Winter 
Varieties 
BALDWIN. Large, round¬ 
ish; skin deep red; flesh 
juicy, crisp, sub-acid, 
good flavor. December to 
March. 
*BEN DAVIS. The great 
mark-t Apple of the- West 
and South, largely planted 
also in the East. One of 
the best for profit. It is a 
splendid keeper, and fine 
for cooking. December to 
April. 
*CORTLAND. A winter 
McIntosh. It is an im¬ 
proved late McIntosh. 
The fruits of the two va¬ 
rieties are similar, but 
those of Cortland average 
larger, and are more uni¬ 
form in size. They have 
much more color and the 
red is brighter. The taste 
of Cortland can hardly be 
distinguished from that of 
McIntosh. The flesh is 
firmer but just as juicy. 
Keeps until February or 
March. The apples do 
not drop as readily and 
ship better. Cortland is one of the best apple introductions of the century. 
DARK RED DELICIOUS. A Delicious Apple that has a dark red color all over, 
making it one of the most attractive Apples for the market or home use. As it 
colors before it matures, it can be picked before fully ripe. 
DELICIOUS. This variety has a delightful flavor and is an exceedingly good variety 
for either home or commercial orchard. It is a long keeping winter Apple with a 
season from December to May. The Apple is striped and marked with bright 
and dark red. The tree is a good grower, with strong branches capable of bearing 
large crops of fruit. 
JONATHAN. Medium, roundish; yellow, nearly covered with red; fine grained, tender, 
and finely flavored. November to April. Should not be planted in extreme North. 
KENDALL. Of all the McIntosh seedlings originated at the Geneva, N. Y. Station, 
Kendall, the last one introduced, is easily the most attractive. This Apple is handsomely 
colored over the entire surface with dark red covered with a rich bloom. It is attracting 
a great deal of attention from fruit growers. Its season is about that of the 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. Kendall promises to be 
the “apple of apples’’ in the McIntosh season. 
MACOUN. A late McIntosh. Produces a late crop of red-skinned, white-fleshed, richly 
flavored, aromatic, McIntosh-like apples. The season is about a month later than that 
of McIntosh. In shape, the fruits of Macoun are similar to those of McIntosh. The color 
is a dark red, less striped, and with a heavier bloom. The flesh is much the same in 
color, texture, flavor, and aroma. The trees bear regularly and heavily. Macoun comes 
in long after all other McIntosh-like apples are out of season and fills out the season 
to make certain of “a McIntosh every day in the year.” 
*McINTOSH. Origin, Ontario, Canada. Season December and January. A choice variety 
of the Fameuse type. Tree vigorous, with spreading head; a good annual bearer. Fruit 
above medium to large, highly perfumed; smooth, polished yellow, almost covered with 
brilliant solid crimson, a beautiful fruit; flesh snow-white, crisp, very tender, sprightly, 
aromatic, sub-acid; very good quality. One of the best market varieties. 
MINNESOTA No. 1007. Another new variety just introduced by the Minnesota Experi¬ 
ment Station. Medium sized, late winter Apple of a bright red color. Good quality and 
keeps until May. Hardy for Central and Northern Wisconsin. An Apple of great 
promise. 
NEWFANE. Produces large sized fruit 
of a very attractive red color. The 
shape is oblong-conic and the flesh 
tender, medium juicy, mildly flavored 
with a pronounced Delicious aroma. 
Newfane is a delicious dessert apple 
for the Christmas season. 
NORTHERN SPY. Large, roundish 
conical, often flattened, slightly ribbed; 
handsomely striped with red; flavor 
rich, aromatic, mild sub-acid, fine. 
Keeps through winte r and late into 
spring. 
^NORTHWESTERN GREENING. Or¬ 
igin, Wisconsin. Season December to 
June. Fruit large to very large; green, 
becoming yellowish green when ripe; 
flesh yellow, fine grained and firm; 
flavor a good sub-acid. 
ORLEANS. Is of the Delicious type, 
but the fruits are more attractive in 
appearance and run larger in size. It 
comes in season with Delicious but 
keeps in common storage six weeks 
longer. It has the same rich, delicious 
taste that characterizes Delicious—an 
improved Delicious. 
Wealthy 
GOLDEN RUSSET. Medium size, very tender, juicy, rich, 
October to January. 
sub-acid; high quality. 
GRIMES GOLDEN. Medium to large size, round, rich golden yellow, sprinkled 
with light gray dots; flesh crisp, tender, rich and juicy, sprightly. January to 
April. 
*GOODHUE. This variety of the famous Perkins seedlings is a splendid midwinter 
Apple. It is larger than the Red Wing, has the same color markings, only 
slightly more pronounced. 
*HARALSON. Originated at the Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. Tree vigorous, 
upright in growth and very hardy; fruit large size, colored with an even red over 
the entire surface; flesh fine grained, tender, juicy, sub-acid, good quality, young 
bearer. Keeps in common storage until early spring. Best winter variety for the 
North.
