THE APPLE IS THE KING OF FRUITS! 
And Greening Bud Selection Makes Apple Growing More Profitable 
Royal favorites of the American table, good commercial apples are a safe, highly profitable investment for any grower. Here Bud 
Selection is important—retaining all desirable qualities of tree and fruit, preventing deterioration usually caused by budding from 
transitional trees mixed with undesirable variations. And, since all varieties tend to deteriorate, it is of greatest importance that propa¬ 
gating buds be taken from sources of KNOWN desirability. For these reasons, following lists of Greening BUD SELECTED apple trees 
offer you your choice of the best quality stock available, stock of KNOWN performance, and with all of the desirable characteristics 
that spell better crops, bigger profits. 
Name after variety is name of orchard in which parent tree is located, from which propagating buds were taken. 
Summer Apples 
MELBA (Tree No. 633 Ohio State Experiment Station) —Seedling apple 
originating at the Canadian Experiment Station. Ripens about mid-August 
and is of practically the same quality and appearance as the McIntosh. 
An early apple of high quality, particularly where roadside markets 
abound. 
RED ASTRACHAN (Springer) —A red selection. Splendid Summer apple, 
of sub-acid flavor. Fine color and shape. Flesh fine-grained, crisp, tender, 
juicy. Good grower, bearing rather young. Reliable cropper. Excellent 
for home or local market. Season, late July to September. 
SWEET BOUGH (Luplow) —Maintains original standard of quality. Flesh 
tender, honey sweet. Excellent quality. Large, handsome, smooth, some¬ 
times faintly blushed. Best for home or local trade. Season, August and 
early September. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT (Miller) —Outstanding yellow Summer apple. 
Tall growing type preferred in this variety. Parent tree habitually bears 
good crops of large fruit annually. Fruit uniform in shape and size. Skin 
smooth, waxy, pale greenish yellow changing to yellowish white. Flesh 
fine grained, crisp, tender, juicy. Season late July and August. 
Autumn Apples 
CHENANGO, SCARLET (Ballard) —This improved strain gives a beautiful 
color to a heretofore unattractively colored variety. In its season, this new 
colored Chenango is an outstanding apple in taste, odor and appearance 
Size, medium to large,- color, scarlet as the name implies. An early and 
regular bearer. Very profitable apple to grow for local and special 
market. Season, latter part of August and September. 
DUCHESS (Oldenberg) —See Red Duchess. 
MAIDEN BLUSH (Wark No. 2) —A true type Maiden Blush. Color, 
beautiful pale lemon yellow with crimson cheek. Comes into bearing 
young and is a reliable cropper. Fruit medium to above average size, 
often very large. Uniform in size and shape. Crisp, tender, very juicy, 
and sub-acid in flavor. Excellent in quality. Season, September to Nov¬ 
ember. 
RAMBO (Farnsworth)— Typ ical old fashioned type Rambo fully up-to-the- 
standards of the olden days. In this selection we have maintained the 
original true characteristics of this variety. The fruit is medium to large 
and uniform in size and shape. Color, pale greenish yellow mottled with 
red, striped with carmine. The flesh is firm, fine, very crisp, tender, juicy 
and mildly sub-acid. Season, October and November. Its season in 
chemical cold storage extends to February. 
RED DUCHESS (Kiester)— This is an improved color strain. The color type 
is solid red with indistinct stripes. The added color makes it an unusually 
attractive fruit. Profitable commercial variety as well as good home use 
variety. Excellent culinary qualities. Tree unusually hardy, vigorous and a 
very reliable cropper. The fruit is very uniform in size and quality. Flesh 
yellow, firm. Slightly sub-acid and aromatic. Season, August to September. 
Winter Apples 
BALDWIN, SCARLET (Ruall) —The fruit of this parent tree is very highly 
colored and much brighter in appearance than the ordinary Baldwin. The 
blossoms have pink stamens and pistils. The parent tree of this strain is 
spreading in growth habit, with drooping branches, indicating heavy 
production. Where a highly colored Baldwin is desired, this strain is 
unsurpassed. The fruit is large, uniform in size and the skin is tough, 
smooth and very attractive. The Resh is firm, crisp and rather tender and 
juicy. Agreeably sub-acid. Quality is very good and the season extends 
from November to March or April; to May or later in cold storage. 
BALDWIN (Spencer No. 2)— This remarkable strain of the Baldwin apple 
is early and annual bearing. The parent tree is low spreading, pyramidal 
in shape. It produced four bushels of fruit when only seven years old, 
followed by annual crops. The total yield for the next ten years was one 
hundred and fifty bushels. The size of the fruit is large and the color 
typical of the variety. A check tree growing in the same orchard with 
the parent tree is a tall growing and round top tree. It came into produc¬ 
tion later than the parent tree, is a bi-annual bearer and during the same 
The ••Million 
years produced only eighty bushels of apples. It is very obvious that it 
would be folly to plant ordinary Baldwin when such trees as our Spencer 
Strain are available. Earlier, annual bearing and increased production 
resulting in greater profits. Season and quality of fruit same as the Ruall 
Strain described on this page. 
CANADA RED— See Steele s Red 
CORTLAND (Lyman) —Cortland is an improved late McIntosh. The fruits 
of the two varieties 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 can hardly be distinguished from that of 
McIntosh; the flesh is firmer but just as juicy,- the season is several weeks 
later; the apples do not drop so readily and ship better. The buds for this 
Lyman Strain Cortland were taken from top-grafted trees. The scions grew 
very vigorously and bore when young. 
DELICIOUS —See Solid Red Delicious. 
FAMEUSE (SNOW) (Spencer) —This Super-Selected Strain of Fameuse 
also known as Snow is a red striped color type which carries more color 
than ordinary Snow apples. Combined with this is extra size. We regard 
this as an ideal type of striped Fameuse. The fruit is beautiful in appearance, 
of medium size. The skin is thin, tender, smooth and very attractive. The 
flesh is snow white, very tender, juicy, sub-acid. It is considered a very 
good dessert apple but not recommended for culinary purposes. The 
fruit hangs well to the tree. Season, October to mid-Winter. See also 
Solid Red Snow. 
GALLIA BEAUTY (Ohio No. 16) —A superior color variation from the 
Rome Beauty. Fruit has the characteristic shape and quality of the original 
type. The color type is solid red without stripes, and is unusually attractive. 
Our propagating buds came from a progeny test tree growing at the 
Ohio State Experiment Station, Wooster, Ohio. This variety is far more 
attractive, therefore, more salable and should supersede Rome Beauty in 
new plantings. The fruit is large, smooth, handsome, uniform in size and 
shape. Thick skinned, therefore, ships and keeps well. Thrives best in 
Ohio and Indiana, Southern Michigan and Southern New York. The tree 
is very vigorous, coming into bearing early with a heavy annual crop. 
Because of its long stems and flexible branches, the fruit remains well on 
the tree during high winds. Season, November to February. 
GREENING —See Rhode Island Greening and Northwestern Greening. 
GRIMES GOLDEN (Joehrendt)— This selection was made because of the 
tremendous yields and the large size of the fruit produced by the parent 
tree. In spite of over-loads, the size has always been above the average 
for the variety. The average Grimes Golden weighs AYi ounces and 
measures 2H inches. Fruit from this Joehrendt parent tree averages 6H 
ounces and measures 3H inches in diameter. It also bears much larger 
annual crops than the ordinary Grimes Golden and it is by far the finest 
and most profitable that has ever been introduced. The color of the fruit 
is a deep yellow, the flesh is yellow, very firm, tender, crisp, sub-acid 
and moderately juicy. It is an excellent variety for either dessert or culinary 
purposes. One of the best pure yellow Winter apples and fine for the 
commercial as well as the home orchard. We can supply these trees in 
either top-grafted or low budded. Season, November to February. 
JONATHAN (Anderson No. 1) —The characteristics of the parent tree 
of this strain are early bearing and heavy annual production of excep¬ 
tionally large sized fruit. A check tree growing in the same orchard and 
a typical ordinary Jonathan tree, of equal size and growing under iden¬ 
tical conditions and care, took two years longer to come into bearing. 
This check tree has produced less than one-half of the fruit that the parent 
tree has and the fruit has always been small which is characteristic of the 
Jonathan variety. Over the same period the parent tree produced 38/4 
bushels of fruit, the average of which was 6^4 ounces, whereas the check 
tree produced but 14 1/5 bushels and the average size being 4.72 
ounces. We have corrected the only fault of the Jonathan thereby in- 
creasirig the profits of those who plant it. The color of the fruit is an 
attractive bright red, the Resh is white, firm, crisp, tender, juicy, aromatic 
and sprightly sub-acid; in all, a very beautiful apple, highly Ravored, 
either for dessert or culinary uses. One of the most desirable varieties 
for the fancy trade at holiday season.
