WINESAP. 



Winter. In 

 the great 



Apple regions of Maryland, Vir 

 ginia. West Virginia and the Appa 

 lachian section the Winesap is the 

 Apple that should be planted freely. 

 It can be grown in southern Penn- 

 sylvania, but, as a general rule, we recommend 

 Stayman' s 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 exceptional spread of root; bears 

 early, freely and regularly.

 grained, rich, subacid. The name suggests the 

 flavor. Tree thrives nearly everywhere. Should be

 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
