THE POLLY EADES APPLE (Continued) 
tion until eaten by some friends, fruit growers, Christmas. To whom I exclaimed, “Eat 
a July apple in January!” 
Another storage test was made in 1921 when these apples were placed in storage in 
July; taken out in September for four days; placed in storage again and kept in good con¬ 
dition until February, 1922. This is one of the most remarkable apples yet introduced. 
We have made storage tests of the Polly Eades every year since 1915 and have kept 
them till mid-winted. We do not recommend this variety to keep like winter varieties, 
but its storage qualities for a summer variety will enable the grower to have time to 
orderly market his crop over a longer period and obtain the highest prices. 
It ripens after the earlier varieties are gone and before the fall varieties are ready 
and fills this ripening gap. 
Some have asked why we have not roared this apple from coast to coast. We are 
modest in saying growers who plant the Polly Eades now will cash in on its immense 
popularity. It is the finest summer variety that has yet been introduced and the greatest 
find for those who want a commercial summer apple. To protect the interest of the fruit 
growers we have “Trade Marked” the Polly Eades and you can only obtain the genuine 
trees from our nursery. Read the indorsements and plant the Polly Eades for sure profit.
