HOBBS & SONS, BRIDGEPORT, INDIANA 49 FRUIT DEPARTMENT The Apple is the first in importance of all fruits. It will thrive on nearly any well-drained soil. Its period of ripening, unlike other fruits, extends nearly through the entire year. By making a careful selection, a constant succession can be obtained. For family use there is no fruit that is more indispensable. No fruit is so healthful and many physicians say that if a person would eat an Apple a day they could dispense with doctor bills.

An excellent early Apple. Tree vig-# orous and upright, hardy and productive. A valuable variety for home or market. Flesh yellow, tender, pleasant, sub-acid; good, core small. Last of July and first of August. We consider this one of our most desirable sum- mer Apples; ripens over 3 or 4 weeks' time. CARSON. Fruit medium to large, from one- third to one-half larger than Yellow Trans- parent; roundish-oval; creamy-white skin over- laid with streaks and splotches of fiery pink- ish-carmine; flesh white, crisp, juicy, tart, aromatic; ripens one week to ten days before Yellow Transparent.

Small or medium; deep red; flesh very white, tender, juicy, with a brisk, sub-acid flavor; very good. Tree very vigorous, upright, an early and abundant bearer. Season,
