* We practice what 
we preach by having a 
commercial orchard 
that contains every 
variety in bearing that 
we propagate in o”r 
nursery from which 
we select oxr scion 
wood. 
Yellow Delicious. Similar in size and 
shape to the common red Delicious; not quite 
so pointed, more acid in flavor, fine quality; 
good keeper if allowed to ripen well. An 
extremely early and heavy bearer. Does not 
scab or blotch easily, and needs light spray¬ 
ing. We have bearing trees to- secure our 
scion wood from and our trees of this va¬ 
riety are genuine Yellow Delicious. 
Paducah. Here is one of the most beauti¬ 
ful early fall apples we have ever seen, ripen¬ 
ing about Sept. 1-10. Perhaps a seedling of 
the Rome Beauty, originating near Paducah, 
Kentucky, several years ago. Shape similar 
to Rome, deep red with splashes and stripes 
coloring well all over. Quality good and a 
regular and heavy bearer. Many of our 
growers are interested in this variety and are 
planting heavy where there is a demand for 
an early, red colored, dependable, fall variety 
of high quality. 
Delicious 
WINESAP ONE OF THE LEAD 
F~d Roman Beauty. An improved strain 
of Roman Beauty with the introduction of a 
beautiful solid red color. A late bloomer, it 
starts bearing young and may be depended 
upon for a-generous crop each year. 
Arkansas Black. An Arkansas apple, re¬ 
sembling the Winesap, only larger; medium 
size, dark red, flesh yellow, firm and crisp; 
sub-acid. Recommended as a long-keeping 
market apple for the Middle, Southern and 
Western states. December to May. 
Winesap. One of the oldest and most pop¬ 
ular American apples, medium size, hand¬ 
some, dark red; rich pleasing flavor; firm, 
good shipper and one of the best keepers. 
Well known on all markets, where it com¬ 
mands top prices. November to May. 
Stayman Winesap. A seedling of Wine¬ 
sap, originating at Leavenworth, Kan., with 
the late Dr. J. Stayman. Dark rich red, in¬ 
distinctly striped. Flesh firm, fine-grained, 
crisp, juicy and very tender; rich sub-acid; 
quality the very best. Tree a stronger grower 
than Winesap; a drouth resister, and will 
thrive on most any soil. A more regular 
bearer than Winesap, hangs longer, and keep 
fully as well, and in quality is far superior. 
Should go into every orchard. 
Jonathan. A brilliant dark red apple of 
excellent quality; tender, spicy, rich and 
juicy. It is excellent for home use and al¬ 
ways brings the highest prices on the market. 
It is one of the most popular varieties for 
commercial planting. October to March. 
Delicious. A very large, beautiful, and as 
named, a very delicious apple. Tree rather 
upright. Crisp, very juicy, good keeper. 
Cooks easily and requires no sugar. It is 
an ‘‘all-purpose” apple. A king commer¬ 
cially. Fine for dessert. There are many 
good apples, but if you want the best you 
want Delicious.
