More About Blackjon 
The name BLACKJON is a Registered Trade Mark. 
When you plant Blackjon you have the finest, most profitable 
type of Jonathan apple obtainable. 
This trade-marked Blackjon label is your guarantee of genu- 
ine Blackjon trees. Accept no other. 
Beware of “‘improved’’ Jonathans offered under such names 
as “Double-red Jonathan”, ‘‘Dark-red Jonathan”, ‘‘Blood-red 
Jonathan”, etc. The identity of such types is uncertain and 
therefore questionable. 
Your first crop of real Blackjons will many times repay the cost 
of the tree—and with real Blackjons your orchard is more valu- 
able—your Blackjon crop more saleable. 
“BLACKJON BRINGS 40c PER BOX MORE” 
“For early districts I consider the Blackjon one of the most profit- 
able apples that can be grown. In early districts Blackjon will bring 
40c per box more than common Jonathans. 
“All of my new plantings for the last five years have been Blackjon. 
I am also pulling my old Jonathans and replanting with Blackjon be- 
cause Blackjon is the most profitable to grow. 
“For early shipments we pack our apples as ‘Fancy and Up’ grade. 
Our Blackjon apples have such good color that our entire crop goes in 
this grade, even for early shipment. 
“Blackjon colors early with an abundance of color and the entire 
crop can be picked at one time.’’—J. W. Kellner, Washington. 
“BLACKJON FAR SUPERIOR—PROFITABLE TO GROW” 
“My Blackjon apples had fully 30 per cent more color than common 
Jonathans at that same season, and the Blackjons acquired that color 
from 10 to 14 days earlier. 
“Because of the early color I harvested my entire Blackjon crop at 
one time. The extra good color enabled me to dispose of my crop as 
‘Combination’ pack, which includes Extra Fancy and Fancy. 
“Of 1.335 boxes packed there were only 24 boxes of ‘C’ grade—due 
mostly to blemishes, and even these not lacking color.

BLAXTAYMAN is deeper, richer, and darker red, 
than the 
ordinary Stayman. It colors earlier than the Stayman and with- 
out stripes—it is entirely lacking that muddy, greenish color so 
characteristic of the ordinary Stayman. 
Blaxtayman is a bud-sport or mutation of the ordinary Stay- 
man. The original tree was discovered several years ago in an or- 
chard near Lake Chelan, Washington. This Blaxtayman variety 
has been carefully and thoroughly tested. Young trees, and top- 
grafted trees are bearing and producing the same beautiful all- 
over-solid-red apples as the original parent tree. 
Blaxtayman can be picked earlier than common Stayman, 
eliminating loss from windfalls—a serious trouble with ordinary 
Stayman. 
Blaxtayman keeps much better in storage. It does not scald. 
It has a tougher skin than the common Stayman and has never 
been known to ‘‘crack’’ on the tree. 
Blaxtayman color nearly all Extra Fancy grade, while less than 
50 per cent of ordinary Stayman color Extra Fancy.
