Experiment Station. Although this variety was 
introduced twenty-five years ago, it is considered 
a new variety, because fruit growers and lovers of 
fruit are just beginning to realize its many assets. 
1. A regular annual bearer. 
2. Has the flavor of the McIntosh—yet keeps 
longer and bruises less easily. 
3. Hangs to the tree. Not inclined to be an early 
dropper. 
4. One of the best pollinizers for other varieties. 
The only Apple that will not oxidize. 
Or 
Housewives like it because the flesh does not turn 
brown when used in Waldorf and other salads. 
The Cortland is a variety that you should have 
in your home orchard. The tree is an excellent 
grower, and has very attractive foliage. The fruit 
is large, deep red color, covered with a deep pur- 
plish bloom.
