We advise every grower to plant Stayman Winesap 



STAYMAN WINESAP 



Winter. Dark red skin. Flesh 

 yellow. Medium to large. 



It really doesn't seem neces- 

 sary to describe this variety, 

 as the Winesap is known fa- 

 vorably wherever apples are 

 sold. You can find people in 

 every locality who will buy 

 nothing else. Stayman Wine- 

 sap is larger than the original 

 Winesap and somewhat later. 

 It is also more prolific. 



One of the most desirable 

 points about this tree is that 

 it does not require rich soil; 

 in fact, it seems to do best on 

 land that is dry and hard. 

 Many apples will do well on 

 ordinarily good soil, but there 

 are only a few varieties of 

 winter apples which show

dry spells which do not permit

 of Stayman Winesaps. They will convince 

 you that your land has a decided value — 

 but it must be planted to the right crop. 



Eastern Growers Plant It Largely 



in the new orchards, and they are men who 

 know what tree value is. They realize that 

 this apple will produce as good results as 

 many others, and do it on poorer ground. 

 Naturally, not so much capital is required 

 for the investment. 



With the old Winesap, the fruit tends to 

 decrease in size as the tree ages; with the 

 Stayman it is generally as large and attrac- 

 tive as ever. It is a strong grower, comes 

 into bearing early, and is reasonably certain 

 to produce good crops every year. 



Stayman Winesap Is Always 

 Dependable 



Many varieties of apple trees have a good 

 year and an "off year"; that is, they will give 



a large crop one year and next season pro- 

 duce very little. While conduct of this sort 

 cannot always be blamed upon the variety, 

 since climate, temperature and other causes 

 enter into the question, yet Stayman Wine- 

 sap seems to ripen a more uniform crop than 

 many of the others, and letters from our cus- 

 tomers inform us that the regularity of crop 

 is remarkable. This is naturally a valuable 

 qualification, and, in part, accounts for the 

 choice of many Eastern orchardists. The 

 taste and appearance tell the rest of the 

 story. For a pollenizer plant Grimes Golden. 



Harrisons' Strain Is Best 



We have in our own commercial orchards 

 several thousand trees of Stayman Winesap 

 and we have selected for our parent trees the 

 finest, deepest colored, being annual bear- 

 ing trees. We feel confident that our select 

 strain is far superior to several new strains 

 that are being offered by some nurserymen. 

 Play safe — plant Harrisons' time-tried and 

 proven strain of Stayman Winesap. 



OTHER LATE VARIETIES 



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 commercial orchard because the 

 tree is hardy, thrifty, healthy, one of the strong- 



est growers, a regular bearer; very productive. 

 Desirable trees to top work other sorts on. 

 Turley. A seedling of the Winesap which it some- 

 what resembles. Fruit rounded conical in shape, 

 much larger than the Winesap, smoother skinned 

 and deeper and richer in color; juicy and rich 

 flavor. Tree very hardy and comes into bearing 

 early.
