STAYMAN WINESAP 



Winter. Dark red skin, tinged with yellow. 

 Flesh yellow. Medium to large. 



It really doesn't seem necessary to describe this variety, 

 as the Winesap is known favorably wherever apples are 

 sold. You can find people in every locality who will buy 

 nothing- else. Stayman Winesap is larger than the origi- 

 nal Winesap and somewhat later. It is also more prolific. 



One of the most desirable points about this tree is that 

 it does not require rich soil ; in fact, it seems to do best 

 on land that is dry and hard. Many apples will do well 

 on ordinarily good soil, but there are only a few varie- 

 ties of winter apples which show 



A REAL PREFERENCE FOR POOR SOIL 



If you have a patch of land which does not produce 

 according to your expectations, and if your land suffers 

 from dry spells which do not pennit grain and vegetables 

 to mature, try an acre of Stayman Winesaps. They will 

 convince you that your land has a decided value — but it 

 must be planted to the right crop. 



EASTERN GROWERS PLANT IT LARGELY 

 in the new orchards, and they are men who know what 

 tree value is. They realize that this apple will produce 

 as good results as many others, and do it on iX)orer 

 ground. Naturally, not so much capital is required for 

 the investment. 



With the old Winesap, the fruit tends to decrease in 

 size as the tree ages ; with the Stayman it is generally 

 as large and attractive as ever. It is a strong grower.
