BOIXTIFI L STRAIN 



IMPROVED WINESAP 



Appealing: red color all over the apple two weeks earlier 

 puts this apple to market at g-reater profits. 



Obsex'vations covering many years prove Xeiplings to be 

 superior to other Red Stayman we have found. You will not 

 g-o wrong' when you plant this strain of bright Red Stayman. 



Colors 100% all over the apple from 10 to 20 days before 

 the regular Stayman. Growers can pick the entire crop at one 

 picking if desired and avoid losses. Relieves the large grow- 

 er of Staj'man of his picking problem. Cold storage tests 

 show it will keep through to following ■Slay and come out 

 with less scald, more flavor and more snap than any other 

 type Stayman. It's different — It's what you want — It has 

 that natural full bright Stayman finish. Originated with the 

 late F. S. Neipling. Waterford. N. .1., and was discovered 

 among the first trees he planted of Blaxtavman in 1929. 



THE FRUIT COLORS A BRILLIANT ATTRACTIVE 

 RED ripening early and having its brilliant, bright red col- 

 or, we recommend it for all Stayman producing areas. 



We OFFER THIS FIXE APPLE AT THE SAME PRICES 

 PER TREE AS OTHER STANDARD VARIETIES LISTED 

 ON PAGE 17. Can supply these in both one and two year 

 trees this year. 



FRANKLIN 



A NEW AND PROMISING APPLE 



Coming From Ohio Experimental Station. 



For 15 years the Franklin apple variety, introduced by the 

 Ohio Experimental Station, has been under continuous ob- 

 servation. It is a resulting seedling obtained by fertilizing 

 Mcintosh flowers with Delicious pollen. The fruit flesh is 

 faintly yellow, fine grained. It is mild, moderately juicy, 

 not quite as sweet as Delicious but with rather more charac- 

 ter than Mcintosh, being intermediate between the two. with 

 a pleasing aroma. Franklin excels both parents in appear- 

 ance having a brilliant red overcolor, resembling Delicious, 

 with a golden yellow under-color, with very distinct bloom. 

 Fruits are medium to good size, oblong in shape. Franklin 

 is notable for fresh dessert cfuality which is best from late 

 October to early January, being definitely a fall and early 

 winter apple. Blooms about with Delicious. .Jonathan, Rome: 

 ripening a week earlier than Delicious and a little later than 

 Jonathan. It is a heavy annual bearer where properly polli- 

 nated, fruiting all over the tree as in ]McIntosh. Should 

 thrive wherever delicious Jonathan and Mcintosh can be 

 grown. 



Can supply in one year trees only for spring 1954. Also 

 on Mailing No. 7 semi-dwarf stock. See Relative Ripening 

 time on page 19. 



NOTICE 



WE DID NOT HAVE ANY 



17 YEAR LOCUST 



at Bountiful Ridge duruig summer 1953, therefore 

 no locust damage to our growing nursery stock. 



We have never seen any 17 year locust in the 

 past 50 years at our present location. Just another 

 reason why you can depend on Bountiful Ridge 

 grown Trees. 



A Glorified Bud Selection of the Famous Wmesap 

 Comes to The Planter With the Same Beautiful Color 

 — Same Quality — Same Keeping Ability. 



••Seek and ye shall find" is the motto at Bountiful Ridge 

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

 growers from many sections have clamored for a LARGE 

 WINESAP APPLE. Many types have come to our obser- 

 vation and when traced down were found w^anting until 

 'Slv. Harry ^y. Miller. President of The Consolidated Orchard 

 i\>.. 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. Miller has been able to pack most of the apples in the 

 2=\" up size, the balance going into the 2^>" grade. The 

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

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

 better known as the "Pioneer Orchardists of West Virginia" 

 and are producing more apples than any 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 should originate in their orchard.

^WRIXPARENT 



L. S. PLANT PATENT NO. 388 



America's Earliest Apple — Ripening 2 Weeks Before 



Yellow Transparent ! 



Lead the Season with Wrixparent, Lodi, Starr. 



BRIEF FACTS ABOUT THE WRIXPARENT. 



1. EARLINESS— Ripens 10 to 15 days before Yellow 

 Transparent. 



2. ANNUAL BEARER — Normal to heavy crops each year. 

 8. LARGE SIZE — Apples under normal conditions pack 



out 214" and 2^^" size and up. 



4. QUALITY — Unexcelled as an earlj^ cooking apple. 



5. SHIPPING ABILITY — Does not show bruises, will car- 

 ry to distant markets, and will keep for weeks. 



t). TREE IS SEMI-SPREADING IN GROWTH HABITS, 

 BLIGHT RESISTANT, COMES INTO BEARING EARLY. 



Found as a chance seedling in the Yellow Transparent or- 

 chard of Mr. Wrixham Mcllvan near Magnolia, Delaware, 

 al)out 1920. 



Mr. Mcllvain after se-^ eral years' observation, determined 

 the variety to be superior in every way to the Transparent. 

 2nd generation orchards have produced heavy crops. A third 

 generation orchard was planted in 1935 and began bearing 

 at 4 years of age. The tree is more spreading than Trans- 

 parent and hardy in wood, not being subject to blight and 

 other fungus diseases. The fruit averages large in size, be- 

 ing a little more flat in shape than Transparent and packing 

 out commercial sizes of 2%" and 2i^" at picking time. The 

 Wrixparent ripens from 10 to 15 days before Yellow Trans- 

 parent and ripens its fruit evenly so that the entire crop 

 may be harvested in two pickings if desired. It is an at- 

 tractive light green color without markings: its flesh is 

 white crisp, sprightly, very fine in texture and does not 

 bruise readily. Sub-acid iii flavor and unsurpassed as a 

 cooking apple. 



RUBY 



A NEW PROMISING LATE KEEPING APPLE. 



From Ohio Experimental Station. 



A recent introduction of the Ohio Experimental Station 

 resulting from a cross between Gallia Beauty and Starking. 

 Ruby, as its name implies, has great eye appeal because of 

 its strikingly brilliant over-all carmine red resembling some- 

 what a wellcolored Gallia Beauty. The tree resembles Rome 

 in growth, bears early and tends to produce annually, blooms 

 about with Rome or Gallia and just after Delicious. Pick- 

 ing date is about with Rome or may be picked just before 

 Stayman. As a dessert apple the flavor is good, surpassing 

 that of Rome Beauty. It is somewhat juicy, neither sharp 

 nor sweet but pleasingly mild : cooking does not detract from 

 the flavor but seems to improve it : whether baked or stewed 

 the flesh has tendency to hold its shape well. Fruits hold 

 well in storage into April and May being less susceptible to 

 scald than Rome Beauty. Can be recommended for planting 

 anywhere Rome and Delicious succeed. Can supply in one 

 year trees only for spring 1954.
