SIMS SUMMER APPLE VARIETIES 

WEALTHY 
Best for Home or Market 
WEALTHY 
A big red-striped apple. Has been a favorite for years, and is classed 
with the best summer apples. Extra good shipping and keeping quali- 
ties. Its hardiness of tree and ability to stand cold climates, and young 
bearing habits, make it accepted in North as well as South. 
MAMMOTH MAIDEN BLUSH 
An old favorite that still holds its own among commercial orchard- 
men. Although it was introduced many years ago, it is one variety 
that has been studied and tested. Many varieties have been tried and 
discarded. But Maiden Blush is still a leader. Maiden Blush is golden 
yellow with a red blush. It ripens in mid-summer and can not be beat 
for pies, sauce or canning. The strain of Maiden Blush we now offer 
is selected from an old Maiden Blush orchard. The founder, John W. 
Sims, planted it many years ago, and it is much larger in size than the 
common Maiden Blush. 
RED BIRD 
Extra early summer; flaming red; very hardy. Its appearance and 
high quality make it demand a high market price on any market. Bears 
heavy annual crops. 
ANOKA the Old Folks’ Apple 
Usually bears a light crop the following year after planting. The 
second year you will get a big full-sized crop of fine apples. It is one 
of the earliest varieties grown. Fruit is large, well-colored and of ex- 
cellent flavor. 
CHAMPION (Summer) 
This is truly a champion of quality, cooking, eating, shipping and 
storing. Large size greenish yellow with red blush. Bears large crops 
each year. Always tops the market. 
LODI New Large Transparent 
A new hybrid transparent was recently released by the New York Fruit 
Testers Association. Lodi in our orchard has proven to be one of our best 
early apples both from the standpoint of young bearing and high quality. 
Readily accepted on all markets to be a superior early apple. One of its 
qualities is its ability to stand handling and shipping without bruising, 
because of its firm flesh and tough skin. Plant Lodi for home use, road 
side markets, or long distant shipment. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT the Famous Early Apple 
The leading early cooking apple of the nation. Accepted by growers, 
and housewives alike to be the yardstick by which all early apples are 
judged. Tree is an upright grower; very hardy, young bearer. Fruit 
medium to large with sub-acid flavor. 
LIVELAND RASPBERRY 
An excellent extra early summer apple. It is tender, juicy and spicy 
flavored. They make the best apple sauce recommended for home or 

YELLOW TRANSPARENT 
local market. 


VIRGINIA CRAB 

SIMS CRAB APPLES 
HYSLOP CRAB 
The best late fruiting crab, for pickles, preserves and jelly. Lovely 
pink ornamental blooms. 
VIRGINIA CRAB 
A fine quality small red crab apple. Ripens mid-season. One of the 
very hardiest apples often used as under stock because of its unusual 
hardiness. ; 
HYBERNAL 
Fruit of very ordinary quality, one of the hardiest thriftiest growers, 
because of its Siberian origin. Recommended for under stock in top- 
working weaker varieties. If you have had trouble with short lived trees 
due to winter injury, collor rot, sun scald, ete., try Hybernal or Virginia 
Crab. You will be well paid for your extra work, because of younger 
bearing, longer lived trees.
