Stajrman Winesap. 



familiar to everyone. Best box apple grown, which has made 

 it fp.mous in Oregon and Washington; also a wonderful bushel 

 and barrel apple, being extensively grown in Virginia for export 

 and domestic trade. Supply of Winesap is always limited, 

 with heavy demand from the fancy markets, causing Winesap 

 to be one of the highest average prices apples commercially 

 grown. 

 Yellow Newtown or Albemarle Pippin. Large, round, or 

 a little lop-sided, ribbed and somewhat irregular, long keeper. 

 Tree a slow grower and light bearer in poor soils, but right soil 

 and care bring a world-beater when it will thrive, but no good 

 at all in soils and under conditions not adapted to its exacting 

 requirements. Famous in section around Crozet, Va., and 

 sections of Oregon and Washington. Wonderful box apple, 

 and always brings highest prices. 



YORK IMPERIAL. Medium to large size, round, irregular, 

 greenish yellow overlaid with bright red; flesh tender, firm, 

 crisp, and high flavor; wonderful keeper; can be kept in cold 

 storage until June. Tree is a vigorous grower; strong and 

 healthy; an unusually heavy bearer. Other varieties may fail 

 to set fruit and suffer from off years, but York Imperial, with 

 proper cultural methods, will bear consistently from year to 

 year. York Imperial is the most popular winter variety for 

 cooking; also good for eating; has a national reputation as a 

 strong leader, and favorable demand with average good prices. 

 York Imperial is a wonderful apple for packing in bushels for 

 the domestic trade; is possibly the largest and best selling 

 variety packed in barrels for the export trade, especially Euro- 

 pean and South American markets. Its long keeping, long 

 distance shipping qualities, attractive color, and being a heavy 

 cropper established York Imperial the leading commercial 

 apple for Southern Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia 

 and Virginia, and generally considered as the best average 

 money maker. 



Yellow Bellflower. Large, yellow, good flavor. 



Roxbury Russet. Large, firm, moderately tender, juicy, sub-

 russet apple, tree hardy, strong grower, and a prolific bearer. 



RHODE ISLAND GREENING. Large, greenish yellow, flesh 

 crisp, juicy, quite acid, firm, fine grained, tender, and of very 

 fine flavor and quality. This large and superior Northern winter 

 apple is famous, and is highly prized for eating and cooking; 

 also valuable commercial variety, an excellent keeper, and a 

 popular barrel apple; always brings good prcies. Generally 

 planted in New England, New York, Michigan and Canada, 

 but not advisable to plant south of the Mason-Dixon line. 



STARK. Long keeper and a reliable commercial sort. Fruit 

 large, round, greenish yellow, with red stripes; flesh yellow, 

 crisp and mildly acid; valuable as a keeper. Excellent baking 

 apple, and always sought by the larger baking concerns and 

 hotels; brings premium prices. A good variety for the com- 

 mercial orchard because the tree is hardy, thrifty, healthy, 

 one of the strongest growers, a regular bearer; very productive. 

 Desirable trees to top work other sorts on. 



STAYMAN WINESAP (Stayman). Medium large to large; 

 green and yellow, almost hidden by deep, dark red stripes; 

 flesh yellow, not in the least mealy; plenty of juice; firm, tender 

 rich, sub-acid, aromatic, quality the best and finest. Splendid 

 late keeper, but mellows for use in the fall. Tree a quick and 

 large grower; bears young, often producing a barrel to a tree 

 when five years old. Necessary to plant Grimes Golden along 

 with Stayman for proper cross-poUenization; bears every year; 

 crops uniformly heavy. Stayman is now planted in nearly all 

 the new orchards in the East, to a large extent. One of the 

 most popular apples grown, and demand far exceeds the supply, 

 always bringing highest prices on the large markets; also popular 

 roadside market variety.

 everywhere. Should be packed in bushels or boxes and sold

 sap; medium size, oblong, smooth, and a fine dark red — one of 

 the best red colored apples grown; flesh yellow, crisp, tender, 

 very juicy, aromatic, firm and excellent flavor. Very long 

 keeper and considered the best cold storage variety, keeping until 

 July. A strong grower; comes into bearing early and is re- 

 markable for its regular and abundant crops. Grimes should 

 be planted with Winesap for proper pollenization. Winesap 

 has the reputation, being a leader for many years; the name is 



Crab Apples 



yellow striped with red; fine 



Crab apples form a valuable crop, both in home and com- 

 mercial orchards, as they are much desired for preserves and
