NEW VARIETIES OF GREAT MERIT 
HUDSON’S GOLDEN GEM APPLE 
The original tree was found by Mr. A. D. Hudson in a fence row thicket about 12 years ago. 
Apple is large and conical in shape with long stem and has hung on the tree until Christmas ; not 
inclined to windfall. The unique feature of this apple is: it has a pear skin and color, rich russet 
as the Bosc Pear. It has an exceptionally fine flavor and is long keeping. Tree is a thrifty grower. 
It is a prolific bearer. 
We are making a Special Price this year. All new improved varieties on this page go at 
same prices as regular varieties. 
CORVALLIS (NEW PEACH) 
This new peach comes to us from D. M. Johns of 
of Corvallis, Mr. Johns stating that a Doctor 
Alexander planted the seedling sixty-five years 
ago at Corvallis, therefore, we consider ‘“Corval- 
lis’ to be an appropriate name for it. The fruit 
is very large and globular, a yellow freestone, 
ripening just after J. H. Hale. We feel that the 
great merit of this peach is its large size, beauti- 
ful coloring and the fact that it colors up bril- 
liantly while still firm and solid, which should 
make it a very valuable shipping variety, for it 
will stand a lot of handling without being bruised 
or discolored. (Patent applied for.) 
GOLDEN JUBILEE (A) A development 
of the New Jersey 
Experimental Station. Planted and producing in 
every peach producing section of the United 
States and Canada and stands without an equal , 
as an early, yellow, freestone peach of excep- 
tional quality. The Golden Jubilee is a second 
generation seedling of the Elberta crossed with 
the Greensboro. The tree is unusually hardy. 
The buds resist low Winter temperatures better 
than Elberta and open later than Elberta insures 
a regular crop. The blossoms are self-fertile. The 
peach is medium to large size and firm, From 
observation we find that the peach develops 
better if a well balanced fertilizer is used and in 
the lighter sandy soils of the Southern Peach 
producing areas where Jubilee is inclined to set 
too heavy a crop, better fruit is obtained by thin- 
ning the fruit on the tree. As the tree grows 
older the fruit becomes firmer and develops 
more naturally. NO GENERAL PLANTING OF 
PEACHES IS COMPLETE WITHOUT A LIB- 
BRAL AMOUNT OF GOLDEN JUBILEE TREES. 
IMP. ALL RED DELICIOUS 
New long keeping. We have an exceptionally 
fine strain of the All Red Delicious in a long 
keeping strain. We have found that they will 
keep at least a month or more longer than other 
strains of the All Red Delicious. For the large 
planter we would advise planting some of these 
as they have everything to gain and nothing to 
lose as the quality and production is equal to any 
strain of Delicious ever put on ‘the market. 
IMPROVED RED WINESAP 
We have an exceptionally fine strain of Winesap 
which produces nearly 100% color, size and qual- 
ity. It is just as good as the standard old Wine- 
sap but you will get more extra fancy grades. It 
would be advisable for fruit growers to plant a 
quantity of these as they are a superior apple. 
IMPROVED ALL 1Ttis is another Jona- 
RED JONATHAN ‘tecsive nearly 100% 
receive nearly 100% 
color which means more extra fancy grades. This 
tree is just as prolific a bearer as the standard 
old Jonathan but is more profitable for the 
large fruit growers. We advise planting a quan- 
tity of these. 
IMPROVED YELLOW (is is the same 
as a Yellow 
TRANSPARENT Transp arent. 
Season at the same time, only we have selected 
an especially good strain from a regular Yellow 
Transparent orchard to insure the planter of a 
heavier producing strain. 
‘BLACK ROME BEAUTY This is a 
Rome Beau- 
ty type apple sometimes called Cherry Red Rome 
Beauty. It has a very dark red color. The keeping . 
quality is just as good or better as the standard 
Rome or Red Rome. We only have a limited 
supply of this variety. No extra charge. 
SOUTHWICK (NEW APRICOT) 
The original tree of this variety, which came 
from a seed planted in 1852. The tree is one of our 
best growers of all the varieties of apricot in our 
nursery. The fruit is round, very large, with true 
apricot color, slightly red on the sunny side. We 
hope and trust this variety will prove to be an 
iron-clad long lived variety the same as the par- 
ent tree, which of course time alone can prove. 
Patent applied for. 
NOTICE: No extra charge for new varieties on this page.
