LODI IS PROVING TO BE ONE OF OUR 
BEST EARLY APPLES 
Large Size, Firmness and Early Bearing 
Habits Recommend It 
The Lodi after being tested over quite, a large ter- 
ritory is proving to be one of our most worthy Early 
Apples. It has the same quality and flavor as Yellow 
Transparent, but is much larger and more firm. The 
tree is more spreading and vigorous, bears early and 
more regular than Transparent. The fruit is a better 
shipper and does not show bruising as badly. ste 
ripens a few days later than Transparent but due to 
size can be picked with that variety if desired. Lodi 
should be interplanted for best results. :

of trial. It should be more adapted to the central 
and northern districts than to the eastern seaboard 
fruit sections.

WILLIAM'S EARLY RED @b)Amons, the 
ripen and the largest of all early apples, a better 
name for it is “Big Red Apple.’ Flesh is white, juicy 
and slightly tart, tender and crisp. A very good one,

of oe McIntosh by growing Harly McIntosh for your 
markets.

WE AGAIN ASK YOU— 
ARE YOU OUT IN FRONT 
WITH EARLY APPLES? 
For the past several years we have pointed out 
the conditions as we see it pertaining to early 
apples and again wish to call attention to this 
valuable early money production. 
Thirty million (30,000,000) apple trees have died 
in the past ten years from disease, old age and 
neglect out of which nearly 20 million have been 
early varieties, thus leaving the country shy on 
early apples. 
The fruit grower has only to follow the early 
apple sales reports to learn just what the demand 
for them has been during the past six or seven 
years. 
During the season of 1946 all early apples of 
quality brought ceiling prices and better and at 
no time were the growers of good fruit able to 
supply the demand. 
New early varieties have been brought to the 
attention of the apple grower during the past few 
years which are a definite improvement over the 
old varieties not only in size and firmness, but they 
are better keeping and have better shipping ability 
to recommend them. These new varieties should 
have the attention of all fruit growers who may be 
overlooking the possibilities in early apple growing. 
Here at Bountiful Ridge we believe there is a 
place in production for early apples now and in 
the immediate years to come and unless new 
plantings are made in the very near future, the 
growers stand to lose a source of income which is 
extremely worth while. 
We will be very glad to advise anyone who will 
write to us regarding the matter and try to give 
unbiased opinions for any particular section.

MILTON (6) Typical McIntosh, coloring full red; 
very good quality, about equal to 
McIntosh, being same textured apple. Tree hardy and 
vigorous. Ripens three to four weeks before Mc- 
Intosh or just before Wealthy. 

RED WARRIOR (6a) 
Meets every demand for a mid-summer apple. It’s beau- 
tiful all-over bright red color, large size, excellent quality 
and shipping ability should make it a leader for its season. 
The tree is normally vigorous, grows naturally well 
formed similar to McIntosh and- bears regularly. The 
fruit is large to very large, many apples being four 
inches or better, but normally averaging better than 
three inches. The skin is smooth and colored a bril- 
liant red from stem to calex without stripe. The flesh 
is white and of fine texture and does not bruise easily. 
Its ripening season is about with Wealthy or a little 
earlier. It is sub-acid in flavor and is an excellent 
cooking apple. The apple is shaped nearly like a Stay- 
mans, being a little longer from calex to stem. 
WEALTHY (7) This beautiful, moderate sized, 
brilliant red apple is of fine 
quality, one of the best of its season. It isa relatively 
good keeper, and owing to the hardiness of the tree, its 
adaptability to cold climates and early bearing habits, 
it can be profitable as a filler. 
SUMMER RAMBO (8) Large, flat, streaked 
; red and yellow, very 
tender, juicy and fine flavored. Tree very vigorous 
semi-spreading grower, hardy and productive.
