WINTER APPLES 
♦CORTLAND - The fruits of Cortland and 
its parent, McIntosh, are similar,but 
those of Cortland average larger and 
are more uniform in size; they have 
more color,and the red is lighter and 
brighter; the taste of Cortland is 
much like that of McIntosh,although 
distinctive; the flesh is firmer,but 
Just as juicy. The apples do not drop 
so readily and ship better. Cortland 
is one of the best apple intro¬ 
ductions of the twentieth century. 
Hardy. October to January. 
SOLID RED DELICIOUS - This is a new red 
Delicious that colors solid red and 
over, rather than in stripes like 
common Delicious, It colors earlier 
and can be picked while in prime con¬ 
dition, and thereby keeps better than 
Delicious which quite often is left 
on the tree longer than it should be 
in order to get the desired color.The 
tree and habits of bearing the same 
as Delicious. 
YELLOW DELICIOUS - It should be in 
every family orchard, where adapted, 
as it bears young and the fruit is 
splendid quality. It is not related 
to the other Delicious, but is prob¬ 
ably a seedling of the Grimes Golden 
as it shows the family relation very 
plainly both in tree and in fruit. 
The tree is more upright, yet it re¬ 
sembles the Grimes very closely. The 
fruit is very much the same as Grimes 
both in color and in flavor. The 
season is about the same,being at its 
best in late fall and early winter, 
yet it can be kept much longer under 
special care. Is apparently as hardy 
as Grimes. Plant in eastern Nebraska, 
south half of Iowa and south and east. 
GANG - This variety is supposed to be a 
cross between Ben Davis and Jonathan, 
It resembles Ben Davis very closely 
both in tree and fruit, except the 
color in which the red is evenly 
overspread and shows no Inclination 
to be striped. In hardiness, keeping 
qualities and season, it is very sim¬ 
ilar to Ben Davis. This variety is 
preferred by some commercial growers 
on account of its better color. 
December to April. 
GRIMES (GRIMES GOLDEN) - Medium to 
large,bright yellow, with pink cheek; 
flesh fine-grained,juicy, with a very 
pleasing spicy flavor. For pies, 
sauce and dumplings, is excellent . 
Very good eating apple. Keeps in 
storage until January, 
♦HARALSON - A production of Minnesota, 
of Russian strain,and probably one of 
the best keepers of this class of ap¬ 
ples. Large; red very attractive. In 
Dakota, northern Iowa, and Minnesota, 
it is decidedly a winter apple and 
promises to be a very good keeper. It 
should be planted in the family 
orchard in northern Nebraska,northern 
Iowa, Dakota, Minnesota, and Wyoming. 
It seems to stand the climatefdlly 
as well as any of the Russian vari¬ 
eties and is the first real winter 
variety yet introduced for that terr¬ 
itory. It will grow all over Nebraska 
and, in fact, all over our territory, 
but it is especially adapted for the 
North euid West, and there is where it 
should be used. 
JONATHAN - This variety is probably 
better known to average consumers of 
dessert apples than any other vari¬ 
ety. It is recognized on all markets 
of the country as one of the best 
among the few leaders of high quality 
eating apples. The fruit is medi\im 
size, red and beautiful. * The tree is 
slightly slow of growth when young, 
but grows stronger as it attains age; 
it bears young and abundantly. It is 
quite hardy and thrives in all of the 
Central West except in the drier 
portions of the northwest part. 
Season, November to February.
