The New Jersey Apple Institute has available for Fall 1949 planting some 
well grown, one-year-old trees of several promising apple seedlings, developed 
at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. Trees of six standard 
varieties also are available through the same organization. These trees are 
propagated on Hibernal and Virginia Crab rootstocks. Orders are being ac- 
cepted for the following varieties : 
N. J. No. 1 
This is a cross of Gallia Beauty and White Winter Pearmain. The fruit 1s 
similar to Rome in size and shape. The color and quality have been better than 
Rome at New Brunswick. The fruit hangs to the tree better than Rome and 
ripens about one week later or about with Paragon. It is a good cooking and 
baking apple. It keeps well in storage and should make a good substitute for 
Rome and Paragon. 
N. J. No. 2 
This is a cross between Melba and Twenty Ounce Pippin. The tree is pro- 
ductive, strong, hardy and resistant to fire blight. The fruit 1s yellow when 
fully mature, but suitable for cooking before the color changes from green to 
yellow. It is attractive and ripens a few days later than Starr. It is one of the 
best cooking apples of its season, and good for dessert when fully mature. 
N. J. No. 3 
The fruit of this seedling resembles McIntosh in general appearance. The 
tree is of medium size and productive. The fruit develops more red color than 
McIntosh at New Brunswick and hangs to the tree five days to a week later. 
It is a promising substitute for McIntosh where the latter normally does not 
develop cnough red color. The supply of trees 1s rather limited. 
N. J. No. 4 
The fruit resembles Delicious in size, shape and flavor but ripens almost a 
month earlier. It is not a very satisfactory cooking apple, but should be popular 
as a dessert apple for those who like the flavor of Delicious. The tree, which 
is a semi-standard, has not been any more productive than Delicious. 
N. J. No. 12 
An attractive, medium to large, firm, red apple ripening during mid-August 
at New Brunswick. The tree is upright and of moderate size and vigor. The 
supply of trees is rather limited. 
STARR 
A large, green cooking apple harvested in July in central and southern New 
Jersey. All of the trees of this variety are on Hibernal stock, which is resistant 
to blight and collar rot.
