, Washington. Fifteen 
years of grafting and experimentation 
brought the Richared to market pro¬ 
duction first in 1925. Since then it 
has captured the Delicious markets, the 
public favor, and the first place as a 
profit produced for orchardists. The 
Richared can be picked earlier and 
kept better and you will have few wind¬ 
falls. According to government market 
reports it can be marketed fully two 
weeks before the common Delicious, 
bringing fifty cents more per box. 
The public is beginning to know that 
color improves the quality of an apple, 
in a red variety. Besides the quality 
of the Richared its beautiful appear¬ 
ance will make the buyers clamor for 
this new wonder apple, and we are put¬ 
ting it mildly when we say the Rich¬ 
ared is the Delicious Supreme. It will 
be many years before there can be pro¬ 
duction to meet the demand of the 
Richared and the growers who are 
farsighted enough will profit on their 
investments.
