King David 
A cross between Jonathan and Winesap giving it 
the very highest breeding. Trees grow into perfect 
shape with very little pruning. The apples are medium 
size and grow well distributed over the trees. The 
apples are such a lively intense red that no one can 
pass a basket of these apples without being attracted 
to them. Gets ripe in the fall and will keep for weeks 
in ordinary storage. After being off the trees a few 
days becomes excellent quality. The trees are fast 
growers and begin bearing at three years, sometimes 
two. 
Smoke House or Bledsoe 
An outstanding apple for the South. A tree set and 
well taken care of will often bear the second year. The 
apples are very large, flat, striped. Owing to the fact 
that it comes in when fruit is usually scarce it sells 
good. It is fine for cooking. A large Smoke House 
apple baked and with sugar and butter is fine enough 
for any one. They will always sell. 
Golden Delicious 
Trees, upright growers. The apples are large golden 
yellow with red cheeks. Looks like it is a cross between 
Grimes Golden and Maiden’s Blush. This apple grown 
near Goldthwaite and boxed, sold during the Dallas 
Fair at $3.00 per bushel making the grower $6.00 per
