Harrisons’ Nurseries, Berlin, Md. U. S. A. 
— YORK IMPERIAL 
Winter. Greenish yellow, overlaid with red stripes. 
Flesh juicy, slightly coarse. Medium size. 
York Imperial has been planted from the East to the 
West, and, so far as we have heard, has never failed to 
give satisfaction. 
The shape is chunky and somewhat irregular, which 
makes it a little difficult to pack, and renders it unsuit- 
able for paring machines, but you’ll find many people— 
lots of them orchardists—planting the York Imperial year 
after year. There are good reasons for this. First of all, 
YORK IMPERIAL KEEPS WELL 
and if properly stored will be in good condition late next 
spring; can be laid away in the ordinary cellar, and, if 
it is handled right, will be in good shape until late May. 
Unlike many winter apples, York Imperial can be ripened 
shortly after picking if not stored to prevent it. 
The York Imperial is largely used for export, and has 
come into fine favor with foreign trade. Shipments 
abroad are snapped up at good prices. Very productive.
