RED ROME (No. 262 Type) (i^^J 



This type Red Rome comes to us from the far West and has 

 been planted widely in the Appalachian fruit area. Its merits 

 over Gallia Beauty are questionable, but some growers like it 

 better. 



The JONATHAN APPLE, grown from coast to coast, ranks 

 today as one of the best general purpose apples. A favorite 

 of Its season on domestic and foreign markets.

Jonathan. Tree is moderately vigorous of the Rome type, heavy 

 annual bearers. Lateral branches form wide angles. Foliage is 

 not susceptible to apple scab. The skin tough, moderately thick, 

 developing heavy wax when in storage. The flesh is yellowish- 

 white, firm but fine-grained, crisp and juicy. The flavor is mild 

 sub-acid, aromatic, very good to excellent quality as dessert and 

 cooked. Does not spot as Jonathan. Should do well in areas where 

 Rome. Jonathan and Winesap are commercial varieties. Hangs 

 well to tree keeping until March in storage.

For years fruit growers from many sections have clamored for 

 a LARGE WINESAP APPLE. Many types have come to our ob- 

 servation and when traced down were found wanting until Mr. 

 Harry W. Miller. Paw Paw. W. Va.. told us of this type they 

 have producing in their well known Martins Mountain orchard 

 and which when investigated proved to be more than he claimed. 



The original tree stands in a block of the Regular Stayman and 

 has not failed to produce a heavy crop now for over 25 consecu- 

 tive years, the fruits being as large or larger some years than 

 the regular Stayman on adjoining trees. 



The fruit has every characteristic of the Old Winesape in shape, 

 color, quality and growth habits and at harvest time. Mr. Miller 

 has been able to pack most of the apples in the 2%" up size, the 

 balance going into the 2V2" grade. The tree is a typical Wine- 

 sap tree in growth, having the exact leaf marking of the old 

 Winesap.

REDCHIEF 



CAVALIER 



■ent introduction by the Virginia Experi- 

 Station which from observation and re- 

 ports gives promise of being one of the best of our white fleshed 

 Nectarines. Fruits are good size, highly colored and freestone, 

 with very pleasing flavor. Trees are thrifty and productive with 

 fruits showing marked resistance to brown-rot. Redchief should be 

 considered in every planting of Nectarines. Ripens 13 days before 

 Elberta. 



ntroduction by Virginia Experiment 

 ich gives promise of replacing some 

 of our yellow fleshed Nectarines. Cavalier is more highly colored 

 than Redchief. not quite as large, but good size, fine yellow flesh 

 of very good quality and seems to have marked resistance to 

 brown-rot. The tree is vigorous and productive. Ripens 8 days 

 before Elberta. 



47n. Redbud is white 

 ipens about 



27 days before Elberta. The skin is a good bright red with smooth 

 finish and highly attractive. The flesh is above average in firm- 

 ness, medium in texture, with good quality. The trees are of 

 average vigor and produce heavy sets of buds. They are highly 

 resistant to brown rot when the standard peach spray schedule 

 is followed. The buds are more tolerant to late frost than Redchief 

 but slightly less than those of Cavalier. 



I CYIKIAT^M Is a yellow fieshed nectarine, formerly test- 

 bCAin\7IV/n ed as V.P.I. 34n. It ripens about 17 days 

 l)efore Elberta with average sized fruits about 2" in diameter 

 and distinctly ovate in shape. The skin is deep yellow overlaid 

 with red giving an attractive appearance. The flesh is of medium 

 texture, free from the pit. and its flavor is comparable to Cava- 

 lier. Like Redchief. Cavalier, and Redbud, Lexington is also 

 highly resistant to brown rot when the regular peach spray 

 schedule is used. The trees are highly vigorous and set a large 

 amount of fruit buds which are relatively hardy from late frosts.
