Double Red Rome Beauty 
e One of the Finest Kitchen Apples Grown 
The Rome Beauty has long been a popular variety but like many of 
the so-called “Red” apples, it was deficient, in color in most sections, 
and as a result, the number of high colored “Fancy” apples grown & 
on each tree was small and profits were held down. 
Many years ago, we started a search for a real red Rome Beauty. Quite 
a number were tested—a number were good, but finally we discovered the ° 
finest strain of all. Because of superior color it has proven very profitable 
even in Northern states, where Old Rome was not popular because of lack {

all-over, and every apple on the tree takes on this superb coloring. As a result

BLACK BEN (Black Ben Davis) —Notwithstanding the poorer 
quality of apples of the Ben Davis type, there are some growers 
who cling to them because of high produetion, size of fruit, and 
value as a cooking apple. For these growers we grow the Black 
Ben a Trade-Mark variety of ours, that is unquestionably the best 
apple of this type. It is a deep blood red all over, has the size 
and keeping quality of the Old Ben Davis'and is exactly a Ben 
Davis in quality. No red apple tree will bear more bushels and 
no fruit will stand more rough handling with less damage, and 
they deliver to the market in good shape. Black Ben is far bet- 
ter than any other apple of the Ben Davis group. ne 
STAYMAN WINESAP—Stark Heavy Bearing Strain. Our propa- 
gation of Stayman Winesap is from a magnificent tree from an 
orchard in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, selected because 
of high color, mammoth fruit and splendid tree characteristics. 
Staymian has made money for growers all over America, How- — 
ever, the advent and introductiton of Scarlet Staymared which is a 
solid bright red bud sport of Staymian, has caused -a slowing up 
in its planting commercially and the wise growers will plant 
Scarlet Staymared instead, The fruit of Stayman is large and 
beautiful, quality delightful, flesh crisp, juicy with a mild pleas- ; 
ing acidity and spicy flavor. Grown everywhere and with profit, 
Scarlet Staymared, however, of far more value.
