LOWRY 
Is Winning National Recognition 
Now one of the most popular commercial varieties wherever grown, 
the Lowry originated at a high altitude on the eastern slope of the 
Blue Ridge in Nelson County. It is possibly the most promising variety 
Virginia has ever introduced. 
The Lowry Apple is sub-acid, bordering on sweet; very juicy and 
full of sugar; of mahogany red color covered with small white specks. 
It has a semi-long stem, and is a medium heavy bearer and a sure one. 
The yield of the Lowry will be as large as that of any other variety 
grown commercially in this section. The tree is a strong grower and an 
early bearer. 
For many years the planting of Lowry was limited to Virginia, but 
within recent years the variety has become nationally recognized and 
it is now being planted in almost all commercial Apple sections of the 
United States. 
See page 7 for more about the Lowry 
ONE OF THE BEST APPLES GROWN 
What a large buyer and exporter says about Lowry: 
“It gives me pleasure to recommend the Lowry Apple as 
being one of the best, if not the best Apple grown both from 
the standpoint of quality and flavor and from the stand¬ 
point of price.” 
“It is a prolific bearer and good keeper. It has been my 
experience wherever this Apple has been bought that the 
purchaser always calls for it afterwards and it is one of the 
finest eating Apples I have ever known.”

NEW RED DELICIOUS 
A Super Color and Top Quality Delicious 
A MONEY MAKER 
The well known variety, the best seller of all Apples, grown com¬ 
mercially in all Apple belts in the United States. 
This variety has all of the good qualities of the Common Delicious 
—the Solid Red Delicious is fast taking the place of the common 
variety in the commercial field. The Solid Red Delicious colors 2 to 3 
weeks ahead of the common variety—a solid red with no stripes. It 
can be picked hard ripe and have its full red color. The storage qualities 
of this variety are excellent. 
This is a money maker for all growers. It can be grown in almost 
any kind of soil where any Apple will grow.

NEW RED JONATHAN 
Differs from the Standard Jonathan only by having more color and 
coloring earlier in the season. The Jonathan continues to be one of our 
most popular commercial varieties. Its color is never bad, even when 
left on the tree until full ripe, but then does not keep so well. The 
New Red Jonathan colors earlier and can be picked solid red before full 
ripe. This results in better keeping qualities and also prevents losses 
from dropping and wind storms. When considering planting Jonathan, 
by all means plant our New Double Red Strain. 
The trees arrived in extra good shape, compared to some other ship¬ 
ments I have received from other Nurseries. Thank you very much 
for the gift Roses. I think the trees have a wonderful root development. 
When I set this small orchard I got cheap one-year goods from a 
Tennessee Nursery. Some of the smallest never grew at all. Some just 
developed so slowly.
