mance Records show the parent of this variety to be the 
producer of the greatest number of bushels of any tree under 
observation. The production of No. 1 grade of fruit is high

Solid Red McIntosh (Smith). 
This variety is like Delicious in 
every respect excepting that it 
has added color. As the name 
implies, this is a solid red, highly 
colored Delicious. It is recom- 
mended especially for locations 
where Delicious does not have 
sufficient color. The tree is 
hardy, healthy, vigorous and

Solid Red Mcintosh (Farley 
No. 5). This “‘Bud Selected” solid 
Red McIntosh is the answer to 
the desire of fruit growers for 
this popular variety in its most 
attractive form. Combined with 
added color is good production 
and uniformity of shape. The 
added attractiveness we have 
given this now popular variety 
means increased profits for the 
orchardist. The fruit is large, 
highly aromatic. Color is a solid 
brilliant crimson. Quality is the 
very best. Season. November 
to February. 
This is another solid red McIn- 
tosh selection. Over one-half of 
the trees in this orchard produce 
only striped Apples. Propagating EES es 
buds for this strain were taken 
from the other trees in which 
the more desirable red type predominated. In other respects 
this is a true type McIntosh. 
Solid Red Spy (Stuart). The parent tree was in full bearing 
during the twelfth year at which our records started on this 
strain. This fact proves that this particular strain came into 
bearing very young. As the name signifies it is a solid red 
type. This strain colors early in the season and has an abun- 
dance of color, making it preferable for locations where 
Northern Spys do not color well. It is highly attractive and 
will create a strong demand on any market. In other respects, 
this is a true type Northern Spy. 
Steele’s Red Top-grafted (Sometimes called Canada Red or 
Red Canada). A long-keeping market Apple with excellent 
color. This variety is unsurpassed, brings $1.00 to $2.00 per 
barrel more than any other Apple. The fruit is well formed, 
very fine grained, juicy, aromatic and agreeably sub-acid. The 
size of fruit medium to large, shapely, uniform, cone-shaped. 
In color, a beautiful deep red, striped with deeper red on a 
background of yellow. Sometimes conspicuously marked with 
gray colored dots. Flesh whitish with yellow or greenish tints, 
firm, crisp, rather fine grained, agreeable sub-acid flavor. The 
quality is of the best—very valuable for commercial purposes. 
The only drawback to this variety has been its slow growth, 
but by the Greening method of top-grafting it in the nursery, 
on a hardy, fast growing stem and French crab root, we have 
completely overcome the slow growing characteristics. By top- 
grafting it will come into bearing as quickly as any good 

into bearing earlier than most 
varieties. Tree dwarf to medium 
size in growth. Valuable variety

reproduce in Northern Spy orchards, a strong, vig- 
orous tree, early bearing, heavy annual produc- 
tion, large size in fruit and an attractive typical 
striped color type. This parent tree produced a 
full crop of nearly twelve bushels when only nine 
years old and a total of 141 bushels by the end of 
the sixteenth season. The fact that this tree pro- 
duced twelve bushels when only nine years old, 
shows that it must have come into bearing at not 
more than six years after planting for a Spy tree 
always bears a few Apples the first year and con- 
tinues to increase in production each year. This smooth, marked with dark red. 
record speaks for itself. It requires no added com- 
ments. The fruit is large and extremely attractive.

Season, October to February. 
Wealthy (Nye No. 2). The par- 
ent tree of this strain maintains 
a high standard for the variety. 
It began to bear at an early age 
and produced good annual 
crops of large, uniform Apples 
with normal color for Wealthy. 
In Wealthy orchards, undesir- 
able variations affecting pro- 
duction, uniformity of shape 
and size and also undercolored 
fruits are very common. Fruit

Flesh white, tender, juicy and 
sub-acid. This is one of the 
finest varieties of its season and 
is especially good for commer- 
cial purposes as it comes into 
bearing early. Very profitable 
as a market Apple on account of 
handsome appearance and good 
flavor. Season, Nov. to Jan. 
Wolf River (Wark No. 4). This se- 
lection represents a high aver- 
aver with heavy production of very large apples, one of the 
largest Apples grown. Smooth, yellowish white, splashed with 
bright red. Flesh yellowish white, coarse, tender. Flavor me- 
dium. Exceedingly valuable as a baking Apple. Grown especi- 
ally for the restaurant market. Tree very vigorous and in this 
selection we offer trees capable of heavy production whereas 
the ordinary Wolf Rivers are considered only fairly productive. 
Season, November to January. 
Yellow Delicious (Farnsworth). An extraordinary “‘Bud Se- 
lected’’ development of yellow Apple of Delicious type. Has all 
characteristics of regular Delicious in flesh and flavor. Good 
commercially where yellow Apples are favored and excellent 
for home and local markets. Season, November to February. 
CRAB APPLES 
Crab Apples succeed equally well in all sections. Excellent 
for preserving, jelly and cider. A valuable market fruit. 
Hyslop (Smith No. 1). The best of Crab Apples. This parent 
tree combines in one the money-making qualities of the variety 
with improved color; vigorous, early bearing, heavy annual 
production, large size fruit and a solid red color type. Only 20 
ft. away from this parent tree stands a tree of the striped type. 
Nine years records of the parent tree show a production of 5934 
bushels, the fruit averaging 17g ozs. These figures need no 
further comment as to the superiority of this high type Super-
