APPLE TREES OF PROVED PERFORMANCE 
Late “Bud-Selected” Strains 
of Winter Apples 
Baldwin, Scarlet (Ruall). The fruit of this parent tree is very 
highly colored and much brighter in appearance than the 
ordinary Baldwin. The tree is spreading in growth habit, 
with dropping branches, indicating heavy production. The 
fruit is large, uniform in size and the skin is tough, smooth 
and very attractive. The flesh is firm, crisp and rather tender 
and juicy. Agreeably sub-acid. Quality is very good and the 
season extends from November to March or April; to May 
or later in cold storage. 
Baldwin (Spencer No. 2). This remarkable strain of the Bald- 
win Apple is early and annual bearing. The parent tree is low 
spreading, pyramidal in shape. It produced four bushels of 
fruit when only seven years old, followed by annual crops. 
The total yield for the next 10 years was 150 bushels. The 
size of the fruit is large and the color typical of the variety. 
A check tree growing in the same orchard with the parent tree 
is a tall growing and round top tree. It came into production 
later than the parent tree, is a bi-annual bearer and during 
the same years produced only 80 bushels of Apples. It is very 
obvious that it would be folly to plant ordinary Baldwin when 
such trees as our Spencer Strain are available. Earlier, annual 
bearing and increased production resulting in greater profits. 
Season and quality of fruit same as the Ruall strain described 
on this page. 
Canada Red (See Steele’s Red). 
Cortland (Lyman). Cortland is an improved late McIntosh. 
The fruits of the two varieties are similar, but those of Cort- 
land are more oblate, average larger, and are more uniform 
in size; they have more color and the red is lighter and brighter 
and the strip and splashes are laid on differently; the taste of 
the Cortland can hardly be distinguished from that of McIn- 
tosh; the flesh is firmer but just as juicy; the season is several

weeks later; the Apples do not drop so readily and ship better. 
The buds for this Lyman Strain Cortland were taken from 
top-grafted trees. The scions grew very vigorously and bore 
when young. , ; 
Delicious (Lyman). A red striped strain of exceptional merit. 
Fruit above medium to large in size. Greenish yellow back- 
ground, striped and splashed with medium dark red. Flesh 
crisp, juicy, tender. Flavor mild, sub-acid almost sweet. 
Season, November to March. (See Solid Red Delicious.) 
Gallia Beauty (Ohio No. 16). A superior color variation from 
the Rome Beauty. Fruit has the characteristic shape and 
quality of the original type. The color type is solid red with- 
out stripes, and is unusually attractive. Our propagating buds 
came from a progeny test tree growing at the Ohio State 
Experiment Station, Wooster, Ohio. This variety is far more 
attractive, therefore, more salable and should supersede Rome 
Beauty in new plantings. The fruit is large, smooth, handsome, 
uniform in size and shape. Thick skinned, therefore, ships 
and keeps well. Thrives best in Ohio and Indiana, Southern 
Michigan and Southern New York. The tree is very vigorous, 
coming into bearing early with a heavy annual crop. Because 
of its long stems and flexible branches, the fruit remains well 
on the tree during high winds. Season, November to February. 
Greening (See Rhode Island Greening and Northwestern 
Greening). 
Grimes Golden (Joehrendt). This selection was made because 
of the tremendous yields and the large size of the fruit pro- 
duced by the parent tree. In spite of overloads, the size has 
always been above the average for the variety. The average 
Grimes Golden weighs 41% ounces and measures 214 inches. 
Fruit from this Joehrendt parent tree averages 6144 ounces 
and measures 31% inches in diameter. It also bears much 
larger annual crops than the ordinary Grimes Golden and it 
is by far the finest and most profitable that has ever been 
introduced. The color of the fruit is a deep yellow, the flesh 
is yellow, very firm, tender, crisp, sub-acid and moderately 
juicy. It is an excellent variety for either dessert or culinary 
purposes. One of the best pure yellow Winter 
Apples and fine for the commercial as well as the 
home orchard. We can supply these trees in either 
top-grafted or low budded. Season, November 
to February. 
Kendall. A new McIntosh type that is attracting 
attention of fruit growers because of its richened 
color, attractive appearance and has all the desir- 
able characteristics of the McIntosh, but hangs 
to tree better. Originated by New York State 
Fruit Testing Cooperative Association. Season 
about that of McIntosh, but keeps longer. The 
Apples are large, trim in outline and white, fine 
grained flesh of McIntosh, but more spritely in 
flavor. Handsomely colored over entire surface 
with dark red and rich bloom. Tree vigorous, 
hardy. Season, October to February. 
King (See Tompkin’s King). 
McIntosh (See Solid Red McIntosh). 
Improvement Extended by 
Mechanized Production 
No Greening operation can wait the ingenuity 
of other men. Tools and machinery are designed 
and made in our own research shops—a research 
in mechanics of nursery operation as important to 
quality and quantity production as our ‘‘Bud 
Selection.” 
In the development of our own equipment for 
our own peculiar problems, Greening men alone 
are responsible. 
These inventions are important to you as a 
buyer of nursery stock, since they make it possible 
to do a better job in each production operation, 
at less cost. This means that you buy better qual- 
ity of nursery stock at the lowest prices. 
The machine pictured here is our Fruit Tree 
Cultivator, the only machine of its kind known. 
It is put to amost daily use during the growing 
season. It does its work better, safer and cuts 
costs. Note top illustration how operator rides 
close to the ground where he can see his work 
and guide machine to prevent injury to trees. 
It straddles two rows of trees even after they 
have reached full growth in the rows—cultivates 
25 acres in 10 hours.
