CHAMPION’S APPLE TREES FROM 
TESTED BEARING ORCHARDS 
In making your selection of varieties both for the home orchard and for your commercial 
planting you will find most of the better varieties which have proven successful in the sec- 
tion where you live. 
Varieties ripening over the entire apple season are here — varieties 
well chosen both for their shipping and keeping qualities. When choosing varieties for your 
home orchard always pick a large percentage of trees having fruit which ripens in late fall 
as these are the ones which will keep and may be enjoyed through the winter months. 
Always 
keep in mind that our trees are northern grown and have proven very satisfactory to growers 
universally because of the extra strength and hardiness our climate develops in them. 
It will 
more than pay you to plant fruit trees tempered and hardened in our northern climate.

ASTRACHAN, RED, (Summer). The trees come _ into 
bearing young and bear regularly and abundantly. The 
fruit is the standard large red summer apple. They 
are fit for cooking long before maturity and when 
fully ripe are fine for dessert, having a long season of 
usefulness. Ripens about the last of July. 
BALDWIN, (Winter.) Large, bright red, crisp, juicy and 
firm. The old favorite for market and home use and 
probably the most extensively planted. 
BANANA, (Winter). An early bearer, yellow shaded 
with bright crimson, flesh fine grained, rich sub-acid, 
aromatic, and high quality. 
CHAMPION’S SUPREME. A large well colored fruit, 
ripening in July and August. It is a great favorite with 
the home gardener as it quite often bears some fruit the 
folowing year after planting. 
A derivation of McIntosh, but 
ripening about two weeks later. Thrifty, comes into 
bearing when young and remains a long time. Fruits 
abundant, large, round, with heavy overlay of shaded 
reds. Hangs on the tree longer than McIntosh and 
is a little tougher skinned, making a better shipper. 
CORTLAND, (Winter). 
DELICIOUS, (Winter Red Delicious). Fruit large, dark 
red, flesh fine grained, crisp and melting. Its taste is 
very mildly acid making it a favorite as an eating 
apple and for use in desserts and salads. A splendid 
keeper and shipper. 
DOUBLE RED DELICIOUS. (Winter). A remarkable va- 
riety rapidly taking first place. Fruit extra large; color 
bright red; flesh white and fine grained, rich, melting 
and juicy, of the very highest quality; tree young bear- 
er, sometimes at age of three years from planting; 
good keeper in most sections; annual bearer. 
YELLOW DELICIOUS. (Winter). Same delicious qual- 
ity, but the color is a clear bright yellow. Tastes more 
mild and even better than Grimes Golden. Firm, crisp, 
and very juicy. 

NORTHERN SPY APPLE 
DUCHESS OF OLDENBURG (Autumn). Commonly known 
as Duchess. Tree is a smaller grower and comes into 
bearing young making an excellent filler. The fruit 
is large striped red and yellow, flesh white, juicy, and 
of excellent flavor, the best general purpose apple of 
the season ripening in August and September. 
GRIMES GOLDEN, (Winter). Good sized yellow, very 
productive, and of high quality. 
JONATHAN. (Winter). The extra quality, medium red 
friut by general consent is placed among the very best 
in both appearance and quality. 
KENDALL. (Autumn). Handsomely colored the entire 
surface with dark red covered with a rich bloom. Its 
season is aobut that of McIntosh but it keeps a little 
longer. The apples are large, firm in outline, and when 
properly ripened, possess the whitish fine grained flesh 
of McIntosh. The flavor is more sprightly than McIntosh. 
The apples hang better Mcintosh but not as well as 
Cortland. 
KING... (Winter). A large red apple of good quality. 
Good:\for the home orchard or for market. Tasty, rich, 
sub-acid apple of mild flavor — one you will like to eat. 
LODI. A new variety which greatly resembles one of 
its parents, Yellow Transparent. However, the fruits are 
larger Gnd ripen a little later. This variety tends to bear 
very young and is an annual bearer. It is fast becoming 
a commercial variety. 
MELBA. A new red striped apple resembling McIntosh 
in type, flavor and quality, but not in color; shape is 
nearly the same. A very fine apple of late summer or 
early fall season suitable for home or market.
