CORTLAND: 
A comparatively new variety which is steadily 
pushing to the front. The fruit is large, handsome, 
dark red and of high quality. It resembles McIntosh 
but hangs better to the trees and ripens a little later 
in the fall. 
Trees are hardy, vigorous in growth and early to 
bear fruit. A grand apple to eat, and a wonderful 
one to bake. Cornell and the Geneva Experiment 
Station recommend it highly for all around qualities. 
DELICIOUS: 
Has the characteristic 5-knob form which identi- 
fies it, and makes it one of the most attractive red 
kinds. Well adapted for the home garden because 
of its appearance and its mild, almost sweet flavor. 
Bears while young and grows vigorously. 
McINTOSH: 
A real leader among apples, almost too well known 
to need a description. Fruit large, red and very hand- 
some. Flavor excellent and flesh firm. Trees are 
hardy and heavy bearers, starting early. 
NORTHERN SPY: 
An old timer but there is no better eating apple in 
January. Fruit is very large, red nicely striped, 
very juicy, of fine flavor and fine for cooking. Trees 
are hardy and healthy but slow to come into bearing. 
In spite of this it is one of the three best. 
RED ASTRACHAN: 
One of the earliest varieties ripening from late 
July to the middle of August. Fruit of good quality 
but quite acid, medium size and red in color. Popu- 
lar because of its early ripening. 
RED SPY: 
Similar to Northern Spy, except that fruit is solid 
red instead of streaked. An excellent all around 
apple. 
RHODE ISLAND GREENING: 
A greenish yellow fruit which is large, firm sub- 
acid and juicy. The standard green apple for New 
York. Bears early. 
TWENTY OUNCE: 
As the name implies it’s a whopper of a big ap- 
ple, excellent for baking and liked for eating too. 
WEALTHY: 
A hardy Minnesota variety, a good grower and 
heavy bearer. Fruit ripens late and is large, attrac- 
tive red, striped and of good flavor. 
YELLOW DELICIOUS: 
The best of the yellow varieties, and in the opin- 
ion of many connoisseurs, the yellow apples far excel 
the red kinds for flavor. The fruit has all the good 
qualities of the red Delicious, and is firm, crisp and 
juicy. Its clear bright yellow makes a memorable 
picture when the trees are loaded in the late fall. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT: 
Another fine yellow kind producing heavily late in 
July or early August. Fruit medium size, pale yel- 
low, white flesh, tender, juicy and sub-acid. A great 
variety for apple sauce.
