IMPROVED WINESAP 



A Glorified Selection of the Famous Winesap Comes to 

 the Planter with the same Beautiful Color — Same Quality — 

 Same Keeping Ability. 



"Seek and ye shall find"' is the motto at Bountiful Rid?e 

 in their search for Xew and Better fruits. For years fruit 

 growers from many sections have clamored for a L.A.RGE 

 WINESAP APPLE. Many types have come to our obser- 

 vation and when traced down were found wanting until 

 Mr. Harry W. Miller, President of The Consolidated Orchard 

 Co., Paw Paw. W. Va., told us of this type they have pro- 

 ducing 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 Stay- 

 man and has not failed to produce a heavy crop now for 

 over 25 consecutive 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 Winesap in 

 shape, color, quality and growth habits and at harvest time, 

 Mr. j.iiller has been able to pack most of the apples in the 

 2*4- up size, the balance going into the 2V>" grade. The 

 tree is a typical Winesap tree in growth, having the exact 

 leaf marking of the old Winesap. The Miller Bros, are bet- 

 ter known as the "Pioneer Orchardists of West Virginia" 

 and are producing more anples than anv other individual or 

 family group in the State today. We are proud that approx- 

 imately 70% of their producing orchards are trees we grew 

 for them. They are known almost nationally as authorities 

 on fruit production and varieties. It is fitting indeed that 

 an improved type of the Famous and Nationally known 

 Winesap apple slimiUl original? in their orchard.
