 producer. 



A Winner — 

 because it 

 comes into 

 the market 

 3 to 5 weeks

An Exalted York Imperial 



The Red Yorking is a "bud 

 sport", being a mutation of the 

 famous York Imperial. This "bud 

 sport" originated on a tree, grown 

 with other York Imperial trees, in 

 Harrisons' Nurseries and later sold 

 to Mr. W. H. Allison, near Ship- 

 pensburg, Penna., for use in plant- 

 ing a large orchard about twenty- 

 eight years ago. 



RED YORKING 



WITH TEN TESTED REASONS: 



1. York Imperial has long been the commercial leader and 

 money-maker in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and 

 Southern Pennsylvania, but with the discovery of a "bud 

 sport" strain from a Harrison-grown York imperial planted 

 near Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, the new "Red Yorking", 

 U. S. Plant Patent, No. 125, will eventually replace its 

 famous parent. 



2. Leading fruit growers were astounded and now proclaim that 

 Red Yorking is the ideal commercial apple for the Appal- 

 achian region. 



3. Red Yorking, by actual comparisons, has proven to be far 

 superior to any other so-called red strain of York Imperial. 



4. Color: Every Red Yorking apple being SOLID RED is a 

 tremendous advantage. 



5. Colors very early — being able to pick and ship Red Yorking 

 from three to five weeks earlier than York, due to its 100% 

 solid red color before the apple is fully ripe. 



6. Will bear bumper crops each year under modern up-to-date 

 orchard management, and Red Yorking is a more prolific 

 bearer than its parent. 



7. Red Yorking can be easily packed U. S. Fancy grade from 

 three to four weeks sooner in the foil than you can possibly 

 pack York Imperial to meet the requirements of U. S. No. 1 

 grade. 



8. All apples of Red Yorking will run U. S. Fancy grade and 

 U. S. No. 1 grade as to color requirements, whereas you 

 always have a varied percentage of York Imperial that will 

 foil to meet even U. S. No. 1 color specifications. 



9. For the export trade, Red Yorking can be sold and shipped 

 at premium high prices long before Yorks are ready to pick. 



10. For cold storage purposes. Red Yorking does not "scald," 

 even when held until June; whereas, York Imperial must be 

 sold during the winter to avoid "scald" and other cold stor- 

 age troubles.
