SPECIAL RETAIL PRICE-LIST 



APPLES, continued 



WEALTHY. Fall. 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. 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. Tree very hardy and 

 N-igorous. and bears regular and abundant crops. "Wealthy belts" are in the 

 higher districts and mountains. If Wealthy has been grown successfully in 

 locations and soils similar to yours, plant it by all means. 



\3^If I f A J^Q (Williams Early Red). Summer. Large size; dark red, 



^ sometimes yellow-splashed; flesh crisp, tender, juicy and 



subacid. Ready for market when people are growing hungry- for new 

 Apples. Especially popular in Xew England, and in the Boston markets it 

 brings a good price. It is worthy of planting in every Apple-growing sec- 

 tion. Trees begin to bear when quite young. See front cover for illustration 

 of this splendid Apple in color. 



WINESAP. Winter. In the great Apple regions of Man,-Iand, Virginia, West 

 \'irginia 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 Stay man Winesap for planting north of Maryland. 

 Winesap is of medium size, oblong, smooth; fine, dark red skin; the flesh 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 or small baskets — Winesap brings the highest 

 prices of almost any Apple. The trees are strong growers, with an excep- 

 tional spread of roots; bears early, freely and regularly. 



Winter Banana. Fall. VeUow. 



Winter Paradise (Paradise Winter Sweet). Winter. Green. 



WOLF RIVER. Summer. 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 %\-ith 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. Vellow. 



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. It bruises readily and must be handled with extra care. 

 The fruit is medium to large, cream and yellow; tender, juicy, of fine flavor, 

 subacid, fragrant. Trees ver\' young 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 

 \'irginia 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.
