Apples that ripen during the summer are desirab 
They should be selected so they will ripen during the 
with varieties that are ripe during early and mid-autumn. 
A little study of these pages will enable the grower to 
season long. Only the BEST kinds are described. 
EARLY RED BIRD—arliest of all apples and strikingly beau- 
tiful. A flashing scarlet red apple of good size that is ripe about 
a week earlier than Yellow Transparent. The tree is a strong 
grower, vigorous, hardy, bears young and produces annually. 
Just what the early apple grower wants for home use and for 
selling. We consider Early Red Bird the long looked for ex- 
tremely early hardy apple. Prof. Sanders of the Canadian 
Dept. of. Agriculture says: “Earliest apple, young bearer, better 
shipper than Yellow Transparent.” Oceupies a place among 
summer apples that no other variety can fill. 
“phe Barly Red Bird is a decided success in northern Georgia and 
northern Alabama, It is an early bearer, an annual bearer, a vigorous 
grower, remarkably free from apple blight. It often attains a size of 
nearly three inches, and is a splendid eating apple, and as good for 
any other purpose.’—G. C. Starcher, Georgia. ; 
DOUBLE RED DUCHESS—Solid red strain of the old, well 
known Duchess, combining the qualities of that popular old sort — 
It is a 
~LRED WEALTHY—#est fali apple. Noted for its. hardiness. 
with a brilliant red that makes it much more valuable. 
true red sport and its color makes it popular everywhere. 
EARLY McINTOSH—farly summer. An apple that pleases the 
eye and pleases the taste. A cross between McIntosh and Yellow 
Transparent, and has made a splendid record at the New York 
Experiment Station where it originated, before we offered it to 
the public. With us it has been most satisfactory, It has mag- 
nificent size, color and the tree is vigorous and hardy., Ripens 
15 days after Yellow Transparent. 
MELBA—Early Summer. A McIntosh seedling from Canada, 
ripe a week later than the Yellow Transparent tree. Extra 
hardy and vigorous, and is productive. Excellent quality. 
EARLY HARVEST—fFarly summer. A Pale yellow. slightly 
subacid summer apple. Good quality. An old favorite but it 
scabs, and we recommend Henry Clay as a better early apple. 
SWEKET BOUGH—(Karly Sweetheart). Summer. Pale yellow, 
medium size, sweet and delicious. An old apple but still planted.

HENRY CLAY (‘Trade Mark)—Very early summer. Larger 
than Yellow Transparent, better quality, and is more suitable 
shape for market purposes. It looks like Maiden Blush, is two 
months earlier and ripens its crop evenly. The tree is a strong 
grower, rather spreading in shape, blooms late and bears abun- 
dantly. It commands top'prices on the markets. It should be 
planted in every home orchard, as well as for market purposes, 
The apple eating public pays liberally for it. 
WILSON RED JUNE—An early apple of enormous size. A> 
brilliant solid red all over, and is ripe just as Red June goes out. 
The tree is hardy, standing low temperatures without injury. 
Its beauty sells it. No other summer apple to compare with it 
in size and beauty. Trees extremely hardy—succeeding in 
Minnesota and Wisconsin—standing 40 degrees below zero. 
SUMMER CHAMPION—The best quality, largest, best shipper 
of the mid-summer apples. Brilliant red, excellent quality, tree 
hardy, heavy bearer. An ideal summer apple. Introduced by 
us a good many years ago—propagation is through original tree. 
and is extensively grown East, West, North and South—every- 
where the best of its season. It has made good in a big way. 
Tree a strong, spreading grower, bears extremely young and 
every year. Remarkably free from disease and long lived. The 
fruit is attractive, brilliant red striped, medium to large. Quality 
is superb—a wonderful wine-like flavor, and full of refreshing 
juice, Its planting is increasing from year to year—because it 
pays. For both the home and market orchard, it should be 
largely planted, filling the gap in ripening between Maiden Blush 
and Jonathan. Wealthy, Duchess, McIntosh, Starking make an 
ideal combination for the Northern orchard, where hardiness is 
the first consideration, Our propagation is from a bright, Double- 
Red Wealthy sport TREE. 
GRAVENSTEIN (Triple Red)—A budsport of the famous Gray- — 
enstein—a solid and attractive red that appears early and per- 
mits earlier picking. Has added tremendously to its value.
