CRAB APPLES 
™ Dolgo—is a small, oblong, handsome red crab apple imported from Russia in 
1897 by the late Professor N. E. Hansen of the South Dakota Experiment 
Station. The fruit is full of juice, jellies easily, and makes a rich, ruby-red 
jelly of beautiful color and excellent flavor. The tree is hardy, vigorous, and 
productive; the season early September. 
~ Young America—produces abundantly, attractive red fruits of excellent size 
and quality. Jelly made from the fruit is a clear, beautiful red and splen- 
didly flavored. The tree is especially vigorous and hardy. The season is 
about the middle of September. Young America and Dolgo should be 
planted as ornamentals as well as for their fruit. 
ORNAMENTAL APPLES 
‘ Redfield—an apple for the lawn and other ornamental plantings because of 
its large and very dark pink flowers. The fruit is medium in size, dark deep 
solid red in color, with deep red flesh. The foliage is dark with a reddish 
green tinge early in the season. This and Redford are two very desirable 
ornamentals. 
™ Redford—a sister of Redfield and similar in all characters of tree and fruit. 
The petals are deep pink but not as dark as those of Redfield. The fruit is 
medium in size, deep dark solid red, with deep red flesh. The foliage has a 
characteristic reddish green tinge early in the season. Lovers of handsome 
ornamental apples will plant this sort and Redfield. 
~ Van Eseltine—a beautiful ornamental crab named in honor of the late origi- 
nator. Buds pendulous and red, while open flowers are semi-double and 
pinkish white. 
~~ Geneva #50-4—This is a beautiful! red flowered and red leaved crab apple. It 
was selected as an ornamental. 
NC DWARF APPLES 
Where space is limited it might be desirable to plant trees on a size controlling 
root system. The advantages of size controlling rootstocks are a smaller and 
earlier bearing tree. Experimentation with some of the dwarfing and semi- 
dwarfing apple rootstocks of the East Malling series, as E.M. IX and E.M. VII, 
has shown that the varieties listed can be grown satisfactorily on these stocks.
