HARRISONS' NURSERIES 



APPLES, continued 



WINESAP. Winter. In the great Apple regions of Maryland, Virginia, West 

 Virginia and the Appalachian section the Winesap is the Apple that should 

 be planted freely. It can be grown in southern Pennsylvania, but, as a general 

 rule, we recommend Stayman Winesap for planting north of Maryland 

 Winesap is of medium size, oblong, smooth; fine, dark red skin; the fiesh is 

 tinted yellow, tender, crisp and juicy. The fruit is firm and keeps well, 

 making it a splendid commercial sort. When good specimens are packed in 

 an attractive way — in boxes — Winesap brings the highest prices of almost 

 any Apple. The trees are strong growers, with an exceptional spread of 

 roots; bears early, freely and regularly. 



Winter Banana. Fall. Yellow. Fruit is large or even extra-large, rich yellow 

 in color, firm and desirable for shipping. Tree grows almost anywhere. 



Winter Paradise (Paradise Winter Sweet). Winter. Color dull green, with 

 brownish red flush. Tree vigorous grower. 



WOLF RIVER. Sum.mer. An exceedingly large and handsome Apple, which 

 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 conspicuous splashes and broad stripes of bright carmine; flesh is 

 slightly tinged with yellow, firm, tender, juicy, aromatic and of good quality. 

 It keeps remarkably well in ordinary storage, and with cold storage its season 

 is practically unlimited. Bears profuse crops every other year, sometimes 

 annually. 



Yellow Bellflower. Winter. A handsome, large Apple, with crisp, tender, 



juicy flesh. 

 Yellow Newtown. Winter. Yellow. 



YELLOW TRANSPARENT. Summer. We consider this one of the best 

 •commercial Apples, and one of the few kinds that grow and bear as well 

 North as South. Will stand Canadian winters as well as Georgia summers. 

 By many this is considered the best of all extra-early white Apples, and 

 comes into market when the demand for summer Apples is extra strong; 

 ■consequently it always brings the best prices. For nearby markets, to which 

 it can be shipped in fancy baskets or boxes, it is one of the most valuable 

 Apples in our list. The fruit is medium to large, cream and yellow; tender, 

 juicy, of fine flavor, subacid, fragrant. Trees very 5^oung bearers and yield 

 big crops. Dwarf growers; prefer thin soil, such as hillsides and upland. 



YORK IMPERIAL. Winter. This is one of the most important commercial 

 Apples grown. York Imperial trees have not missed a crop in the West 

 Virginia section for many years. Does well everywhere; eastern, central and 

 western growers find it adapted to their conditions. Often exported and sold 

 for fancy prices. It has the advantage of mellowing in time for use soon after 

 picking if not stored to prevent it. Medium sized, round, irregular, greenish 

 yellow overlaid with bright red stripes; flesh tender, firm, crisp, juicy. Tree 

 is a vigorous grower, strong and healthy, and an unusually heavy bearer. A 

 variety that should be in every orchard.
