“The NEW ALMEDA” 
Boyd’s New Sensational Apple Discovery 






This startling new apple was discovered growing near Hender- 
sonville, Tennessee, by Mr. J. W. Savely, Orchardist and Hor- 
ticulturist. Mr. Savely started experimenting with the 
Almeda, and now has a most beautiful bunch of trees grow- 
ing in his orchard. 
Having known of the Boyd’s for a long time and knew that 
they like to give their customers the best of everything 
Mr. Savely called on us to introduce and market the new 
apple for him. 
The Nashville Tennessean, newspaper, and the Tennessee 
Market Bulletin, the official publication of the Tennessee 
Department of Agriculture, gave a nice write-up in the 
June 15, 1946, issue. The State Horticulturists of this 
state have been watching this apple for the past few 
years and they think very highly of it. Mr. Savely 
thinks it is the best apple ever introduced in the 
South and predicts that it will be one of the leading 
apples in the United States within a few years. 


(U. S. Patent No. 327) 
This being the second year that we have shipped it and 
it broke all records for the first season of sales of any 
new apple that the Boyd Nursery Co. has ever handled. 
100 THE NEW ALMEDA 
A large, smooth yellow apple that starts 
bearing about the middle of July. From the 
nice, luscious taste it seems that the apple 
might be a cross between the Yellow Horse 
and Transparent. Mr. Savely’s customers 
near Nashville call it the best cooking 
apple known. It has never missed a crop 
since its amazing discovery some ten or 
fifteen years ago. One of the most prolific 
bearing trees known.
