Stayman Winesap 



THE PREMIER APPLE FOR EASTERN ORCHARDS 



Stayman is 

 one of the 

 best Apples 

 for 

 orchards 

 east of the 

 Mississippi 



This superb winter Apple succeeds wonderfully in the Mid- 

 dle Atlantic states. It is a splendid variety, some growers say 

 the best there is for this section. The trees come into bearing 

 in five years or sooner, and, with good care, give four to ten 

 or more bushels of fruit per tree after the eighth year. The 

 fruit is medium to large, attractive green and yellow, almost 

 hidden by dark red stripes; flesh yellow, not in the least mealy; 

 plenty of juice; quality the finest, ranking with Yellow Newtown 

 and Grimes. Tree a quick and large grower, and seems to 

 prefer dry soils and those not so rich and heavy. Preeminently the Apple to 

 plant on drv hills where the soil is thin and water often decidedly lacking. 

 This splendid Apple is now planted in nearly all new orchards in the East to a 

 large extent. You cannot find a better sort in the whole list, either for bearing 

 habit, size of fruit, looks or quality. Except at the highest elevations, this 

 splendid variety is almost alwavs our most desirable Apple for all sections east 

 of the Mississippi. See illustration in color on the third cover.
