CORTLAND. An offspring of the Mc- 
Intosh, but greatly improved. Fruit 
is larger, better color, richer, with 
firmer flesh. Juicy, fine for cooking, 
good shipper. Ripens 3 to 4 weeks 
earlier. Good late winter keeper. 
DOLGO CRAB. A handsome hardy red 
Crabapple. Vigorous and productive. 
Very juicy, jellies easily, and makes 
a rich, ruby-red jelly of beautiful 
color and excellent flavor. Makes 
exceptionally good cider. Ripens in 
early September, It is often used 
very effectively for lawn planting, as 
its bright fiery red fruit, borne in 
great profusion, enhances its attrac- 
tiveness throughout the summer. 
(D) DOUBLE RED DELICIOUS. Size 
and shape of Delicious, but is much 
darker color. The fruit is red all 
over, sometimes as early as August, 
when common Delicious is still green. 
Heavy bearer, fine shipper; fruit is 
crisp, fine grained and really deli- 
cious. Unusually good market Apple, 
keeping well into the .winter. 
GRIMES GOLDEN. Winter Apple of 
medium to large size; skin golden 
yellow; delicious sparkling flavor. 
Tree is very hardy and heavy bearer. 
Bears young. 
(B) JONATHAN. Grand winter Apple. 
Unusually good keeper, fruit will 
stand much handling without special 
care. A splendid family Apple, and 
highly profitable for market. Fruit is 
highly colored with firm white flesh, 
sometimes tinted faint red. Long- 
lived, productive and an early bearer. 
KENDALL. A McIntosh seedling, origi- 
nated at the N. Y. Exp. Sta. Season 
about the same as Mclntosh, but 
keeps longer, hangs on tree better. 
Apples are large, flavor more spar- 
kling than McIntosh, dark red cov- 
ered with a rich bloom. 
LODI—The Improved Yellow Transpar- 
ent. Produces large, yellow apples 
with waxen sheen, averaging 22 
inches and up in size. Lodi handles 
and keeps much better than Trans- 
parent, because of its somewhat 
thicker skin and firmer flesh. Does 
not drop as badly as most early Ap- 
ples. Lodi may be picked at the same 
time as Transparent, but is at its best 
if allowed to hang a week longer. 
It is perfectly 
hardy, and so 
far has proven 
itself to be an 
Gehan ula 
bearer.
