f  Red  Apples 


The  New  Red  Apples  described  in  the  following  pages 
show  the  way  to  better  apple  profits  for  growers. 

These  new  apples  produce  a  much  greater  percentage 
of  Extra  Fancy  fruit  due  to  added  color.  Extra  Fancy  is 
the  profit  maker. 

The  Production  Manager  of  the  American  Fruit  Grow¬ 
ers,  Inc.,  speaking  before  the  Washington  State  Horticul¬ 
tural  Association,  estimated  that  the  additional  red  color 
resulting  in  increased  Extra  Fancy  grade,  produced  by 
three  of  these  new  varieties  would  result  in  an  increased 
per-acre  profit  to  the  grower  approximately  as  follows: 

RICHARED  DELICIOUS— A  per  acre  profit 
of  $030.00  instead  of  $490.00 — or  a  net  increas¬ 
ed  profit  of  28%  per  acre  to  the  grower. 

BLACK  JON — That  Blackjon— due  to  earlier 
color  and  better  shipping  and  keeping  quality, 
would  show  a  $210.00  per  acre  profit,  as  against 
$70.00  per  acre  average  loss  on  common  Jon¬ 
athan — actually  a  difference  of  $280.00  per 
acre  in  favor  of  Blackjon. 


In  the  development  of  Richared  Delicious,  nineteen 
(19)  separate  and  distinct  strains  of  “red”  Delicious  were 
secured  and  tested.  They  were  all  different.  Some  had 
no  merit — something  lacking  in  SHAPE,  COLOR,  SIZE, 
KEEPING  QUALITIES,  etc.  Nothing  has  been  found  that 
equals  RICHARED. 

Likewise  in  the  development  of  Blackjon,  Miller's 
Ruby  Rome — the  most  thorough  tests  were  conducted  over 
a  period  of  time — and  each  variety  reproduced  through 
successive  generations.  Each  and  every  one  of  these  new 
varieties  has  been  most  carefully  selected — most  thoroughly 
tested — and  conclusively  proved  as  to  merit. 

A  Word  of  Caution  to  Planters. 

Quality  merchandise  is  often  imitated.  Various  so- 
called  ‘‘red”  strains  are  being  offered  for  sale.  The  ante¬ 
cedents  of  many  such  “strains”  are  indefinite — their  merits 
uncertain.  Very  few,  if  any,  have  been  submitted  to  the 
rigid  tests  and  long  periods  of  actual  performance  that 
has  placed  these  new  red  apples  in  front  rank.  Do  not 
be  satisfied  with  something  represented  “just  as  good  as” 
— insist  upon  planting  tested,  proved  varieties,  sold  under 
genuine  trade-marked  names. 

These  new  varieties  are  being  grown  by  the  country's 
leading  fruit  growers.  They  are  known  and  proved  for 
quality  and  merit  and  have  the  endorsement  of  leading 
horticultural  authorities  everywhere. 


Nursery  Packing  Plant 


Our  new  nursery  packing  house  is  one  of  the  most 
modern  in  the  country.  It  has  insulated  walls  and  roof; 
this  enables  us  to  hold  nursery  stock  dormant  and  in  good 
condition  for  planting  until  late  in  the  season,  when  trees 
out-of-doors  are  in  full  leaf.  Here  trees  and  plants  are 
graded  and  prepared  for  shipment  under  the  proper  con¬ 
ditions,  with  every  safeguard  against  exposure  or  damage. 


Information  Regarding 
“Richared  Delicious”,  “Blackjon”  and 
“Miller’s  Ruby  Rome  Beauty” 

RICHARED  DELICIOUS  is  the  one  improved  strain  of 
Delicious  that  is  a  “known  quantity'”  and  that  HAS  MADE 
GOOD. 

Previous  to  its  introduction  in  the  year  1926,  Richared 
had  been  submitted  to  rigid  tests.  It  was  selected  as  the 
most  outstanding  red  strain  of  Delicious  from  a  total  of 
nineteen  separate,  distinct  types  that  were  tested. 

Richared  Delicious  is  the  most  highly  developed,  best 
colored,  best  keeping  strain  of  Delicious  grown.  Richared 
is  preferred  for  commercial  orchards  by  leading  apple 
growers. 

Growers  who  have  Richared  Delicious  in  bearing  are 
enthusiastic  about  its  outstanding,  early,  cherry-red  color, 
and  its  superior  keeping  qualities. 

RICHARED  GROWERS  SAY: 

BOLLINGER  ORCHARDS,  Methow,  Wash.— “In  every 
way  I  am  pleased  with  Richared.  I  feel  safe  in  saying 
that  I  will  get  at  least  25%  more  Extra  Fancy  Richared 
than  of  the  old  Delicious.  I  think  the  bright  red  of  the 
Richared  the  most  attractive  of  all  red  Delicious.” 

F.  A.  SCHELL. — <fFrom  my  400  trees  top-worked  five 
years  ago  to  Richared  Delicious  I  picked  this  season 
2,400  loose  boxes  of  Richared  Delicious  apples.  These 
graded  out  between  98%  and  99%  Extra  Fancy  so  far 
as  color  is  concerned  and  out  of  the  2,400  boxes  there 
were  about  20  boxes  that  were  smaller  than  size  113s.” 

Planters  should  be  very  cautious  about  planting  a 
strain  of  Delicious  sold  merely  as  “Red  Delicious.”  Num¬ 
erous  so-called  “Red  Delicious”  are  offered  from  various 
sources.  Frequently  such  strains  are  of  doubtful  origin  and 
have  not  been  submitted  to  the  rigid  tests  necessary  to 
prove  their  worth. 

RICHARED  is  a  definitely  proven  strain  of  known 
merit.  Planters  purchasing  genuine  RICHARED  trees  bear¬ 
ing  the  trade-marked  RIOHARED  label,  may  be  assured  of 
the  finest,  most  highly  developed,  improved  strain  of 
Delicious  obtainable. 

BLACKJON  is  a  new  strain  of  Jonathan,  identical  in 
shape,  size,  productiveness,  etc.,  with  common  Jonathan. 
But  Blackjon  colors  earlier  than  common  Jonathan — and 
colors  approximately  98%  Extra  Fancy  for  color,  as  against 
approximately  only  23%  common  Jonathan. 

Because  Blackjon  colors  earlier,  it  can  be  picked  when 
in  firm,  prime  condition,  resulting  in  a  better  shipping 
apple  and  far  better  quality.  Reaching  the  early  markets 
it  brings  much  better  prices. 

In  an  address  before  the  Washington  State  Horticul¬ 
tural  Association,  the  Production  Manager  of  the  American 
Fruit  Growlers,  Inc.,  stated  that  returns  over  the  last  five- 
year  period  showed  a  return  for  the  first  pool  of  Jonathans 
of  40c  per  box  more  money  than  for  later  Jonathans,  and 
further  remarked: 

“  We  are  very  careful  to  observe  the  color 
of  Blackjon  at  the  time  of  the  closing  of  our  first 
pool  and  were  convinced  that  all  of  these  apples 

could  at  that  time  have  been  marketed  in  the  first 
pool.”

MILTON  NURSERY' COMPANY 


WHAT  OTHER  AUTHORITIES  SAY  ABOUT  BLACKJON: 
F.  E.  DeSELLEM,  Production  Manager,  Jim  Hill  Grow¬ 
ers. — “There  is  no  question  in  my  mind  that  this  im¬ 
proved  Jonathan  is  going  to  surpass  the  ordinary  Jon¬ 
athan,  both  as  to  earliness  and  improved  color.” 

W.  A.  LUCE,  Orchard  Adviser,  Earl  Fruit  Co. — “I  be¬ 
lieve  this  apple  to  be  a  real  asset  to  the  fruit  industry 
of  the  Northwest.” 

A.  R.  CHASE,  County  Agent. — “This  new  sport  would 
appear  to  be  as  valuable  in  improving  our  Jonathan 
variety  as  the  red  strain  of  Delicious  has  been  in  im¬ 
proving  the  latter  variety.” 

EARLY  JONATHANS  PAY — A  prominent  Wenatchee, 
Washington,  grower  says:  “Last  season  my  Delicious 
crop  averaged  $1.92  per  box,  but  my  EARLY  combina¬ 
tion  Jonathans  brought  me  $2.08  per  box.  Had  my 
Jonathans  been  Blackjon  I  could  undoubtedly  have 
gotten  that  price  or  more  for  my  entire  crop.” 

For  early  districts  where  early  apples  are  profitable, 
Blackjon  is  recommended  as  one  of  the  best  in  its  class.

Miller’s  Ruby  Rome 


The  strain  of  Rome  Beauty  being  offered  under  the 
name  of  Miller’s  Ruby  Rome  is  the  same  that  heretofore 
has  been  called  “Black  Rome  Beauty.”  A  number  of  our 
patrons  as  well  as  Horticulturists  have  advised  a  change 
of  name  for  various  well  founded  reasons.  This  strain  of 
Rome  Beauty  has  proven  to  be  the  best  in  existence  in 
competition  with  almost  a  score  of  Rome  Beauty  sports,  in 
texture  and  color.  The  color  of  the  Miller’s  Ruby  Rome 
strain  is  a  dark  ruby  red,  solid  in  color,  not  showing  the 
greenish  undertone.  Under  any  conditions  this  apple  ripens 
to  a  darker  color  than  the  ordinary  strain  of  Rome  Beauty. 
It  is  this  deep  color  all  over  that  puts  the  most  of  the 
fruit  in  the  Extra  Fancy  class.  Quality  is  better  than  the 
parent  Rome  Beauty,  being  finer  in  texture.  In  all  other 
respects  the  tree  is  typical  of  the  old  Rome  Beauty,  bear¬ 
ing  early,  consistently  and  heavy.  All  the  advantages  of 
the  ordinary  Rome  with  the  addition  of  the  color.  Com¬ 
mercial  orchardists  are  planting  the  RUBY  ROME  in  pref¬ 
erence  to  all  other  strains  as  it  is  in  a  class  by  itself  with 
no  competition.

WE  MAKE  NO  GUARANTEE  EVERGREENS  Wl  LL  GROW 
In  order  to  handle  Evergreens  and  Broadleaf  Evergreens 

in  the  most  satisfactory  way,  and  to  better  insure  their 
growth,  these  plants  are  dug  with  a  ball  of  earth  which 
is  held  in  place  by  sewing  around  it  a  strip  of  burlap.  In 
planting,  dig  a  hole  large  and  deep  enough  to  take  in  the 
ball  and  place  the  plant  in  its  normal  position.  Cut  the 
top  string  and  roll  back  the  burlap  but  do  not  remove  it 
entirely.  Work  fine  dirt  around  the  ball  using  plenty  of 
water  to  wash  the  dirt  into  all  the  holes.  Cover  up  to  the 
top  of  the  ground  and  water  frequently.  This  is  the  best 
way  to  handle  this  class  of  plants.  These  plants  have  to 
be  grown  in  the  nursery  row  several  years  before  they 
are  large  enough  to  sell.  The  extra  time  required  to  grow 
the  plants  and  the  work  required  to  dig  and  prepare  for 
shipment  necessitates  charging  what  may  seem  a  high 
price.

ROSES — Oregon  grown 

Oregon  grown  roses  are  known  East  and  West  for 
their  superior  blooming  quality  and  hardiness.  Our  roses 
are  grown  on  rich,  sandy  loam,  thus  securing  a  particularly 
fine  root  system.  We  ship  only  one  grade,  strong  2  year 
No.  1  Oregon  grown  bushes.  They  will  bloom  the  first  sea¬ 
son  planted. 

When  planting,  prune  the  stems  back  to  about  six 
inches.  Trim  the  ends  of  the  roots,  leaving  a  new,  clean 
cut.  Plant  in  roomy  hole,  with  bud  or  graft  about  two 
inches  below  level  of  ground.  Water  well  and  firm  soil 
about  the  roots.  Then  hill  the  plants  up  completely,  cover¬ 
ing  the  tops  with  soil  to  prevent  them  from  drying  out 
When  the  foliage  starts  gradually*  draw  the  soil  away  from 
the  stems  to  a  level  with  the  ground. 

Our  selection  of  roses  contains  the  best  of  the  Stand¬ 
ard  Varieties  and  many  of  the  New  and  Popular  introduc¬
