\ LOWRY 
Virginia ranks high as an Apple producing State, growing many 
good varieties. Among her leaders is the Lowry, which originated in 
Nelson County, Virginia, and is believed to be a cross between the 
popular old-time Pilot and Virginia Winesap, possessing the good 
qualities of both. Medium to large, mahogany-red, as sweet as the 
Delicious but more easily grown and sells for as much. An ideal 
Apple for the roadside stand and truck trade, as well as it makes a 
beautiful storage pack. Remarkable keeper; keeping even better 
than Delicious in cold storage. 
Lowry Frequently Escapes Late Spring Frosts because of its long 
blooming period and hardiness. 
Lowry Trees Vigorous Growers. Large, long-lived, well-shaped trees 
which carry enormous crops, requiring little thinning.
