WINESAP — Sometimes called Old Winesap and Virginia 

 Winesap ; 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 vari- 

 ety, keeping until July. A strong grower; comes into bear- 

 ing early and is remarkable for ks regular and abundant 

 crops. Grimes should be planted with Winesap for proper 

 pollinization. Winesap has the reputation, being a leader 

 for many years; the name is familiar to everyone. Best box 

 apple grown, which has made it famous in Oregon and 

 Washington; also a wonderful bushel and barrel apple, be- 

 ing extensively grown in Virginia for export and domestic 

 trade. Supply of Winesap is always limited, with heavy de- 

 mand from the fancy markets, causing Winesap to be one of 

 the highest average priced apples commercially grown. 



WEALTHY — Fall. Medium to large size, round; almost solid 

 red; flesh white or a little stained; tender, crisp, juicy, fine 

 grained, aromatic and very good flavor. Relative good 

 keeper. One of the most profitable commercial apples. 

 Tree is very hardy, withstanding unusually cold climates, 

 vigorous, fruits at early age, bears regular and abundant 

 crops. Tree somewhat dwarf, making a fine filler. 



Yellow Newton or Albemarle Pippin — Winter. 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 sec- 

 tion around Crozet, Va., and sections of Ore. and Wash. 

 Wonderful box apple, and always brings highest prices. 



YORK IMPERIAL — Winter. 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 vari- 

 eties may fail to set fruit and suffer from off years, but York 

 Imperial, with proper cultural methods, will bear consist- 

 ently from year to year. York Imperial is the most popular 

 winter variety for cooking; also good for eating; has a na- 

 tional 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 pos- 

 sibly the largest and best selling variety packed in barrels 

 for the export trade, especially European and South Amer- 

 ican markets. Its long keeping, long distance shipping qual- 

 ities, 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.
