man's Winesap is now being planted in nearh* all new 

 orchards in the East, to a large extent. 



Strawberry (Chenango). Oct. to Jan. Large, 

 oblong, j-ellow and pink. Fine flavor, but it bruises 

 easily. Sells very well when delivered to market with- 

 out damage at once after picking. Fine for home use. 



Sweet Bough. Late summer. Large, greenish, crisp. 



Talman's Sweet. One of the best keeping Sweet 

 Apples. Will stay good till ]\Iarch. Medium to large, 

 yellow, firm, flavored like a Falla water, but sweeter; 

 fine for cooking; hard^-; bears earlj-; sure cropper. 



Virginia Beauty. Medium to large, round, green- 

 ish, with red stripes; juic^^ sweet but poor keeper. 



Walbridge. Very hardj-; good keeper, popular North 

 where winters often ; show 40 degrees below zero. 

 Medium-sized, red striped; juicj' and subacid. 



*Wealthy. Splendid keeper, but best in December 

 and January. Medium size, round, or with a point, 

 almost solid red; flesh white or a little stained; tender 

 and very good. A great profit sort ; very hardy. ' 'Wealthy 

 belts" are in the higher districts and mountains. In- 

 vestigate your conditions, and if Wealthy has been 

 grown successfully- in similar locations and soils, plant 

 it by all means. 



*Winter Banana. Season from when picked until 

 middle January-. "Extra fancy" is the only term which 

 can be used to describe it in looks and quality. Large 

 or extra large, golden ^-ellow shaded red, with a rough 

 surface, firm, fine-grained, rich, subacid. The name 

 suggests the flavor. Tree thrives nearly everywhere 

 Should be packed in the best way, and sold soon after 

 picking. Bruises speedily develop rot. Requires careful 

 storage. 



Winter Sweet Paradise. Large, ^-ellow, juicy. 



Wolf River. Possibly the largest of all Apples. 

 Good keeper; j-ellow, overlaid with red; subacid; quality 

 poor. Grown chiefly for show. An orchardist can 

 use the Apples from one or two trees to advertise. 



*Winesap. Fine keeper. Medium size, oblong, 

 smooth and a fine dark red; flesh yellow, firm and good. 

 Desirable in the mountains of Virginia. Tree a strong 

 grower, root growth exceptionally strong; regular bearer. 



Wagner. Medium to large, bright red; looks like a 

 Spy, same shape; quality for eating fresh or for cooking 

 good; flavor very rich. Another "special condition" 

 Apple which should be planted only when you are sure 

 it will thrive. Bears young and abundantly, Splendid 

 filler. Succeeds pretty generalh- over the higher Appa- 

 lachian country. 



WiUiams Early Red. Summer. Medium-sized, 

 dark red (sometimes yellow splashed). Subacid. Ranks 

 above all but one or two of this class. 



*Yellow Transparent. Late summer. Medium- 

 sized, cream and yellow, tender, juicy, of fine flavor; 

 subacid; fragrant. Trees very young bearers and yield 

 big crops every year. Hardy, dwarf growers, prefer 

 thin soil, such as hillsides and upland. On the second 

 cover page (inside front cover) Yellow Transparent 

 is shown in natural color. We consider it a splendid 

 Apple and a promising "comer" commercially. 



^Yellow Belleflower. \'ery large, flat, pale yellow. 



*York Imperial. A good keeper which has the advan- 

 tage of mellowing in time for use soon after picking 

 time if not stored to prevent it. Can be kept till the new 

 crop comes. Medium-sized, round, a little irregular, 

 greenish yellow, overlaid with bright red stripes; crisp 

 and juicy. Much better than a Ben Davis, but does 

 not rank quite as high as Grimes' Golden. Tree an un- 

 usually heavy bearer. Often yields a crop at the seventh 

 year. York Imperial trees have not missed a crop in the 

 West \'irginia section for many years. Does well every- 

 where — Eastern, Central and Western growers find it 

 equally adapted to their conditions. Often exported 

 and sold for prices approaching those of Hood River 

 Newtowns and Spitzenburgs, or Bitter-Root Mcintosh. 

 We are known as York Imperial people. 



Yellow Newtown. Sometimes called Newtown 

 Pippin, or Albemarle Pippin. Large, round or a little 

 lopsided, ribbed and somewhat irregular. Tree a slow 

 growerand light bearer in poor soils but rich soil and 

 care will do wonders with it in almost any section of 

 the East or West, North of Tennessee. A world beater. 



CRAB APPLES 



Price of Crab Apples same as other Apples 



Martha. So handsome and vigorous that it is more 

 of an ornamental than a fruit tree. Fruit beautiful 

 bright yellow, shaded with red; mild tart flavor. 



Whitney. Tree dwarfish, vigorous and handsome. 

 Fruit green, striped and splashed with red, firm, juicy. 



Hyslop. Good keeping Crab Apple of large size.
