Northwestern Greening 
on top this page shows apple one-half nat¬ 
ural size. Extremely hardy, vigorous 
grower; does well most anywhere, espe¬ 
cially in the North and Northwest where 
few apples of such high quality grow suc¬ 
cessfully. Keeps well, fruit is large, 
greenish yellow when ripe. One of the 
best for baking. Restaurants pay pre¬ 
mium prices for them. Ripens middle of 
October. 
Stayman's Winesap 
apple, very large, striped dark red, keeps 
well, and is in strong demand for cook¬ 
ing. Ripens in October. 
Turley Winesap ^elvier \ h r" 
the old fashioned Winesap, darker color, 
improved quality, highly flavored; keeps 
well until mid-winter; is considerably 
larger than Winesap. 
Old-Fashioned Winesap 
A good tree for home orchard. Apples lit¬ 
tle too small for market; quality is good, 
keeps well. Dark red. Tree bears heavy, 
perfectly hardy in the Middle West. Rip¬ 
ens middle of October. 
York Ttno^rifrl (Johnson’s Fine 
lOrK unpenai winter Y. I.) This 
old-fashioned apple is rapidly coming 
back to popularity. It is a large red 
apple, tender and juicy. Perfectly hardy 
in the Middle West, also Southern Minne¬ 
sota and Wisconsin. I recommend a com¬ 
bination planting of York Imperial and 
Stayman’s Winesap for extra heavy bear¬ 
ing. Ripens first week in October. 
Missouri Pippin S'o^\h^“ffibu? 
tree will thrive and bear well and early 
where other varieties fail. The apple is 
red, medium size, and hardly ever fails 
to make a crop. Wherever the finer va¬ 
rieties cannot be grown successfully the 
Missouri Pippin will fill the bill and make 
you nice crops. Middle of October. 
Tun A fashioned early ap- 
June pie. Have small supply of 
trees on hand; order early and reserve 
your Red June apples. Ripens with Yel¬ 
low Transparent; medium size, yellow 
with red stripe. 
FALL APPLES 
Ripening between early apples and late 
(winter) apples, they keep fairly good, 
and in the extreme North where late ap¬ 
ples would not mature, these fall apples 
are considered winter apples and in such 
localities will make very good keepers. 
They furnish fruit after the early apples 
are used up, and before the late varieties 
commence to ripen. 
Anftkrf apple of fairly good 
size, yellow with red stripes. 
Ripens end of August, and makes a nice 
apple for the North. Not a new apple. 
For a good many years I have grown this 
sort for special orders, and recently, due 
to increased demand, I have grown more 
of them-

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
This apple does well most 
anywhere, can safely be 
planted in the North also. It is a great 
bearer, in fact few varieties are so hardy 
and so productive. A good apple for eat¬ 
ing, cooking, drying or pies; large, mostly 
covered \;(^ith red, fine grained and juicy. 
Without this good apple your orchard is 
not complete. I recommend it, knowing 
how pleased you will be with your 
Wealthy apple. Ripens in September. 
A standard market 
apple, good in size 
and quality. Its nice appearance helps to 
sell it. Ripens in September. 
EARLY APPLES 
Early apples are hardy anywhere, and 
they bear extra well. Due to the fact 
that they cannot be kept very long after 
ripening, they should be planted in small 
numbers only, unless there is a large 
city nearby where early apples would find 
a good and profitable sale. 
Duchess of Oldenburg K?g™ 
in size, greenish yellow with red stripes. 
Bears heavily. It is a little sour, and on 
that account an excellent apple for cook¬ 
ing. The tree is a wonderful grower, 
making a large crown, with a heavy 
foliage. If you would need a combination 
fruit and shade tree this apple would do 
well, and for that purpose I recommend 
the 4 to 6 ft. size for planting. 
Early Harvest 
usually about July 4. On the farm my 
father counted this apple and Alexander 
Early Peaches to be the earliest of the 
large fruit trees. You must grow these 
trees yourself to appreciate fruit of such 
quality and so early in the summer. 
Yellow Transparent ?ew®dlys 
after Early Harvest. It is of pale yellow 
color and larger than the Early Harvest. 
Flesh white, of finest quality. The tree 
bears very young, and is perfectly hardy. 
This is one of the finest early fruits that 
can be grown in a,ny locality. 
Sometimes an item is short in the shipment, and a back order has been made, in 
that case there will be a notice in the bale. Right after unpacking put the roots of) 
your trees and shrubs into a tub or tank of cold water over night. This freshens the 
roots up, and protects them from wind and sun. While trees are taken out to plant 
the roots should be protected at all times either by wrapping them in wet burlap, or 
still better by dipping the roots into a paste of soil and water. This keeps the wind 
and sun from the roots, until they are in the ground and planted.

Dolgo 
The Dark 
Red Jelly 
Crab. The 
high quality 
of this beau¬ 
tiful red crab apple, the abundance in 
which they are produced, and the hardi¬ 
ness of the tree will satisfy you in every 
respect. For the finest jelly use Dolgo 
Crab apples. The tree bears young, and 
grows well. If you plant the 4 to 6 ft. 
trees you can grow Dolgo into a very 
pretty shade and ornamental tree on the 
lawn or wherever you like to have a tree 
of good appearance. Dolgo is hardy 
everywhere, and will supply you with its 
wonderful fruit for many years. 
WViitnov SWEET CRAB. The 
VViUmcy apple is of good size; I 
would say on the average as large as the 
old fashioned Winesaps. It is green with 
red stripes, good for raw eating and for 
cooking. In the North this is considered 
a very good summer apple. Whitney, 
Dolgo Crab, Duchess Apple, the Superb 
.Vpricot all make very good shade trees, 
and it seems to me that at this time when 
so many old shade trees must be replant¬ 
ed it would be well to include a few of 
these trees for shade as well as fruit for 
planting around the home. Especially on 
the farm such trees would be of great 
value, and if you select the large size, 
4 to 6 ft. trees, you will have no difficulty 
growing them to nice shade tree shape. 
Yellow Siberian J S • t 
comes in clusters, and is canned with the 
stems. The tree is perfectly hardy, and 
same as the above varieties it is a vigor¬ 
ous grower, making a well shaped, pretty 
,;ree. There are few forest or shade trees 
chat would be more valuable in years to 
come for their shade as these Crab 
Apples, and of the latter you are sure to 
get nice crops of fruit. For home use as 
well as market Crab Apples are quite 
v^aluable. My advice is that you plant 
more of them.
