214 THE AMERICAN APPLE ORCHARD 



Wine. Medium, oblate, yellow red, fair, late. 



Winesap. Medium, oblong, yellow red, acid, good, very late. Tree 

 weak and subject to disease, for which reason the variety can 

 seldom be grown at a profit. Fruit of high quality, however, 

 and a favorite for home use. 



Winter St. Lawrence. Medium, round, red striped, good, late, 

 dessert. A good and profitable apple in lower Ontario and 

 Upper Quebec. 



Wolf River. Very large, oblate, red striped, fair, medium. Tree 

 hardy, fruit showy. Adapted to northern and exposed localities. 



Yates. Small, oblate, conic, yellow red striped, fair, very late. 



Yellow Belle flower. Large, oblong, conic, yellow red, acid, very 

 good, late. Formerly a favorite in the eastern states, but now 

 grown commercially chiefly on the Pacific coast. 



Yellow Newtown. Medium, oblate, yellow red, acid, best, very 

 late. A favorite in California and in Virginia (under the name 

 of Albermarle). A variety of high quality where well grown. 



Yellow Transparent. Medium, conic, yellow, acid, fair, early. 

 Very hardy. Adapted to the cold regions of northern New 

 England and Quebec. Sometimes profitable for sale in local 

 markets, but too tender for shipping far. 



Yopp. Large, conic, yellow red, fair, medium. 



York Imperial. Medium, oblate, irregular, lop-sided, yellow red 

 striped, fair, late. This is a really successful commercial 

 variety in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and neighboring states.
