ORDINARY RED DELIC(OUS, 

U.S. Plant Patent No. 90 
Trade Mark Reg. 
Shotwell Delicious developed as a bud-sport on a Delicious 
apple tree in the Harry Shotwell orchard in the Wenatchee Valley, 
Washington. Shotwell Delicious has outstanding qualities which 
make it a valuable apple for commercial growing and shipping. 
In those apple growing districts where fruit matures early and 
is available for early shipment there is a definite need for a 
Delicious which colors quickly—and early during the growing 
season. Shotwell Delicious fills that need. 
Its value and merit has been conclusively demonstrated after 
a long period of careful testing and observation before its intro- 
duction by our Company. Many profitable bearing Shotwell 
Delicious orchards are further proof that Shotwell Delicious fills 
an important place in the apple world. 
Shotwell Delicious differs from the Richared Delicious in that 
it colors earlier and darker. 
For early districts where it is difficult or impossible to get 
average color with common Delicious, we especially recommend 
Shotwell Delicious. 
Also for districts where very early color is a sales factor, we 
highly recommend Shotwell Delicious.

Early Red Color—Better Prices 
Mr. C. A. Leedy, Manager of one of the Wenatchee Valley's 
largest orchards, says: 
“In the spring of 1928 I purchased from your Company, and 
planted 160 Shotwell Delicious trees. 
“This year the trees are well loaded and today (August 
28th) the apples will grade nearly 100% EXTRA FANCY FOR 
RED COLOR, whereas but very few, if any, of our ordinary 
red Delicious apples have attained sufficient red color to grade 
extra fancy. 
“We will pick our Shotwell Delicious at once, but will wait 
as long as possible to pick the ordinary red Delicious, hoping 
they will take on more color.” 
\ Mr. Leedy sold his Shotwell Delicious crop for approximate- ) 
/ ly 40% more money than received for ordinary Delicious. \
