~ RED DUCHESS. This is a strain of the Duchess. The only

are larger because of the earlier marketing quality. Plant a few 
of these in your orchard this year.

early Apple; medium size; a beautiful clear yellow; smooth, 
waxen, brilliant skin. Unexcelled for pies, tarts and apple 
sauce. Tree extremely hardy, upright, compact grower; often 
used as a filler; reliable cropper.

even the Red Delicious. A dependable cropper and a good

ruby-red color of the Stayman type. Absolutely does not crack.
