The Ouistaiulintf KIRBY fleii Apple . . . . 
This apple was discovered on our grounds by the late C. J. Kirby, our orchard special¬ 
ist, and it is proving a variety of real merit. 
The fruit has the same qualities and ear marks of the commonly known Delicious but is 
of a solid, dark red color. It colors fifteen to twenty days before the ordinary Delicious and 
when fully colored is still quite hard and continues to hang tightly on the tree. This means 
no loss from wind falls or overripe apples. 
Kirby is a sport of the common Delicious, planted by Mr. Kirby in 1914 and has since 
been tested elsewhere and has proven to be one of the best apples for the commercial or¬ 
chard. A Michigan apple, with distinct advantages over other types of Red Delicious. It is 
truly a fruit with flavor and we highly recommend it. 
RED NORTHERN SPY 
This new variety is a decided improvement on the 
well known Northern Spy. It is more highly colored 
with a rich deep red. The size and quality is retained, 
as well as the tree characteristics. It is safe to predict 
that Red Northern Spy will supplant the original. A 
dependable cropper, bearing good and heavy an¬ 
nual crops. November to March or later. 
KING 
The fruit has a beautiful red color, with enough clearly 
contrasting yellow to make a very attractive appearance. It is 
symmetrical, uniformly large, and excellent in guality for either 
dessert or culinary uses. Tree rather slow in coming into bearing 
but once mature becomes a regular bearer. Often brings premium 
price on the market. Both for general and fancy trade. Season 
October to March. 
MACOUN 
This variety is a cross between McIntosh and Jersey Black. 
The fruit is almost identical to McIntosh in shape and flesh. Its color, 
however, is darker and more solid red. Its size is perhaps a trifle 
smaller than McIntosh. The trees bear about six weeks later than 
McIntosh and are notably productive and regular in bearing habit. 
This variety is recommended as an addition to the McIntosh market 
since it is later and appears to have as good keeping qualities. 
November to January. 
TURLEY 
A newer Winesap Seedling which originated in 
Indiana and is attracting much favorable notice in 
that State. The fruit is large and well formed, uni¬ 
formly colored throughout the tree, being a darker 
red than that of Stayman Winesap. It is expected that 
this variety will eventually surpass Stayman Wine¬ 
sap. December to May. 
MILTON 
Is a McIntosh-like apple which ripens with Wealthy and a 
month before McIntosh. Milton is the result ol a cross between 
Yellow Transparent and McIntosh made by the New York State 
Fruit Testing Association. Tree is hardy and vigorous. The fruits 
are large with pinkish-red color and a heavy bloom. The flesh is 
white, tender, crisp, juicy, and of McIntosh flavor and aroma. 
NORTHERN SPY 
The standard leading commercial variety for most apple grow¬ 
ing sections. Although late in coming into bearing, Northern Spy is 
a dependable bearer of heavy annual crops. The tree is large, 
vigorous, healthy and fairly hardy. The fruit is of highest quality, 
large or very large, excellent for all purposes. When well grown, 
the clear pale yellow ground color of the fruit is nearly concealed 
with bright pinkish red stripes. The prevailing effect is bright or 
striped red. Rarely the yellow or green color predominates. Novem¬ 
ber to March or later.
