IMPROVED VARIETIES of APPLES 
Early Coloring Double Red Sports 
Solid Red Apples bring more money than green ones and cost no more to grow. A large percentage 
of the crop can be packed, as fewer go into the cull pile. Plant the New Double Red Varieties for 
greater profit. 
Other than the YORKING we offer and recommend the following New Double Red Sports: 
NEW SOLID RED DUCHESS 
The Duchess continues to be a popular Fall variety but a large 
percentage of recent Duchess plantings have been of the New Double 
Red variety because it has 100 percent more color. The old Duchess 
is a good one, but is penalized by its one great fault— no color. The 
NEW SOLID RED DUCHESS colors early in the season, making 
possible early marketing, before the market is glutted with less desirable 
varieties. 
Like most of the red sports, NEW RED DUCHESS is identically 
the same as its parent with the exception of the color which appears 
early and in greater quantity. 
NEW RED STAYMAN 
RED AS THE WINESAP AND YET A STAYMAN 
The New Solid Red Stayman is a sport of the Standard Stayman. 
It has all the good qualities of the Stayman and none of its bad ones. 
Has 100 percent more color. That means twice as many No. 1 
Apples and a lot more profit. 
Does not crack on the tree or scald in storage. Even these two 
advantages would more than justify the small difference in cost. During 
rainy seasons the Stayman often cracks badly. When held late in 
storage, it scalds, while the New Red Stayman does neither 
Can you imagine a good reason for planting the Standard Stayman 
when the New Red Stayman trees can be had for a few cents more per 
tree? 
RED ROME 
THE NEW SOLID RED ROME 
A comparison of the old Rome Beauty and the NEW RED ROME, 
when graded by the Northwest Packing Rules: 
Extra Fancy Fancy “C” Grade 
RED ROME . 84% 14% 2% 
Standard Rome . 26% 61% 13% 
No further proof should be necessary to establish the advantage of 
planting New Red Rome in preference to the Standard Rome. 
Description of Red Rome: A brilliant solid red Rome Beauty that 
produces over 50 percent more Extra Fancy Apples for color grade 
than the common Rome Beauty. A beautiful Apple, it has all the 
productiveness and other characteristics of the common Rome Beauty, 
and in addition a greatly superior color. The Red Rome will probably, 
in a short time, replace the common Rome Beauty wherever the latter 
is grown. 
The old Rome Beauty has been a leading commercial variety in 
Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia. It would be planted more generally 
if it were not for its one fault— lack of color. The NEW RED ROME 
is richly colored and is taking its place. 
NEW RED SPY 
A great improvement over the old variety, Northern Spy. 
This new variety is a solid red with no stripes; this makes it possible 
for the grower to pick earlier. This new variety has all of the good 
qualities of the old Northern Spy—but the advantage of better color.
