Winesap — We can hardly find words sufficiently strong to express the high 

 opinion we have of this fruit, possessing as it does, a combimation of so many 

 excellent qualities For cider it has b^t few equals: for table it stands among 

 the best; for keeping it is justly esteemed, and for bearing it scarcely has a 

 rival Considering all this we must earnestly recommend it to the considera 

 tion of all orchardists Fruit medium siz , rather oblong, skin smooth of a 

 fine dark red, with a few streaks and a little yellow ground appearing on the 

 shady side; flesh yellow, tirm, crisp, with a rich, high flavor. December to 

 April.

 count of its flavor and good shipping qualities. Fruit is large, roundish nar-

 near the tide water section. October to February. ;
