CORTLAND 
A newer variety, Cortland has 
already proved its importance to 
the commercial orchardist. The 
tree is a cross of Ben Davis and Mc¬ 
Intosh, having all the sturdiness of 
the former and the high quality of 
the latter. Fruit is large in size, 
round in shape and attractively 
colored with its heavy overlay of 
shaded red. Tender, white, crisp, 
juicy flesh and a mild fragrant 
slightly acid flavor. Its fruit hangs 
remarkably well over long periods 
even after maturity and it stands 
up well in storage; not as easily 
bruised in handling as McIntosh. 
Truly this tree has all the charac¬ 
teristics of a market favorite.

GALLIA BEAUTY 
(Red Rome) 
An improvement on Rome Beauty that originated 
in Ohio. This apple is a brilliant solid red in color, 
rather than striped red like the parent. Flavor is 
crisp, juicy and aromatic, flesh being nearly white. 
It blooms late in May, thus eliminating danger from 
the freezing of blossoms by late frost. A dependable 
cropper, highly recommended for commercial use. 
Fruit in season from November to May. 
BALDWIN 
This is a leading commercial variety in many sections and 
well known to the housewife as a good cooking apple. Fruit uni¬ 
formly large and when well grown, highly colored, yellowish 
red and heavily shaded with deep red. Its firm texture and tough 
skin withstand shipping and storage remarkably well. Flesh yel¬ 
lowish white, crisp, tender and juicy with a pleasantly acid 
flavor. Tree a strong, vigorous, grower, long-lived and guite hardy 
somewhat tender in far Northern sections. November to March 
or April.

FAMEUSE 
Few apples are more beautiful and more refreshing to eat 
than those of Fameuse. Fruit of medium size, uniformly round. Its 
thin, tender skin is colored light to dark red with strong red stripes 
most pronounced at the apex. Flesh of snowy-whiteness, rimmed 
and flecked with crimson, is very tender, juicy, and with a mild, 
spicy aromatic flavor. Tree hardy, long-lived, and productive. Al¬ 
though its tender skin and flesh does not permit long winter stor¬ 
age, these apples find a profitable market in their season October 
to the holidays. 
JONATHAN 
This apple has a world wide reputation and is 
readily conceded a place among the very best in 
both appearance and quality. The brilliant, thin, 
tough, smooth, red skin delicately striped with car¬ 
mine and underlaid with pale yellow contrasting 
with the nearly white tender, juicy flesh; and the 
shapely round form, make it one of the most attrac¬ 
tive apples. The tree of medium size, viqorous, and 
spreading limbs, thrives on rich soil. Flesh yellow, 
crisp, tender and juicy with a pleasantly acid flavor. 
Highly valued as a table and cooking apple. Novem¬ 
ber to January or later. 
GRIMES GOLDEN 
A good apple for sections with climate comparable to Ohio, 
but losing popularity in Northern orchards where it sometimes fails 
to mature. It is also affected by increasing sales resistance, due 
to buyers preference for the red apple. Fruit round, above medium 
size, skin clear, deep yellow with dots of russet. Flesh yellowish 
white, crisp and moderately juicy, mild, sub-acid flavor. Tree vigor¬ 
ous, upright, spreading. Especially recommended for Southern 
Michigan and Ohio orchards where color is not a market factor. 
November to January. 
GOLDEN RUSSET 
This fine apple is particularly noted for its excellent keeping 
qualities where cold storage is not available. The fruit is medium 
large, smooth and uniform in shape. Its skin is thick, tender, usually 
covered with green or yellow russet, becoming golden russet with 
bronzed cheek at maturity. Flesh is yellow fine grained, rich, tender, 
juicy, sub-acid in flavor, fragrant. This fine apple is bothered but 
little by pests and is most excellent for dessert, culinary uses and 
best of all for cider.
