A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
Redfield —an apple for the lawn and other ornamental plantings because of 
its large, very dark pink flowers which are perhaps the darkest and 
handsomest of any species of Malus. The fruit is medium in size, dark deep 
solid red in color, with deep red flesh. The foliage is dark with a reddish 
green tinge early in the season. This and Redford are two very desirable 
ornamentals. 
Redford —a sister of Redfield and similar in all characters of tree and fruit. 
Redford, however, has perhaps the largest and showiest flowers of any 
pink-flowered Malus species yet to be discovered. The petals are deep pink 
but not as dark as those of Redfield. The fruit is medium in size, deep 
dark solid red, with deep red flesh. The foliage has a characteristic red¬ 
dish green tinge early in the season. Lovers of handsome ornamental 
apples will plant this sort and Redfield. 
Carlton —ripens one month later than Red Astrachan which it resembles. It 
is large, round-conic, and an attractive dark red. The flesh is white, tender, 
juicy, subacid, and of Astrachan flavor. The tree is vigorous and bears 
annually. Carlton is recommended for home use and for roadside markets. 
Cortland —the fruits of Cortland and its parent McIntosh are similar, but 
those of Cortland are more oblate, average larger, and are more uniform 
in size; they have more color and the red is lighter and brighter and the 
stripings and splashes are laid on differently; the taste of Cortland is much 
like that of McIntosh altho distinctive; the flesh is firmer but just as juicy; 
the apples do not drop so readily and ship better. Cortland is the best apple 
introduction of the twentieth century. 
Crimson Beauty —a very early red apple from Nova Scotia. Tree is hardy, 
productive and an annual bearer. The fruit is large, slightly flattened, 
sprightly and good in quality. Of value for roadside trade and the home. 
Early McIntosh —resembles its McIntosh parent in appearance but is less 
aromatic and more sprightly. The red is handsome; the uniform round- 
oblate shape is most attractive and permits packing in various packages 
in which apples fit well and look well. The trees are vigorous, hardy, 
healthy, productive and bear annually if thinned early and severely. The 
light color of the wood and the leaf betoken Yellow Transparent; the shape 
and frame work of the tree, especially the heavy-butted branches, are like 
those of McIntosh. The crop ripens 10 days later than that of Yellow 
Transparent. 
Kendall —the last McIntosh seedling to be introduced, is very promising. It 
is handsomely colored over the entire surface with dark red covered with 
a rich bloom. It has attracted more attention from fruit growers than any 
other new apple. Its season is about that of McIntosh, but it keeps a little 
longer. The apples are large, trim in outline, and possess the whitish, fine¬ 
grained flesh of McIntosh. The flavor is much the same but more sprightly 
than that of McIntosh. The apples hang better than McIntosh but not as 
well as Cortland.
