WINTER APPLE 
CORTLAND. Originated by 
New York Agricultural 
College. The fruits of 
Cortland and its parent, 
McIntosh, are similar, 
but those of Cortland 
average larger and are 
more uniform in size; 
they have more color, 
and the red is lighter 
and brighter; the taste 
of Cortland is much like 
that of McIntosh, al- 
though distinctive; the 
flesh is firmer, but just 
as juicy. The apples do 
not drop so readily and 
. ship better. Cortland is 
one of the best apple introductions of the twentieth century. 
Hardy. October to January. 
SOLID RED DELICIOUS. Marshalls Strain. This is a new De- 
licious that colors solid red all over, rather than in stripes like 
common Delicious. It colors earlier and can be picked while 
in prime condition, and thereby keeps better than Delicious 
which quite often is left on the tree longer than it should be in 
order to get the desired color. The tree and habits of bearing 
the same as Delicious. Quite hardy except in the north and 
northwest parts of Iowa and Nebraska and beyond. 

DELICIOUS 
YELLOW DELICIOUS. The Masters strain which average larger 
and smoother than ordinary Golden Delicious. It should be in 
every family orchard, where adapted, as it bears young and the 
fruit is splendid quality. It is not related to the other Delicious, 
but is probably a seedling of the Grimes Golden which it re- 
sembles very closely. The fruit is very much the same as 
Grimes both in color and in flavor. The season is about the 
same, being at its best in late fall and early winter, yet it can — 
be kept much longer under special care. Is apparently as hardy 
as Grimes. Plant in eastern Nebraska, south half of Iowa and 
south and east. 
GRIMES, (Grimes Golden). Medium to large, bright yellow, with 
pink cheeks; flesh fine grained, juicy, with a very pleasing 
spicy flavor. For pies, sauce and dumplings, is excellent. One 
of the best quality eating apples. Keeps in storage until Janu- 
ary. Eastern Nebraska and south half of Iowa. 
NORTHWESTERN, (Northwest Greening). Vigorous grower and 
very hardy; fruit large, smooth and handsome, of a greenish- 
yellow color. In favor wherever grown; a valuable baking 
variety. Hardy, north. Season, October to February. 
PRAIRIE SPY. Originated by Minnesota Fruit Breeding Farm. 
It is said to equal Jonathan in quality. One of the new College- 
bred varieties that are extending the apple growing region sev- 
eral hundred miles north. When Prof. Alderman first spoke 
of this apple, he made the following statement, “A most un- 
usual, promising variety. Its quality is at least equal, if not 
superior, to any variety grown in the United States.” Good red 
color, medium size and mid-winter keeper. Supt. Leslie of the 
Morden Manitoba Experiment Station says that Prairie Spy 
thrives in Southern Manitoba. Is a very fine variety.

SUPER-HARDY VARIETIES 




















JONATHAN. Marsh- 
alls Improved Strain 
averages larger and 
more completely col- 
ored. This variety 
is probably better 
known to average 
consumers of des- 
sert apples than any 
other variety. It is 
recognized on all 
markets of the coun- 
try as one of the 
best among the few 
leaders of high qual- 
ity eating apples. 
The fruit is medium 
size, red and beauti- 
ful. Bears young 
and abundantly. It is quite hardy and thrives in all of the Central 
West except in the drier portions of the northwest part. Season 
November to February. 
WINESAP. Medium size, dark red, juicy, mild. A favorite late 
winter apple and a leading commercial variety on all markets, 
as well as a very popular home apple in the West. Should be 
planted liberally both in commercial and home orchards south 
of the Nebraska-Dakota state line and east of 100th principal 
meridian. Is a high class dessert apple; also very good for 
sauce, pies, jelly and marmalade. December to April.
