The Standard of The Trade — Best Commercial Varieties
APPLE Trees
RED YORKING (15a) Another red sport of York
Imperial that has merit. We offer this variety to our cus-
tomers who have experienced more success with Red
Yorking than Colora Red York because of site condi-
tions, etc.
MELROSE (15b) A new late-keeping winter apple
that is a cross of Jonathan and Delicious. Tree blooms
later than either parent. Fruits ripen just before Stay-
man, keep well in cold storage until April, and so far
have proven free of Jonathan spot.
Fruits are well covered with an attractive carmine
and have a Hve yellow undertone. Fruits larger than
Jonathan — firm, crisp, juicy, not as tart as Jonathan or
as sweet as Delicious. Excellent cooking and dessert
quality.
Tree bears moderately young, is upright, spreading,
with good crotch angles, and develops to a reasonably
large size.
'Double red stayman— 201 Type (I6) one
of the newer introductions which has found favor
with some growers. Trees and fruit characteristics
similar to Blaxtayman except that it has a more brilliant
color which lays on earlier and does not get the dark
shade often found in some Stayman types. Our observa-
tions show this type to compare very much with our
Early Red Stayman.
RUBY A promising late-keeping apple resulting from
a cross between Gallia Beauty and Starking. Ruby has
great eye appeal because of its striking, brilliant over-all
carmine-red. The tree resembles Rome in growth, bears
early and tends to produce annually. Blooms about
with Rome and Gallia and just after Delicious. Picking
date is about with Rome or just before Stayman. As a
dessert apple the flavor is good, surpassing that of
Rome Beauty. It is somewhat juicy, neither sharp nor
sweet but pleasingly mild; cooking does not detract
from the flavor but seems to improve it; whether baked
or stewed, the flesh has tendency to hold its shape Well.
Fruits hold well in storage into April and May, being
less susceptible to scald them than Rome Beauty.
KING LUSCIOUS (16b) See page 18 for full descrip-
tion. Color photo on inside back cover.
WINTER BANANA (17) Vigorous grower; early
bearer. Fruit medium to large, smooth and handsome
golden yellow, usually shaded with red blush. Flesh fine
grained, rich sub-acid, aromatic ; highest quality.
BALDWIN (17a) Buds were selected from one of the
finest producing Baldwin trees ever observed. No type
yields larger crops, bears shipment better or is more
attractive in color, size and shape than the CoUier
Baldwin. It is esteemed as an eating apple and for
cooking.
GALLIA BEAUTY — Red Rome (i8) Ongmated in
Ohio and is a typical Rome type tree, being thrifty,
hardy, and productive. The fruit of the Galha Beauty
colors a briUiant bright red, without stripe, and seems
to be of higher quahty than the regular Rome Beauty
and keeps exceptionally well in storage. The Gallia
Beauty will size up equal to the regular Rome, but
many of the other inferior, so-called Red Rome types,
will not size up satisfactorily. Again we urge you to
plant only the Genuine Gallia Beauty. We offer you
the best, and charge you no more.
JERSEY RED (18a) A cross of Galha Beauty and
White Winter Pearmin. Fruits are large round-oblate
and color a deep attractive red. Very firm and late
keeping as Rome. Holds to tree exceptionally well. The
tree is very vigorous, with large heavy foliage resistant
to bhght and breakdown. Fruit seems a little better
quality than most Roman types.
ROME BEAUTY (ISb) Keeps in good condition till
May and June. Large, round, mottled and striped to
handsome shades of red; flavor and quality way above
the average. Appearance and size are its valuable points;
always sells and always brings good prices.
^-'REb ROME — No. 262 Type (iSc) This type
Red Rome comes to us from the far West and has been
planted widely in the Appalachian fruit area. Its merits
over Gallia Beauty are questionable, but some growers
lik^it better.
' CRANDALL (ISd) A cross between Rome Beauty and
Jonathan. Tree is a moderately vigorous, heavy annual
bearer. Lateral branches form wide angles. Fohage is
not susceptible to apple scab. The tough skin, mod-
erately thick, develops heavy wax when in storage. The
flesh is yellowish white, firm but fine grained, crisp and
juicy. The flavor is mild sub-acid, aromatic, very good
to excellent quality as dessert and cooked. Does not
spot as Jonathan.
BOUNTIFUL IMPROVED WINESAP (i9) A glori-
fied selection of the famous Winesap with the same
beautiful color — same quahty — same keeping abihty.
Found years ago in the orchard of The Consohdated
Orchard Co. of Paw Paw, W. Va. This strain produces
heavy annual crops of fruit that, very often, is as large
as Stayman. The fruit has every characteristic of the
Old Virginia Winesap in shape, color, quality, and
growth habits. The tree is typical Winesap, including
leaf markings. Bountiful Strain Imp. Winesap has be-
come a favorite with orchardists for local and long-
distance sales. Especially popular as an extra long keep-
ing variety for use in polyethylene bags.
