“ Spartan—A very attractive McIntosh type apple maturing about two weeks 
after McIntosh. It has firmer flesh than McIntosh and has excellent dessert 
quality. It keeps in storage several weeks longer than McIntosh and is rec- 
ommended for trial where a McIntosh type apple, which may be picked 
after and stored longer than McIntosh, is wanted. 
‘S Sweet Delicious—fruits are flatter than those of Delicious—large and attrac- 
tive in size, color, and shape, with the sweet aromatic flavor of Delicious. 
The variety is an apple for home use where it will be chiefly appreciated 
for dessert and baking. Sweet Delicious is our best winter sweet variety. 
“Sweet McIntosh—suggests McIntosh in season, appearance, flavor, and aroma, 
but is sweet instead of subacid. The variety is primarily adapted for home use 
| —for baking and to eat out of hand. 
* Webster—A large handsome red streaked apple which should become a valuable 
processing variety. In preliminary processing tests, Webster has rated very 
high and this quality coupled with its early ripening period gives the north- 
eastern growers a variety to compete with the southern grown York Imperi- 
als. Webster produces heavy crops and is in season from October lst to 
December 15th. As it is a triploid and produces poor pollen, provisions must 
be made to insure ample pollination. 
N Wellington—is a large attractive red-streaked apple in season about a week 
ahead of Melba and unlike most early apples matures its fruit all at one time, 
hence requires only one picking. This variety appears to be superior com- 
mercially to other varieties in its season. In dessert quality this selection will 
rate fair to good but its fine processing qualities are its chief attribute and 
it shows real promise as an early commercial sauce apple. 
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.
