them. 
ASTRACHAN, RED, (Summer). The trees come _ into 
bearing young and bear regularly and abundantly. The 
fruit is the standard large red summer apple. They are 
fit for cooking long before maturity and when fully 
ripe are fine for dessert, having a long season of use- 
fulness. Ripens about the last of July. 
BALDWIN, (Winter). Large, bright red, crisp, juicy and 
firm. The old favorite for market and home use and 
probably the most extensively planted. 
BANANA, (Winter). An early bearer, 
with bright crimson, flesh fine grained, 
aromatic, and high quality. 
CORTLAND, (Winter). A derivation of McIntosh, but 
ripening about two weeks later. Thrifty, comes into 
bearing when young and remains a long time. Fruits 
abundant, large, round, with heavy overlay of shaded 
reds. Hangs on the tree longer than McIntosh and is a 
little tougher skinned, making a better shipper. 
DELICIOUS, (Winter Red Delicious). Fruit large, dark 
red, flesh fine grained, crisp and melting. Its taste is 
very mildly acid making it a favorite as an eating apple 
and for use in desserts and salads. A splendid keeper 
and shipper. 
DOUBLE RED DELICIOUS, (Winter). A remarkable va- 
riety rapidly taking first place. Fruit extra large; color 
bright red; flesh white and fine grained, rich, melting 
and juicy, of the very highest quality; tree young bear- 
er, sometimes at age of three years from planting; good 
keeper in most sections; annual fearer. 
DUCHESS OF OLDENBURG, (Autumn). Commonly known 
as Duchess. Tree is a small grower and comes into bear- 
ing young, making an excellent filler. The fruit is large, 
striped red and yellow, flesh white, juicy, and of excel- 
lent flavor, the best general purpose apple of the sea- 
son ripening in August and September. 
DWARF APPLE TREES 
This is the first time we have offered to our 
friends and patrons dwarf apple trees. These 
trees are budded on malling No. 9 which is the 
ideal dwarf understock which has been so highly 
recommended by the New York Experiment sta- 
tion at Geneva, N. Y. 
The supply is very limited and as we have a 
yellow shaded 
rich sub-acid, 
large number of patrons who we feel will want 
to take advantage of this wonderful opportun- 
ity we find it necessary to limit the sale to six 
trees per person.

Delicious red, Mclntosh and Staymens Winesap. 

It will pay you to plant fruit trees tempered 
and hardened in our rigorous northern climate.

GRIMES GOLDEN, (Winter). Good sized yellow, very pro- 
ductive, and of high quality. 
JONATHAN, (Winter). The extra quality, medium red 
fruit by general consent is placed among the very best 
in both appearance and quality. 
KENDALL, (Autumn). Handsomely colored over the en- 
tire surface with dark red covered with a rich bloom. 
Its season is about that of McIntosh but it keeps a little 
longer. The apples are large, firm in outline, and when 
properly ripened, possess the whitish fine grained flesh 
of Mcintosh. The flavor is more sprightly than Mc- 
Intosh. The apples hang better than McIntosh but not 
as well as Cortland. 
KING, (Winter, of Tompkins County). A large red apple 
of good quality. Good for the home orchard or for 
market. Tasty, rich, sub-acid apple of mild flavor—one 
you will like to eat.
