APPLES, continued 



Stayman (Stayman's Winesap). Winter. Very I Tolman's Sweet. Winter. Bright yellow with a 

 — late keeper, but mellows for use in f*^"' ^'^+<^- fl«oK «,K;i-o 



the fall. Medium to large, attractive ; green and 



yellow, almost hidden by dark red stripes; flesh 



yellow, not in the least mealy; plenty of juice; 



quality the finest, ranking with Yellow Newtown 



and Grimes' Golden. Tree a quick and large 



grower, and seems to prefer dry soils and those 



not so rich and heavy. Preeminently the Apple 



to plant on dry hills where the soil is thin and water 



often decidedly lacking. Bears young, often 



producing a barrel to a tree when five years 



old. Bears every year, crops uniformly heavy. 



Stayman is now planted in nearly all new orchards 



in the East, to a large extent. You cannot find a 



better sort in the whole list, either for bearing 



habit, size of fruits, looks or quality. Except at 



the highest elevations, is almost always our most 



desirable Apple for east of the Mississippi. Do 



not hesitate to plant Stayman. (See page 19.) 



Summer Hagloe. Summer. Fruit uniformly large, 



handsomely striped; a good variety for eating 



fresh, and unexcelled for cooking. Tree is a good 



grower, begins to bear when small and produces 



freely. 

 Sutton Beauty. Fall. Bright red striped 



with carmine on yellow ground. 

 Sweet Bough. Summer. Pale yel~ 



low, with a faint blush. 



Williams Early Red. 



N 





Yellow Transparent Apples 



few dots; flesh white. 

 Wagener. Winter. A superior Apple of beautiful 



bright red, fine texture, high flavor and excellent 



quality. Tree bears early and is a reliable cropper. 

 Walbridge. Winter. Yellow, striped carmine; 



crisp, tender and juicy. 



\Vealthv. Winter. Medium size, round or with 



=— a point; almost solid red; flesh white 



or a little stained; tender, crisp, juicy, fine- 

 grained, aromatic and very good. Splendid keeper, 

 but best in December and January. Tree very 

 hardy and vigorous and bears regular and abun- 

 dant crops. "Wealthy belts" are in the higher 

 districts and mountains. Investigate your con- 

 ditions, and if Wealthy has been grown success- 

 fully in similar locations and soils, plant it by all 

 means. It is one of the most profitable market 

 Apples and always brings good prices, especially 

 late in the season, when its quality is of the best. 



Summer. Medium 



sized; dark red, 



sometimes yellow-splashed; flesh is crisp, tender, 



juicy and subacid. Ranks above all but one or 



two of this class. Fine in Delaware and the 



South. Use it — ^it is a money-maker 



where you can ship to markets in 



hampers without delay. It is ready 



for market just about the time 



people are growing hungry 



for new Apples, and it brings 



top prices. (See page 18.) 



Winesap. W^^^er. Fine 

 keeper; me- 

 dium size, oblong, smooth, 

 and a fine dark red; flesh 

 yellow, crisp, tender, very 

 juicy, aromatic, firm and 

 good. Tree a strong grower, 

 root - growth exceptionally 

 strong; it comes into bearing 

 gyjHjBM|K' early and is remarkable for its 



B^HHHK regular and abundant crops. 



^^^^^^^L.^^ ^ One of the very best sorts for 



H^^^HH^^^^ lower elevations anywhere south 

 mj^^Km^^^ of Pennsylvania, from tidewater to 

 ^HBB^^^ 1,000 feet in Maryland, and to corres- 

 ponding elevations south of Maryland. One of the 

 / sorts you must not overlook for these sections. When 

 ^ grown properly and packed in an attractive manner, 

 it brings the highest prices in the fancy market, where 

 its quality causes it to be eagerly bought up. (See page 16.) 



Winter Banana. Winter. Season from 

 — ^-^.^— ^^^.^^— when picked until mid- 

 dle of January. "Extra-fancy" is the only term 

 which can be used to describe it in looks and 

 quality. Large or extra large; golden yel- 

 low; firm, fine-grained, rich, subacid. The 

 name suggests the flavor. Tree thrives 

 nearly everywhere. Should be packed 

 in all the best ways, and sold soon 

 after picking. Bruises speedily develop 

 rot; requires careful storage. 



Wolf River, winter. An exceed- 



I n g 1 y large and 



handsome Apple, resembling Alexander 



somewhat, but is better in every way 



than that old standard variety. Wolf 



River has supplanted Alexander in many 



of the large commercial orchards in the 



West. Skin is bright yellow, mottled and 



blushed with deep red and marked with
