Dear Mre Fruit Grower: 
This letter to you is to announce the new apple, REDSUMBO, offered 
for the first time this springe The REDSUMBO is an outstanding, 
bright red bud-sport of the old-fashioned Summer Rambo. The spoert 
limb originated on a Summer Rambo tree planted in 1895 two and one- 
half miles east of Cory, Clay County, Indiana. It has been known 
by its present owner and its behavior observed, for more than twenty 
years. In addition, to further prove the performance of the new 
variety, 200 trees were propagated from this limb and planted in 
1935 near Dana, Vermillion County, Indiana. Because of its attract~ 
ive color, productiveness, and other desirable qualities, application 
has been made for a patent on REDSUMBO, and this is now pending with 
the United States Patent Office. Spring, 1946, for the first time, 
trees of REDSUMBO are being offered to fruit growers. 
On the basis of proved performance, this new, superior apple offers 
the following advantages: 
ATTRACTIVE, BRIGHT RED COLOR: 
Bright red, self-coloring overlies stripes of darker red, 
giving an appearance similar to that of Gallia Beauty. 
In this way, REDSUMBO overcomes the unattractive appear~ 
ance which is the main objection to the old-fashioned 
Summer Rambo. 
Fins QUALITY: 
REDSUMBO has a good, pleasing quality, desirable for 
either eating or cooking purposes, The old-fashioned 
Rambo flavor makes them popular with consumers. The 
fruits handle well and can be grown profitably for 
either local sales or shippinge 
LARGE SIZE; 
Fruits of REDSUMBO average 3 inches in diameter, even on 
older trees. The original sport limb, now 52 years old, 
still bears large size apples. 
BIG, ANNUAL YIELDS: 
Vigorous growth of the trees and large size of the fruits 
enable this variety to consistently make money for the 
grower. The young, lleyear-old trees of REDSUMBO at Dana, 
Indiana averaged more than 7 bushels per free in 1945. 
We are offering high-grade, vigorous, sturdy, two-year-old trees of 
REDSUMBO for spring, 1946 planting. These trees are closely and 
carefully graded as to height and caliper and are sold at the fol- 
lowing prices:
