Practically all of the apple trees available through the New Jersey Apple 
Institute are on Hibernal 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. 
A limited number of Jerseyred are available on Virginia Crab and Domes- 
tic roots. A few N. J. No. 2and N. J. No. 3 trees are also available on Domes- 
tic roots. 
~ JERSEYRED (N. J. No. 1) 
A large, attractive, winter apple similar to Rome in size and shape. Jersey- 
red introduced as N. J. No. 1 in 1947 is the first apple seedling originated at 
the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station to be named. It originated 
as a cross of Gallia Beauty (a double red strain of Rome) and White Winter 
Pearmain, a late winter apple with excellent storage quality. 
Jerseyred hangs to the tree later than Rome and keeps longer in storage 
in good condition. It retains a crisp, snappy flesh longer than Rome, is a more 
desirable eating apple and fully equa! to Rome for cooking, including baking. 
The Jerseyred tree is a strcng grower in the nursery and orchard. It comes 
into bearing early, has strong, thick branches and twigs, and is resistant to 
fire-blight. 
Jerseyred wil prolong the Rome harvesting season and provide an attrac- 
tive winter apple with better quality than Rome or the double red strains of 
Rome. 
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 por- 
tion 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 prom- 
ising summer variety to replace English Codling and possibly Starr in some 
areas. It is a cross between Melba and Twenty Ounce Pippin. 
N. J. No. 3
