SCHOHARIE, NEW YORK

FAMEUSE (Snow). An old and well-known variety. 
Fruit medium in size. Color, pale greenish yellow 
mixed with stripes of red, with splashes of same on 
shady side. Flesh white, tender and juicy, slightly 
perfumed. Flavor, subacid, extra good. Tree a 
moderate grower, productive. Very hardy. Valuable 
variety for Northern sections. Season, October to 
December. 
RHODE ISLAND GREENING. Fruit large and 
smooth, dark green overspread with yellow. Flesh 
tender, rich, rather acid, but highly flavored and 
excellent. Tree vigorous and spreading. A heavy, 
constant bearer, and reliably self-fertile. Season, 
December to March. 
GRAVENSTEIN. Large, greenish yellow to orange 
yellow, with stripes of light and dark red. Very good 
to best. Season, late September to early November. 
JONATHAN. At its best this apple is one of the most 
desirable varieties for the fancy, holiday trade. Me¬ 
dium size of very excellent quality, of a beautiful, 
brilliant red. Tree perfectly hardy but inclined to be 
biennial in bearing, and being a moderate grower 
and bearing young is recommended as a "filler,” 
and to be given high culture. 
KENDALL. By far the most attractive of the McIntosh 
seedlings. The apples are large, trim, handsomely 
colored over the entire surface with dark red covered 
with a rich bloom. They possess the whitish fine¬ 
grained flesh of McIntosh but have a more sprightly 
flavor. Fruits hang better than McIntosh. 
KING. Worthy of its name in every sense, except as to 
hardiness of tree stock. Glutted markets have no 
effect on selected King apples. Ready November to 
March. Red on a yellow background. Showy, of 
largest size, and of high quality. It is truly fruit ‘‘fit 
for a king.” 
MclNTOSH RED. Large, red all over. Good keeper. 
Tree very hardy and vigorous. Middle of October. 
Bears young. 
MclNTOSH EARLY. Of most beautiful appearance, 
extra high quality, deep wine-red color, and for a 
September apple, large size and long keeping. Its 
only faults are a too tender skin and a tendency to 
part from the stem the very day it has colored. 
MACOUN (Late McIntosh). A new variety of Mc¬ 
Intosh which harvests even later than the McIntosh. 
Probably will be an important commercial variety. 
MILTON. A handsome new apple of McIntosh type. 
Fruit pinkish-red with tender, crisp, white flesh. 
Ripens a month ahead of McIntosh. 
NORTHERN SPY. An excellent and leading com¬ 
mercial variety in the colder states. Fruit large and 
attractive, bright red-striped overspread with a 
delicate bloom. Very tender, crisp and so juicy it is 
not good for evaporating. Season, November to 
March. Late in coming into bearing. 
PERU RED SPY. See back cover for full description. 
RED NORTHERN SPY. New type of Northern Spy 
Solid red. Very desirable for market. December. 
OPALESCENT. A handsome apple. Introduced 1899. 
Tender and juicy. Flardy, healthy and productive. 
December to March. 
ORLEANS is of the Delicious type, but the fruits are 
more attractive in appearance and run larger. While 
Orleans comes in season about with Delicious, it 
keeps in common storage 6 weeks longer. The fruit 
has the same rich delicious taste that characterizes 
Delicious—another "improved Delicious."

POUND SWEET. Sometimes called Pumpkin Sweet. 
Greenish yellow apple of large size. October to 
January. 
RED ASTRACHAN. Fruit above medium, greenish 
yellow, almost covered with striped crimson. Flesh 
white, crisp, juicy, brisk acid,- good. Tree upright, 
spreading, vigorous growth. An early and abundant 
bearer. Season, July. 
ROME BEAUTY, RED. Large sized handsomely col¬ 
ored apple. Especially adapted to Southeastern New 
York and New Jersey. November. 
GOLDEN RUSSET. A delicious dessert apple from 
March till July. Color, dull green under a heavy 
brown russet with bronze red blush. Flesh greenish 
yellow, of good to very good quality, being sprightly, 
subacid and tender, though rather dry. Tree perfectly 
hardy, fine grower and bearer, but distinctively self- 
sterile, requiring to be inter-planted. 
SPITZENBURG. Large, bright, purplish red shaded 
with yellow. Flesh firm. Juicy and spicy,- of fine 
quality. Thrives in Northern localities. 
STAYMAN WINESAP. One of the finest apples for 
fancy trade. Of uniformly handsome appearance Fruit 
when well colored a deep, almost purplish red. 
Flesh yellow, firm and crisp, of a distinctive, mildly 
subacid flavor and inclined to be dry. Tree a favorite 
in the Middle West and South, but will grow and do 
well almost anywhere. A reliable annual bearer, 
beginning young. December to May. 
TOLMAN SWEET. Probably the best sweet, winter 
apple. A splendid baker and fair dessert fruit of its 
mid-winter class. Medium size, a beautiful even 
yellow, sometimes tinged with red. Flavor rich and 
very sweet. Tree perfectly hardy and a prolific 
bearer. 
TWENTY OUNCE. In the East still the standard, late 
fall apple by virtue of its many excellent charac¬ 
teristics. The fruit is extra large, rich yellow, back¬ 
ground striped and splashed with red. Unsurpassed 
for all cooking purposes. The tree thrives on a great 
variety of soils and exposures. 
WASHINGTON CO. STRAWBERRY. A good var¬ 
iety for home use. Large sized fruits of good color. 
FHardy. September and October.
