All of the apple trees available through the New Jersey Apple Institute are 
on Hibernal or Virginia Crab rootstocks. In addition to being very hardy, 
Hibernal stock is more resistant to disease than most domestic seedlings. Trees 
on Hibernal stock tend to induce early fruiting and strong, wide angled 
crotches. 
N. J. No. 1 
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 Beauty and White Winter 
Pearmain. 
N. J. No. 2 
A firm, medium to large, attractive, early, green apple changing to an at- 
tractive 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 cross between Melba and Twenty Ounce Pippin. 
N. J. No. 3 
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. 
‘ STARR 
A large, green cooking apple harvested in July in central and southern 
New Jersey. All of the trees of this variety are on Hibernal rootstock, which 
is resistant to collar rot.
