The New Jersey Apple Institute has available for Fall 1950 planting some 
healthy, well grown one and two-year old trees of several promising apple 
seedlings developed at the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. 
Trees of nine standard varieties, also are available through the same 
organization. 
HARDY, VIGOROUS ROOTSTOCKS 
All of the apple trees offered by the New Jersey Apple Institute are 
propagated on Hibernal and Virginia Crab rootstocks. These stocks are hardier 
and more resistant to disease than domestic seedlings. In addition to being very 
hardy, Hibernal rootstocks tend to induce early fruiting and strong, wide 
angled crotches. 
The method of propagation used to produce trees on Hibernal and Virginia 
Crab rootstocks is more expensive than the common method of budding do- 
mestic apple seedlings. This increased propagating cost makes it necessary to 
charge a somewhat higher price for one or two-year old trees suitable for 
orchard planting. Experiences and observations over a period of several years 
indicate that the comparatively small difference between the price of trees 
propagated on domestic apple seedlings and trees on Hibernal or Virginia Crab 
rootstocks 1s offset many times by their increased hardiness, productiveness 
and uniformity. 
N. J. No. 
A large, attractive, winter apple similar to Rome in size and shape. It 
colors better than Rome and has a higher, richer flavor. The fruit hangs to the 
tree better than Rome and may be harvested at least a week later. It is an 
excellent cooking and baking apple. It can be held in cold storage in good 
condition later than Rome. It is a cross of Gallia a Beauty and White Winter 
Pearmain. 
N. J. No. 2 
A firm, medium to large, attractive, early, green apple changing to yellow 
as it matures. It ripens a few days later than Starr, but a portion of the 
crop may be harvested with Starr in suitable condition for cooking. When 
fully mature it also is a good dessert apple. The trees come into bearing 
early and are productive, vigorous, hardy and resistant to fire-blight. A 
promising summer variety to ‘replace English Codling and possibly Starr in 
some areas. It is a cross between Melba and Tw enty Ounce Pippin. 
Ni No.S 
The fruit of this promising seedling resembles McIntosh in general ap- 
pearance. It develops more red color than McIntosh at New Brunswick and 
hangs to the tree five days to a week later. The tree is of medium size and 
productive. It is a promising substitute for McIntosh where the latter 
normally does not develop enough red color. 
N. J. No. 8 
An attractive, medium to large apple of high quality, ripening during 
the first week in August at New Brunswick. The fruit is medium firm and
