. SIMS SUMMER APPLE VARIETIES 
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 qualities. Its hardiness of 
tree and ability to stand cold climates, and young bearing habits, make it accept- 
ed in North as well as South. 
MAMMOTH MAIDEN BLUSH 
An old favorite that still holds its own among commercial orchard men. Al- 
though 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 than the common 
Maiden Blush. 
‘RED BIRD 
Extra early summer; flaming red; very hardy. Its appearance and high quality 
Wealthy make it demand a high market price on any market. Bears heavy annual crops. 
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. 
‘ANOKA — The Old Folks’ Apple 
Usually bears a light crop the following year after planting. The second year 
you will get a full-sized crop of fine Apples. It is one of the earliest varieties 
grown. Fruit is large, well-colored and of excellent 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. 
\SLODI — 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, roadside markets, or long distance shipment. 
HYSLOP CRAB a Yellow Transparent 
The best late fruiting Crab for pickles, \ DOLGO 
preserves and jelly. Lovely pink ornament- 
al blooms. 
A comparatively new and very unusual Crab Apple. It has been called the “Perfect 
Crab.” The fruit is strikingly beautiful, bright fiery red, borne in great profusion. It 
jells perfectly—even when dead ripe. Dolgo is free from blight and is rapidly displacing 
the old varieties such as Transcendent and Hyslop. Dolgo makes a beautiful lawn tree 
and may be used on the home grounds instead of Mountain Ash. 
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. : 
HIBERNAL 
_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, collar rot, sun scald, etc., 
try Hibernal or Virginia Crab. You will be well paid for your extra work, because of 
younger bearing, longer lived trees.
