Double Red Rome Beauty 
One of the Finest Kitchen Apples Grown 
The Rome Beauty has long been a popular variety but like many of 
the so-called “Red” apples, it was deficient, in color in most sections, 
and as a result, the number of high colored “Fancy” apples grown 
on each tree was small and profits were held down. 
Many years ago, we started a search for a real red Rome Beauty. Quite 
a number were tested—a number were good, but finally we discovered the 
finest strain of all. Because of superior color it has proven very profitable 
even in Northern states, where Old Rome was not popular because of lack 
of color. It has proven superior coast to coast. It is a deep flashing red- 
all-over, and every apple on the tree takes on this superb coloring. As a result 
practically 100% of the apples on the tree developed into extra fancy grades 
so far as color is concerned. The tree is exactly a Rome Beauty with the 
strong spreading growth characteristics of the variety. It is a very late 
bloomer, a heavy, young and annual bearer, and with the added color com¬ 
mands top prices on all markets. 
Unsurpassed for Baking 
Red Rome has wood dessert quality, but its value as a euoking apide has made it famous. It is 
the ideal apple for all kitchen puriK)ses—while hotel and restaurant people all over America 
name it the No. 1 baking apple. No home orchard is complete without a few Red Rome trees. 
Of course, NOW, we recommend the Improved Ilouble Red Delicious—Starking, instead of De¬ 
licious, for planting In commercial orchards. 
STARKING (Solid Red Delicious) 
The discovery and introduction of Starking (solid red Delicious) which occurred ns a bud sport on a 
Stark Delicious tree in a New Jersey orchard, gave the orchardists a new improved “Double Red’’ De¬ 
licious that was deep solid red all over. Today the Solid Red Starking is planted almost exclusively 
where a tree of the Delicious type is wanted for commercial markets. 
STARK DELICIOUS (Original Tree Strain) 
“The finest red apple in all the world,” said Duther Burltank, before we discovered Starking. 
This great, big, flashing LATE AV'INTER red apple is the one so easily recognized l)ecause of 
Its beautiful waxen skin of deep crimson, blending off into golden yellow at the blossom end. 
with its five knob-like protuberances. Have you sunk your teeth with joyous relish into the 
tender, crisp, juice-laden flesh of a Delicious apple? If so, you must l)e still smacking your 
lips over its deliciously DIFFERENT flavor. 
BALDWIN, “Double Red”—A true Baldwin, but deep, brilliant 
red. Our trees propagated from Original Tree discovered in New 
Hampshire. Oolors earlier than regular Baldwin. WILL SELL 
AT FAR HIGHER PRICES. 
CORTLAND—A sui»crior cross l)etween McIntosh and Ben Davis 
by the N. Y. Experiment Sta. Our Record-Bearing parent tree 
grown from buds cut from the original tree, (,’ortlaud is a late 
keeping McIntosh of increased size. 
GREENINGS—Large greenish apple. Both N. W. and R. I. good 
in (piality and ex<ellent for cooking. Our N. W. Greening Rec-ord- 
Bearing I’arent Tree at Ohio Exp. Sta. averaged 22.7 bushels over 
period of 14 years. Ouv R. I. Parent Tree has wonderful long 
bearing record. Very hardy. 
GIANT JENITON —Double the size of the old .leniton and the 
largest apple of this type. Our proimgatlon is from the original 
tree on the grounds of J. W. Johnson, Lewis (!o.. Mo. Red striped, 
juicy, tart, delightful flqvor, makes best cider, a late bhxaner, 
hardy, sure l»earer. 
NORTHERN SPY “Double Red”—A true N<n‘thern Spy, but far 
<leei)er solid red color. Propagated direct from Original Bud- 
Sport found in- New York. Better color of this strain assures 
growers better prices. Popular in New England and North. 
BLACK BEN (Black Ben Davis) — Notwithstanding the poorer 
(piality of apples of the Ben Davis type, there are some growers 
who cling to them because of high production, size of fruit, and 
value as a cooking apple. For these growers we grow the Bhutk 
Ben a Trade-Mark variety of ours, that is unquestionably the best 
apple of this tyiie. It is a deep blood red all over, has the size 
and keeping (piality of the Old Ben Davis and is exactly a Ben 
Davis in quality. No red apple tree will laair more bushels and 
no fruit will stand more rough handling with less damage, and 
they deliver to the market in good shape. Black Ben is far bet¬ 
ter than any other apple of the Ben Davis group. 
STAYMAN WINESAP—Stark Heavy Bearing Strain. Our propa¬ 
gation of Staynian Winesap is from a magnificent tree from an 
orchard in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, .selected because 
of high color, mammoth fruit and splendid tree characteristics. 
Stayman has made money for growers all over America. How¬ 
ever, the advent and introductiton of Scarlet Staymared which is a 
solid bright red bud sport of Stayman, has caused a slowing up 
in its planting commercially and the wise growers will plant 
Scarlet Staymaivd instead. The fruit of Stayman is large and 
bi-autlful, quality delightful, flesh crisp, juicy with a mild pleas¬ 
ing acidity and spicy flavor. Grown everywhere and with profit. 
Scariet Staymared, liowever, of far more value. 
BELLFLOWER IMPROVED—Best of all the Bellflower typi*, 
young bearer. AVni. Gutter, of Golorado, says: “Will outbear 
old Bellflower two to one.”
