RED DELICIOUS
New ! EARLY COLORING — EARLY RIPENING — EARLY BEARING
SKYLINE SUPREME is a tree sport of the Starking
variety originating in the orchards of Wm. E. Dalton,
high in the hills of the Blue Ridge, near Hendersonville.
N. C. It is particularly outstanding because of its early
coloring and early ripening habits.
Fruits of SKYLINE SUPREME reach full color and
maturity several weeks ahead of such varieties as Richa-
red and Starking, and many days earlier than most of
the other recently introduced early coloring types. They
color equally well under shaded conditions or in normal
light. In the Hendersonville area, where all the testing
has been done, fruits of SKYLINE SUPREME have
normally had sufficient color by the first of August to
pack 100% Extra Fancy. Actual maturity is about 10
days later but still much earlier than its closest com-
petitors.
The color of SKYLINE SUPREME is a beautiful
blush-red without a trace of a stripe. This fine apple is
endowed with a double pigmented layer adding brilliance
and lustre to its color.
L'nder Appalachian conditions, SKYLINE SUPREME
tends to exhibit a strong habit toward the sheep-nosed
condition which is prevalent among western-grown De-
licious. The tree is vigorous, bears young, and sets large
crops of good-sized, highly colored fruits. The blooms of
SKYLINE SUPREME are similar to and come at
about the same time as other types of Red Dehcious.
They also need pollination for best results.
SKYLINE SUPREME is truly of eastern origin, and
we feel it is much more adapted to our general condi-
tions than types from other areas. From our observations
and comparisons of many newly introduced types over
the last se^■eral years, we heartily suggest its trial in all
Red Delicious growing areas in the eastern United
States, even at low elevations.
SKYLINE SUPREME is a regular tree type sort of
Delicious. We have grown them on semi-dwarf (Mailing
VII) anchor rooted trees for those who would hke the
smaller tree. Price is 10c per tree higher in all grades
and quantities than regular apple varieties, standard
and dwarf.

KING LUSCIOUS is probably the largest good apple
to come to the planter in many years. KING LL^SCIOUS
was found by the late Wm. M. Dalton of Henderson-
ville, N. C., who later crossed it with Red Delicious and
King David, resulting in the fine apple which we are
pleased to introduce to our trade.
KING LUSCIOUS is a very large, highly colored
apple with good keeping, eating, and cooking qualities.
The skin is a deep red at maturity with a beautiful
bloom. The flesh is pure white with excellent flavor. The
season of ripening is with Rome Beauty and Stayman,
although it may be picked sooner for cooking purposes
if desired. The tree is a young and annual bearer, bloom-
ing a week after Rome Beauty to make it almost
completely frost-proof.
The tree is semi-dwarf in habit, sets its scaffold
branches well, and needs httle pruning. Both tree and
fruit are resistant to apple scab.
We beheve KING LUSCIOUS has a place in every
planting, not only because of its large size and attrac-
tive appearance, but because it is the most frost-resis-
tant apple variety we know of.
Please refer to inside back cover for color illustration
of this new and wonderful apple.
