WEALTHY A most dependable and 
(Fall) widely planted fall apple; 
bright red striped; me- 
dium to large size; white crisp flesh 
tinged with red; very good quality. 
Tree is a free grower, very hardy; bears 
fourth or fifth year. Adapted to many 
soils and climates, but especially suit- 
able for Northern planting where ex- 
treme hardiness is required. Good 
shipper; holds up well in storage; es- 
pecially recommended for home use and 
commercial planting. 
"Wyoming is the happy home of the 
Wealthy. It flourishes in every county 
of the state." — Aven Nelson, Secre- 
tary Wyoming State Historical Society. 
"The Delicious apple leads on the 
market here. But this is the apple for 
everybody here — Wealthy. I am re- 
serving a large acreage for it. It has not 
quite the beauty and quality and selling 
proclivities of Delicious, but, oh, my! 
it bears — never fails — one crop right 
after another here. Wealthy, Delicious, 
and Rome Beauty make the best team 
here for fancy apples." — C. A. Cummins, 
Montana. 
WILSON RED A deep, solid crimson, 
(Midsummer) like a Red June; large; 
firm white flesh; good 
quality. Tree is hardy, vigorous, very 
productive, bears young. Most beau- 
tiful of its season; good shipper. 
WINESAP Splendid bright red, in- 
(Winter) distinctly striped with dark 
purplish-red; standard ap- 
ple in the United States from Virginia to 
California. Flesh is tinged with yellow; 
very firm, juicy, very good quality. 
Medium size; a favorite with everyone. 
Tree is a vigorous, spreading open 
grower. Hardy, adapted to planting 
in every part of the country, except in 
the extreme Northern states. Will 
succeed on many different kinds of soils, 
preferring a deep loam. It is a heavy, 
regular bearer. Produces the first crop 
about the fifth year. As the tree gets 
older it has a tendency to produce 
undersize fruit, but this can be over- 
come by proper pruning and culture. 
WINTER BANANA Very showy, 
(Winter) bright yellow, 
with a pinkish- 
red cheek; noted for its brilliant, trans- 
parent, waxen appearance; medium size; 
good quality, with a rich, spicy flavor. 
Tree is a good average grower, adapted 
to many conditions; flat, spreading top; 
hardy, except in extreme North; regular 
cropper; bears about the fifth year. 
YELLOW NEWTOWN Medium t o 
(Albemarle Pippin) large; a beau- 
(Early Summer) tiful yellow; 
flesh very firm, 
meaty, brittle, juicy; highest quality; 
tree is a good grower, but must have 
fertile soil and good air drainage. 
Hardy; bears the fifth year. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT Extreme- 
(Early Simimer) ly hardy; 
a beau- 
tiful clear yellow, with smooth, waxen, 
brilliant skin, which gives it a trans- 
parent appearance. Fine-grained white 
flesh, sprightly sub-acid, pleasant. Un- 
excelled for pies, tarts and apple sauce. 
Medium size. Tree is a moderately 
vigorous, straight, upright, and compact 
grower; usually bears third to fourth 
year. A reliable cropper. Fruit ripens 
over a period of three weeks and re- 
quires several pickings. Profitable for 
near-by markets. Excellent for home 
planting. 
It is adapted to all apple soils and 
climates. One of the best apples for the 
South, and is very extensively planted 
in the North because of its unusual 
hardiness. It will sometimes blight like 
the pear if planted on soil that is too 
rich and the growth forced by too much 
fertilization. Succeeds on thin soils. 
YORK IMPERUL Bright pinkish-red, 
(Winter) striped with dark 
red: firm, crisp, 
meaty flesh, brittle, a little coarse, but 
juicy and fair quality; large, chunky, 
generally lopsided; however, it shows up 
well, and, because the tree is a very 
strong, vigorous grower and enormously 
productive, it is a profitable apple, 
widely planted in the Virginias and 
Central West. A very regular bearer, 
beginning about the seventh yecir; 
seldom fails. A leading export apple. 
CRABAPPLES 
/"'RABAPPLES should be planted for beauty of tree and fruit, as windbreaks, and for the value

ing, very hardy. Bears very young. Na- 
turally a dwarfish grower.
