Nearly all fruit colors Extra Fancy—49% more color than com- 
mon McIntosh. Earlier color permits earlier picking and greatly 
reduces loss from windfalls. Blackmack, with its beautiful color 
and greater percentage of Extra Fancy color, is much more prof- 
itable to grow. Originated in the Canadian Okanogan as a bud- 
sport from McIntosh.

A large percentage of ordinary Rome Beauty often goes in 
lower grades because of impossibility of developing sufficient 
color. SeeandO Red Rome has solid, deep, brilliant red color 
which adds greatly to its market value. It originated as a bud- 
sport and has been thoroughly and carefully tested. Profitable 
bearing orchards prove the value of its attractive color and 
greater percentage of Extra Fancy colored fruit.
