This variety is one of the most widely distributed and best 
known American apples. Its prevailing color is bright deep red 
striped and blotched with dark purple. The ground color being 
golden yellow which with a smooth, glossy texture of soft bloom,

for this reason is recommended for more Southern orchards.

very large; color clear pale yellow or greenish, mottled and 
blushed with bright deep red; flesh rather coarse, juicy, tender,

YELLOW DELICIOUS 
No apple upon introduction ever attracted wider attention 
from fruit growers and the public generally than this variety. It 
is similar to Grimes Golden in color, size and quality, but slightly 
more mild, larger, and even better of flavor than that variety.

crops. It seems best adapted to a long growing season, much 
difficulty from shrivelling in storage having been experienced 
when gathered prematurely. 
FALL APPLES

apples are of good size, fine quality and attractive yellow color¬ 
ing, faintly streaked with bright red. The flesh is white, firm, 
tender, juicy, mild, sub-acid and very aromatic. Its thin skin makes

flavor recommend it highly for home use. The trees are early and 
prolific bearers, hardy, long-lived, and usually annual in bearing.
