SUMMER and FALL APPLES 
(Continued) 
RED DUCHESS. Differs from the Standard Duchess by 
hav.ng more color and coloring earlier in the season. 
We recommend this Double Red Strain. 
SUMMER RAMBO. In Virginia and adjoining States 
there is possible no other variety found in so many or- 
chards. This famous old Apple is so well known that no 
home orchard is believed to be complete without it. It is 
also popular with many of the commercial growers, as it 
is always in demand at good prices. Large, red striped. 
You cannot go wrong in planting the Summer Rambo. 
SUMMER YELLOW DELICIOUS. Another golden yel- 
low Summer Apple; resembles the Winter Yellow Deli- 
cious, ‘but ripens in July. 

WILLIAMS EARLY RED 
Considered by many as the best commercial 
Summer Red Apple. Has been a money maker for 
commercial growers. Also an excellent home 
Orchard Apple. 
Large for an Apple of its season. Ripens around 
the middle of July. The trees are good growers and 
prolific bearers; fruit beautiful in appearance and 
a good shipper. 





YELLOW TRANSPARENT. A well known, transparent 
to golden yellow Apple. Among the first yellow varieties 
to ripen. In our opinion, the Yellow Transparent will be 
somewhat replaced by the Lodi. 
WINTER APPLES 
In speaking of Winter Apples we refer to varieties which 
are harvested in late Fall and may be kept in storage for 
Winter and next Spring use. A large percent of the commer- 
cial crop consists of Winter varieties. However, some of the 
Summer or Fall varieties are now proving equally as 
profitable. 
ALBEMARLE PIPPIN. Its name was taken from Albe- 
marle County, Virginia, where it has been one of Vir- 
ginia’s most popular export Apples. Known in other parts 
of the country as Newtown Pippin. Large, solid green 
Apple; very crisp; delicious in late Winter and Spring, 
when it is at its best. Good keeper. 
BEN DAVIS. An old variety of poor quality, but a good 
bearer, keeper, and pollenizer. Medium size, red striped. 
CORTLAND. An improved McIntosh; longer keeper; 
larger, deeper red. Not often planted south of New 
York State. 
DELICIOUS. Possibly one of the best known Winter varie- 
ties. Large, red striped, almost sweet. Late Fall and Win- 
ter. Good keeper in storage. Extensively grown and 
planted as a commercial variety, as well as in home or- 
chards. In the past few years the Standard Delicious is be- 
ing replaced to a great extent by the Vance Delicious or 
some of the other Double Red Strains. 

Double Red Delicious 
DOUBLE RED 
DELICIOUS 
The Standard Deli- 
cious is too well known 
to require a detailed 
description. The New 
Double Red Delicious 
is identically the same 
as the Standard Deli- 
cious with the excep- 
tion of color—being a 
solid red—and coloring 
two to three weeks 
earlier. This means a 
tremendous commer- 
cial advantage, as well 
as the home orchard 
owner prefers Solid 
Red Apples to half 
green ones. So we 
recommend the Dou- 
ble Red Delicious in 
place of the Standard 
Delicious, which we 
also list. 
ROME 
Another of the many Red Sports 
improving on their parent variety 
by being a Solid Red, which means 
more Number One Apples and bet- 
ter prices. There are numerous 
strains of Rome Sports. This par- 
ticular strain originated in the 
Northwest and is known by some 
as C & O Red Rome. 




' Double Red Jonathan 

JONATHAN 
An improvement over the well 
known Jonathan—having more 
color and coloring earlier. This 
means more profit to the commer- 
cial grower and to the home grow- 
er, more attractive Apples. 

JONATHAN. A well known commercial 
variety. Medium size; greenish back- 
ground, red cheek, white flesh. Ready 
for market early Winter. Still popular. 
as a commercial variety. However, we 
now recommend the New Red Jonathan. 
LADY. Small, golden background, red 
blush; highly flavored; excellent qual- 
ity. Extremely popular for decoration 
purposes on dining room and dining car 
tables and eating from hand. The fruit 
is rare and sells for unusually high 
prices. 10c. extra per tree. 
LOWRY. Virginia ranks high as an Apple 
producing State—growing many good 
varieties. Among her leading varieties 
is the Lowry, which originated in Nel- 
son County, Virginia and is now becom- 
ing one of the State’s most profitable 
Apples as well as it is being commercial- 
ly planted in almost all other Apple 
srowing sections of the United States. 
The Lowry is medium to large, mahog- 
any red, as sweet as the Delicious but is 
more easily grown and sells for fully as 
much. An ideal Apple for the roadside 
stand and truck trade as well as it makes 
a beautiful cold storage pack and is a re- 
markable keeper; keeps even better than 
the Delicious in cold storage.
