Winesap — We can hardly find words sufficiently 

 strong to express the high opinion we have of this 

 fruit, possessing as it does a combination of so many 

 excellent qualities. For cider it has but few equals; 

 for table it stands among the best ; for keeping it is 

 justly esteemed, and forbearing it scarcely has a rival. 

 Considering all this we must earnestly recommend 

 it to the consideration of all orchardists. Fruit me- 

 dium size, rather oblong, skin smooth of a fine dark 

 red, wi;.h a few streaks and a little yellow ground ap- 

 pearing on the shady side; flesh yellow, firm, crisp,
