BOUNTIFUL STRAIN 



IMPROVED WINESAP 



A Glorified Selection of the Famous Winesap Comes to 

 the Planter with the same Beautiful Color— Same Quality- 

 Same Keeping AbUity. 



"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 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. 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 bet- 

 ter 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. 



BLAXTAYMAN 



(Trade Mark Registered U. S. Patent Office) 



The Blaxtayman Surpasses Most Other Improved 

 Strains of The Stayman. 



Each Succeeding Year Brings Added Praise For The 

 Blaxtayman 



Its Fruiting Record Has Established The Blaxtayman 



Generally As One of Our Good Commercial 



Apples 



The BLAXTAYMAN was introduced to the Eastern Fruit 

 growers, spring of 1930. In the BLAXTAYMAN we have 

 every characteristic of the famous Stayman apple with the 

 exception that THE FRUIT COLORS A BEAUTIFUL SOLID 

 RED. The fruit is equally as large or larger than the regu- 

 lar Stavman. The trees are equally as thrifty as the regu- 

 lar Stayman. The apple has a SLIGHTLY TOUGHER SKIN 

 WHICH TENDS TO MAKE IT KEEP BETTER IN STOR- 

 AGE AND CARRY BETTER TO THE MARKETS. THE 

 APPLE HAS THE SAME SHAPE AS THE OLD STAYMAN. 

 THE FLESH FINER IN TEXTURE AND MORE MILD IN 

 FLAVOR WHEN GROWN AT LOWER ELEVATIONS 

 THAN THE OLD STAYMAN. Because of the Earlier Color- 

 ing and solid Red Color tin- gmwer can pick the fruit earlier 

 if desired. The BLAXTAYMAN will not get a dark and un- 

 attractive color if allowed to remain on the tree but instead 

 the apples become more brilliant and beautiful. Prices on

WRIXPARENT 



U. S. PLANT PATENT NO. 388 



1. EARLIXESS — Ripens 10 to 15 days before Yellow 

 Transparent. 



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



3. LARGE SIZE — Apples under normal conditions pack 

 out 214" and 2%" size and up. 



4. QUALITY — Unexcelled as an early cooking apple. 



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

 ry to distant markets, and will keep for weeks. 



0. 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 Mcllvain, near Magnolia. Delaware, 

 about 1920. 



Mr. Mcllvain after several 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 i 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 size 214" and 2%" 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 in fl 

 cooking apple.

That you are buying the best that money can buy. Pirture.1 here is our new spraying machine designed and bought es- 

 pecially for the meticulous care of our stock. At left, it is in the process of spraying our seedling stock, using the extended 

 boom for better coverage. The picture on the right shows it being used to apply a general spray to the growing one year 

 apple. See the fine coverage it gives. Also note the nice growth which the trees are making. Operations such as these 

 arc characteristic of the way Bountiful Ridge trees are grown.
