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, frviit showy. Adapted to northern and exposed localities. 



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



Yellow Belleflower. — 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.
