The red color and its admirable
shipping qualities enable the Baldwin
apple 10 sell for twenty five to fifty
cents per barrel IL ore than Greenincs,
IN most markets. The BALDWIN does
not show bruises as readily as the other
apple, and is less affected by scab or
bloiches, As an eating apple it is
greatly preferred, but for cooking. the
Greening has points of superiority.
The latter may yield more fruit than
the Baldwin, taking one year with an.
other, and is more likely to yield an.
nually. The Baldwin has an upright
growth that makes it easy to cultivate.
whereas the Greeuing has a low, spread
inS habit that does not facilitate the
cultivation which is now advised in the
commercial apple industry. Each
variety has its advantage; both are
therefore worthy of being raised on
any farm where they thrive, but
the Baldwin is above all the com
mercial apple. It's proper culture in
