WinEsap, I, 48-52. — Ellwanger & Barry, 1891. Reference: Annual 

 Report, 1896, p. 69. 



The trees were vigorous and productive; first fruits (few specimens) 

 1895. Every tree killed by winter of 1906-07. The fruit is very dis- 

 appointing in New England. The typical Winesap flavor is not devel- 

 oped, and its quality is not much better than that of Ben Davis.
