Four Leading Summer Apples—Left to Right: Wilson Red June^ Early Red Bird^ Henry Clayf Summer Champion* 
Best Summer Apples 
for Home and Market Orchards 
Apples that ripen during the summer are desirable on all home grounds and in every market orchard. 
They should be selected so they will ripen during the entire summer — from early to late. Follow these 
with varieties that are ripe during early and mid-autumn. Then the Early Winter and Late Keeping kinds. 
A little study of these pages will enable the grower 
season long. Only the BEST kinds are described. 
EARLY RED BIRD-Karliest of all apples and strikingly beau¬ 
tiful. A flashing scarlet red apple of good size that is ripe about 
a week earlier than Yellow Transparent. Tlie tree is a strong 
grower, vigorous, hardy, bears young and produces annually. 
.Just what the early apple grower wants for home use and for 
selling. We consider Early Red Bird the long looked for ex¬ 
tremely early hardy apple. Prof. Sanders of the Canadian 
Dept. of. Agriculture says; ‘•Earliest apple, young bearer, l)etter 
shipi)er than Yellow Transparent.” Occupies a place among 
summer apples that no other variety can fill. 
“The Early Ited Bird is a decided success In northern Georgia and 
northern Alabama. It is an early bearer, an annual bearer, n vigorous 
grower, remarkably free from apple blight. It often attains a size of 
nearly three inches, and is a splendid eating apple, and as good for 
any other purpose.”—G. C. Starcher, Georgia. 
DOUBLE BED DUCHESS—S<»lid red strain of the old, well 
known Duchess, combining the (piallties of that popular old sort 
with a brilliant red that makes it much more valuable. It Is a 
true red sport and its color makes it impular everywhere. 
EARLY MeINTOSH— Early summer. An apple thn,t pleases the 
ej’e and pleases the taste. A cross between McIntosh and Yellow’ 
Transimrent, and has made a splendid record at the New York 
Experiment Station where it originated, l)efore we offered it to 
the public. With us it has been most satisfactory. It has mag¬ 
nificent size, color and the tree is vigorous and hardy., ltii>ens 
1.') days after Yellow Transparent. 
MELBA—Early Summer. A McIntosh seedling from (‘anada, 
ripe a week later than the Yellow Transparent tree. Extra 
hardy and vigorous, and is productive. Excellent quality. 
to choose sorts that will insure fruit practically all 
HENRY CLAY (Trade Mai'k)—Very early summer. Larger 
than' Yellow Transparent, l>etter quality, and is more suitable 
sbaite for market purposes. It looks like Maiden Blush, is two 
months earlier and ripens its crop evenly. The tree is a strong 
grower, rather spreading in shaiie, blooms late and liears abun¬ 
dantly. It commands top prices on the markets. It should be 
planted in every home orchard, as well ns for market purposes. 
The apple eating public pays liberally for it. 
WILSON RED JUNE—^An early apple of enormous size. A 
brilliant solid red all overhand is ripe Just as Red .Tune goes out. 
The tree is hardy, standing low temperatures without injury. 
Its beauty sells it. No other summer apple to compare with it 
in size and beauty. Trees extremely hardy—succeeding in 
Minnesota and AVlsconsln—standing 40 degrees below zero. 
SUMMER CHAMPION—The l»est quality, largest, best shipiier 
of the mid-summer apples. Brilliant red, excellent quality, tree 
hardy, heavy Inuirer. An ideal summer apple. Introduced by 
us a good many years ago—propagation is through original tree. 
RED WEALTHY— appig. Noted for its hardiness. 
and is extensively grown East, West, North and South—every¬ 
where the best of its season. It has made good in a big way. 
Tree a strong, spreading grower, bears extremely young and 
every year. Remarkably free from disease and long lived. The 
fruit is attractive, lirilliant red striped, medium to large. Quality 
is superli—a w’onderful wine-like flavor, and full of refreshing 
juice. Its planting is increasing from year to year—because it 
pays. For both the home and market orchard, it should be 
largely planted, filling the gap in riiiening between Maiden Blush 
and .lonathan. AVealthy, Duchess, McIntosh, Stacking make an 
ideal combination for tbe Nortbern orchard, where hardiness is 
the first consideration. Our propagation is from a bright, Doulde- 
Ited AA'ealthy siM)rt TREE. 
FTARLY HARVEST—Early summer. A Pale .veilow slightly 
subacid summer apple. Good (luallty. An old favorite but it 
scabs, and we recommend Henry (’lay as a letter early apple. 
SWEET BOUGH—(Early Sweetheart). Summer. Pale yellow, 
nualium size, sww't and delicious. An old apple but still planted. 
The Value of a Tree Cannot Be Judged by Looks 
—Real Value Is Shown in Its Growth and Bearing 
GRAVENSTEIN (Triple Red)—A Imdsport of the famous Grav- 
eiistein—a solid and attractive red that apiH’ars early and per¬ 
mits earlier picking. lias added tremendously to its value.
