APPLE Trees
Proper Variety Selections Will Lead To Greater Profits
STARR (4a) One of the finest early apples grown. Can
be picked over a long period of time. Large and of a fine
yellowish color. A great bearer and a valuable market
variety ; comes into fruiting very young.
SUMMER CHAMPION (4b) A bright red apple rip-
ening in midsummer, with good size and fair quahty.
The trees bear early and produce hea^T crops. We feel
this fine-looking apple should have a place in most
plantings of summer apples. It is good for local and
distant markets.
PURITAN (4c) A new Mcintosh type which picks
about with Early Mcintosh. It has a fine red-blush
color and averages larger than Early Mcintosh. It is
more acid than Early Mcintosh and rates fair to good
for dessert purposes. Puritan is recommended for trial in
orchard plantings.

RED GRAVENSTEIN (5) This favorite of many years
as a summer apple of fine quality and shipping ability
is now offered in a Red Strain. Large, well colored, with
slightly vellow flesh of fine quality. Tree is vigorous and
productive. Ripens somewhat irregularly and should be
picked several times.
BEACON (5a) A highly colored, early apple with ex-
cellent eating and shipping qualities. Ripens just before
Wealthy and after WiUiams' Early Red. The tree is
vigorous, healthy, and a heaw producer. Fruit hangs
well and can be picked over a long period of time to
get the best size and color. Averages 2%-inch fruit with
normal crop.
BLAZE (5b) A new Jonathan type apple ripening
about 31/^ weeks earlier than Jonathan. Fruit is medium
in size, attractively blushed with red over golden yellow,
and somewhat less tart than Jonathan. Tree is upright,
spreading, vigorous, and productive. Blooms two days
after Jonathan.
MILTON (6) Typical Mcintosh, coloring full red; very
good quality, about equal to Mcintosh, being same
texture apple. Tree hardy and vigorous. Ripens three
to four weeks before Mcintosh or just before Wealthy.
RED WARRIOR (6a) The tree is vigorous, well
formed similar to Mcintosh, and bears regularly. The
fruit is large, normally averaging better than 3 inches.
The skin is smooth, colored a brilliant red from stem to
calyx, and does not bruise easily. Its ripening season is
about with Wealthy or a little earlier. It is sub-acid in
flavor and is an excellent cooking variety. The apple is
/shaped nearly Hke a Stayman.
NIAGARA (6b) A 1962 introduction from New York
which provides a Mcintosh type apple about two weeks
earlier. In appearance, flavor, and tree habit, Niagara is
very similar to Mcintosh. Its desirable picking season
and similarity to Mcintosh should help its commercial
/acceptance.
V WEALTHY (7) This beautiful, moderate sized, bril-
liant red apple is of fine quality — one of the best of its
season. It is a relatively good keeper, and owing to the
hardiness of the tree, its adaptabihty to cold climates,
and early bearing habits, it can be profitable as a filler.
i SUMMER RAMBO (8) Large, flat, streaked red and
yellow, very tender, juicy and fine flavored. Tree is a verj'
vigorous, semi-spreading grower, hardy and productive.

scription on page 18. See color illustration on cover page.
IMP. ALL RED MclNTOSH (Sb) Our o^^^l special
selected strain of the famous Mcintosh apple. Known in
some areas as Imperial Mcintosh, this fine apple brings
the grower excellent blush-red color, large size, and con-
sistent crops. This is the finest red strain of Mcintosh we
yhave ever seen.
LOBO (9) About same season as Mcintosh, with a
larger apple that colors a more full red than regular
Mcintosh. Extra good quality. Tree equal to Mcintosh.
Comes highly recommended to replace the regular
Mcintosh for Middle Atlantic and southern growers.
CORTLAND (9a) An improved Mcintosh type. The
fruits of the two varieties are similar but those of
Cortland are more oblate, average larger, and are more
uniform in size; they have more color and the red is
lighter and brighter and the striping and splashes are
laid on differently. The taste of Cortland can hardly be
distinguished from that of Mcintosh ; the flesh is firmer
b^t just as juicy. The apples do not drop so readily and
ip better.
WAYNE (9b) Result of a cross of N. W. Greening x
Red Spy introduced in 1962 by New York. It matures
with Cortland, is of large size, and colored a solid
scarlet-blush. Flesh texture and flavor verj- similar to
Northern Spy. Trees bear early and annually, bloom
late. Wayne is a first-class apple for sauce, frozen, and
anned slice packs.
SMOKEHOUSE (lO) Comes into bearing moderately
young. It has a thin skin of yellow, striped with rather
a dull red, and is very attractive. A favorite of the home
orchard.
