SOLID RED DELICIOUS. Marshall's Strain. 
This 1s a new Delicious that colors solid 
red all over, rather than in stripes like 
common Delicious. It colors earlier: and 
can be picked while in prime condttion, 
and thereby keeps better than Delicious 
which quite often is left on the tree 
longer than it should be in order to get 
the desired color. The tree and habits of 
bearing are the same as Delicfous. Quite 
hardy except in the north and northwest 
parts of Iowa and Nebraska and beyond. 
YELLOW DELICIOUS. The Masters strain which 
average larger and smoother than ordinary 
Golden Delicious. It should be in every 
family orchard,where adapted,as it bears 
young and the fruit is splendid quality. 
It is not related to the other Delicious, 
but is probably a seedling of the Grimes 
Golden which it resembles very closely. 
The fruit is very much the same as Grimes 
both in color and in flavor. The season 
is about the same, being at its) beste in 
late fall and early winter, yet it Can be 
kept much longer under special care... IS 
apparently as hardy as Grimes. Plant in 
eastern Nebraska, south half of Iowa and 
south and east. 
GRIMES, (Grimes Golden). Medium to large, 
bright yellow, with pink cheeks; flesh 
fine grained, juicy, with a very pleasing 
spicy flavor. For pies, sauce and dump- 
lings, is excellent. One of the best 
quality eating apples. Keeps in storage 
until January. Eastern Nebraska and south 
half of Iowa. 
GANO. This variety is supposed to be a 
cross between Ben Davis and Jonathan. It 
resembles Ben Davis very closely both in 
tree and fruit, except the color in which 
the red is evenly overspread and shows no 
inclination to be striped. In hardiness, 
keeping qualities and season it is very 
similar to Ben Davis. This variety is 
preferred by some commercial growers on 
account of its better color. 
WINESAP. Medium size, dark red, juicy, 
mild. A favorite late winter apple and 
a leading commercial variety on all mar- 
Kets,as well as a very popular home apple
