Nurseries (Horticulture) California Fresno Catalogs; Nursery stock California Fresno Catalogs; Trees California Fresno Catalogs; Fruit trees California Fresno Catalogs; Grapes California Fresno Catalogs; Fruit California Fresno Catalogs; Climbing pl. 6 FRESNO NURSERY COMPANY'S MOTTO:. Ben Davis RlftTTiark ^ne Bismarck was introduced from New Zealand and has OlolllcU JV proven to be one of the best introductions of recent years. Tree is of dwarfish habit, very hardy, bears when young and can be depended upon for regular and heavy crops. The fruit resembles somewhat the Alexander in appearance, being of large uniform size, roundish, and flattened at the base. The skin is yellow, washed and striped with various shades of red. The flesh is firm, tender and juicy. The Bismarck is best suited for culinary purposes. We do not hesitate to recommend the planting of this variety throughout all parts of California and particularly in the warm interior valleys. Ripens in September and keeps until November. "DlrjpiU RpTi Tnis variety is considered one of the really great commercial XMdCrV varieties of apples. The tree is hardy, moderately vigorous, having long drooping branches, with willowy laterals and rather dense growth. It comes into bearing young, is a good and regular producer. The fruit has a thin, tough, smooth skin of a deep brilliant red color, in- clined to be light yellow where shaded; is medium to large, roundish, symmet- trical and uniform both in size and shape. The flesh is whitish with a yellow tinge, crisp, juicy and of a mild sub-acid flavor; it does not bruise easily and this feature, combined with its many other good qualities, makes it very desir- able to producer and consumer alike, as it commands particular attention as a market variety, as well as for table use. Black Ben is approved in all sections of California, but is particularly rec- ommended for commercial planting in the higher altitudes. Ripens in October and in storage can be kept
