THE NEW“G RAHAMMU.S. Plant Patent No.278)

The new Graham is so outstanding in all desirable characteristics that we 
have patented the variety. The apple originated in the orchard of the 
Manistee Orchard Company, one of the largest in Michigan, containing over 
ten thousand apple trees and was named for Mr. Thomas Graham, President 
of the Company. It originated as a whole tree variation of Northern Spy 
and is similar to Northern Spy in the growth characteristics of the tree 
and in the size, shape and general appearance of the fruit. The apples 
mature earlier in the season and should bo harvested soon after McIntosh. 
They store well and arc especially good for cooking and for pies, retain¬ 
ing their exquisite flavor*. The color is deep crimson, both deeper and 
brighter than Northern Spy, and while the original strain varied from an 
ordinary striped type to more attractive red-striped end solid rod forms, 
we are propagating only the more dosirablo solid red forms through Bud 
Selection. Attention was first called to the original tree when it pro¬ 
duced a full crop of nine bushels when it was eleven years old#
