APPLE Trees
The Nation's Choice foi/Flne Fruit Trees of Proven Merit
EARLY RED STAYMAN (Neipling's)
CORTLAND (Sa) An improved Mcintosh type. The
fruits of the two varieties are similar but those of
Cortland are more oblate, a^•erage 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
but just as juicy. The apples do not drop so readily and
ship better.
WAYNE (8b) 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 very similar to
Northern Spy. Trees bear early and annually, bloom
late. WajTie is a first-class apple for sauce, frozen, and
canned slice packs.
BRITEMAC (8c) A new Mcintosh type apple that
ripens about one week later. It hangs better than
Mcintosh in New Jersey and Eastern Pexmsjdvania.
Fruits resemble Cortland, are of good quality, and not
considered good for processing. Trees are hardy, strong,
not as large as Mcintosh. Blooms midseason. Trees on
'EM. Vll rootstock onlv.
CRAB APPLE
HYSLOP Season September to October; tree
\agorous, very hardy. Fruit medium yellow
grounded with heavy shadings of deep crimson
and splashes of maroon with heavy blue bloom.
FJesh fine, firm-, yellow, astringent. Bears abun-
dantly in clusters, which makes tree exceedingly
ornamental.
POLGO A handsome red crab apple of medium
size. The fruit jellies easily and makes rich ruby-
red jelly. Tree hardy, vigorous, productive, me-
dium size and especially adapted to ornamental
planting.

IMP. ALL RED JONATHAN (9) This is a special
bud-selected strain of the famous Jonathan apple. We
have tested it in everj' section of the countrj-, in trial
plots and commercial orchards, for more than twent.'
years and have found it superior in most all cases.
Highh' colored Jonathan apples bring the fancj- prices.
Use this fine, proven red strain of Jonathan for replant-
ing and new planting work. We are sure it will satisfy
your needs.
GRIMES GOLDEN (9a) An apple of the highest
quality. It is one of the fanc.^ dessert apples and ranks
with Dehcious and Jonathan on the market. Medium to
large, bright yellow; flesh fine grained, juicy, with a verj'
pleasing spicy flavor. The tree is hardy, grows upright
and is quite disease resistant. Highly recommended and
widely planted to pollinate seK-sterile varieties.
/
'IDARED (9b) A cross between Wagner and Jonathan.
Its season is with or a little later than Jonathan. Fruits
are medium to large. Stems medium long, slender; ca\-ity
broad, deep ; calyx small, basin shallow. Strikingly beau-
tiful bright red color. Skin smooth, medium thick, waxen;
dots sparse, inconspicuous; rich yellow under-color.
Fruits hold form as well as Rome when baking. Creamy
white, smooth-textured flesh. Tree form resembles
Jonathan, more upright, spreading, seems rather resistant
to bhght. A regular bearer.

SPARTAN (9c) A very attractive Mcintosh type
ripening about a week later than Mcintosh. Flesh is
fnm and dessert quahty is good. Storage hfe is weeks
longer than Mcintosh. We recommend it for trial, where
a Mcintosh type that can be picked later and stored
logger is desired.
TWENTY OUNCE (lO) Fruit exceptionally large,
juicy and crisp, sub-acid; color green, with slight blush
and red stripe. Tree thrifty and very productive, gener-
ally recognized as our best summer baking apple.
. OPALESCENT (lOa) Ver.- large, brilliant dark red
all over. Tree bears when young; very proHfic. Average
quahty. Its size and beauty recommend it for planting
in, central and northern areas.
^ PACIFIC GOLD (10b) Pacific Gold originated as a
chance seedhng in southwest Oregon and was introduced
in the late 40's by J. E. Miller of Cahfornia. The tree
is moderate in size, with well-spaced, strong, wide-
angled limbs. It bears when young and j-ields hea^T
crops annually. The fruit of Pacific Gold is large, with
crisp, tender flesh, quite sweet, and of fine dessert
quality. The skin is yellow, looking much hke Yellow
Delicious and Mutsu. The season is late fall or early
winter. Pacific Gold keeps well in storage and should
be tried in areas where russetting is a problem with
Yellow Delicious.
V-'SPIGOLD (lOc) A ver.- high quality, dual-purpose
apple from a cross of Red Spy x Golden Delicious.
Matures about with Golden Delicious. Spigold has ex-
ceptional quality and should be an excellent home-
garden variety.
