Winesap 
Winter. Bright red skin. Flesh yellow. Medium to large 
Winesap is one of the best-known varieties in America. It has 
been planted almost everywhere, but seems to succeed best where 
the winters are moderately mild. From Southern Pennsylvania: 
or Maryland to Georgia it will be at its best. 
Some growers believe that other apples are more practical for 
orchard purposes, as they think that the taste, appearance and 
keeping qualities of Winesap can be surpassed by others. Yet 
they plant Winesap trees, and the reason is clear. 
WINESAP HAS THE REPUTATION 
It has been grown and cultivated for the last hundred years, if 
not more, and the name is familiar to everyone. The name has 
been so thoroughly stamped upon the minds of the public that the 
mere sound ‘‘Winesap” is sufficient to conjure up the tempting 
picture of a red, juicy apple, excellent in quality, with a taste 
that is a taste. It has so long been the standard of quality that 
it can be sold by the name alone. You can watch any housewife 
in front of a fruit-stand, and if the dealer says ‘‘Winesap” she’ll 
buy nothing else. In other words, they have been so well adver- 
tised by enthusiastic users that they are sold without effort. Nat- 
urally such an attitude on the part of the customer is reflected 
by the dealer, and for this reason the market is always good. 
WINESAP BEARS REGULARLY 
Winesap comes into bearing early, and bears well every year. 
It is quite hardy, but should not be planted too far north, nor 
should it be planted in a low, damp location. The tree is vigorous 
and spreading. It should be well pruned each year, for unless it is 
well cared for the fruit tends to become smaller as the tree ages. 
It is one of the best eating apples, possessing splendid taste, 
and makes a fine cooking apple. Will keep well in an ordinary 
cellar. You will have no trouble to market Winesap if you con- 
sider commercial plantings, and for the home it is almost ideal.
