CHAMPION NURSERIES, PERRY, OHIO 

MACOUN, (Autumn). A late Mcintosh type apple rip- 
ening about ten days later than McIntosh. Dark red 
with whitish close grained flesh. Fine quality. A heavy 
and regular bearer, introduced and recommended by 
the New York State Experiment Station. November, 
MAIDEN BLUSH. This is an old favorite known by fruit 
growers for many years and holds its popularity chiefly 
by its distinctive and very handsome crimson cheeked, 
lemon yellow fruits. Very good for cooking, drying and 
for market. Keeps well until November. 
McINTOSH. An exceedingly valuable, hardy, attractive 
apple; good sized, nearly covered with red. Flesh white, 
fine, very tender, juicy and refreshing. Tree hardy, vig- 
orous and a good annual bearer. Comes into bearing 
young, yielding large crops, ripens in September. 
NORTHERN SPY. This is the real favorite of most of 
the people that really know it. It takes several years 
before the tree comes into bearing but when it arrives 
at the bearing stage one is well repaid for waiting, for 
it ranks among the top in quality and is excelled by 
few in keeping. Fruit large slightly conical, brightly 
striped with sunny side red, flesh white and tender. 
Keeps well. 
RED ROME BEAUTY. An improvement over the old 
fashioned Rome Beauty, due largely to its more intense 
red color which greatly aids in its market value. 
RED SPY. A typical Spy except for its deep red color. 
Bears a year sooner than Northern Spy but still has the 
Spy good qualities of rich taste, tenderness and keeping 
qualities. Very hardy reliable bearer. 
R. I. GREENING. Trees are of large size and have a 
large spread of branches. This is the favorite green 
apple on the market today and ranks among the leading 
six commercial varieties. 
STAYMENS WINESAP.. Tree a quick and large grower 
coming into bearing at an early age, often producing a 
barrel to a tree when five years old. From medium to 
large attractive fruits, green and yellow overlaid by 
dark red stripes. ~ 
ROME BEAUTY. The tree is of medium size and comes 
into bearing young. The apples are large, handsome, 
uniform in size and shape, thick skinned and therefore 
ship and keep well. November to May. 

RED SPY APPLE 


SWEET BOUGH. The tender flesh and delicate sweet- 
ness of the fruit when eaten out of hand remain in the 
fruit whatever way the apple is prepared. The skin is 
a little too tender for long distance shipping but is 
ideal for home use or a local market. The pale yellow 
fruit ripens in August. 
WAGNER. Good size, deep red in the sun. Flesh firm 
sub-acid and of excellent quality. One of the first 
varieties to bear. 
WEALTHY. One of the best early winter red apples, 
and due to its early bearing is much used as a filler. 
Flesh white, tender, juicy, sub-acid, quality very good. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT. The tree is not a large grow- 
er but is extremely hardy and comes into bearing 
young. The apples are above medium size and are of 
a clear yellow color. Ideal for home market and a 
good seller. 
CRAB APPLES 
HYSLOP. Has long been one of the standard American 
crab apples, and is widely cultivated. The apples are 
a brilliant dark red overlaid with a heavy blue bloom.
