BEACON— 
The new Beacon is a fall apple, ripen- 
ing with or a few days later than Duchess, 
and will keep for a month after harvest 
even without cold storage facilities. It is 
a highly colored, all-red variety—better eat- 
ing than Duchess and is an excellent cook- 
ing Apple. The tree is vigorous, productive, 
and very hardy. The early season, the uni- 
form size and shape, the high color and 
quality, together with the keeping and 
handling quality so different from most 
early apples, makes Beacon the out-stand- 
ing early apple for home or for market.

ness in acidity that will appeal to the many

peculiar lemon-acid in flavor. Entirely dif- 
ferent from any other crab apple and far 
superior for jellies, producing a transparent 
bright red jelly of high quality. The fruit 
is distinctly beautiful, borne in great pro- 
fusion. Dolgo is a beautiful lawn tree, in 
addition to producing fruit of superior qual- 
ity. It is a striking thing to see the masses 
of red fruit clustered along the branches.
