APPLES AND CRABAPPLES 
WEALTHY A most dependable and widely planted fall 
(Fall) apple; briniit. red striped; medium to large 
size; white crisp flesh tinged with red; very 
good quality. Tree is a free grower, very hardy; bears fourth 
to fifth year. Adapted to many soils and cliniates, but es- 
pecially suitable for Northern planting where extreme hardi- 
ness is required. Good shipper; holds up well in storage; 
especially recommended for home use and commercial 
planting.

the happy home 
of the Wealthy.

"The Deli- 
cious apple 
leads on the 
market here. 
But this is the 
apple for every- 
body here — 
Wealthy. I am 
reserving a large 
acreage for it. 
It has not quite 
the beauty and 
quality and sell- 
ing proclivities „ , , „ . , 
of Delicious, but Wealthy-Young trees bear heavy crops. 
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, like a Red June; 
(Midsummer) large; firm white flesh ; good quality. Tree 
is hardy, vigorous, veiy productive, bears 
young. Most beautiful of its season; good shipper.

States from Virginia to Calilornia. Flesh is 
tinged with yellow; ■v ery firm, juicy, veiy good quality. Me- 
dium size; a favorite with o\ovyone. Irce 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 
overcome by proper pruning and culture. 
WINTER BANANA Verj' showy, bright yellow, with a 
(Winter) pinkish-red cheek; noted for its bril- 
liant, transparent, 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 crop- 
lier; bears about the fifth year. 
YELLOW NEWTOWN Medium to large; a beautiful yel- 
(Albemarle Pippin) low; flesh very firm, meaty, brittle, 
(Early Summer) juicy ; highest quality; tree is a good 
grower, but must have fertile soil 
and good air drainage. Hardy; 
bears the fifth year. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT Extremely hardy; a beautiful 
(Early Summer) clear yellow, with smooth, 
waxen, brilliant skin, which 
gives it a transparent appearance. Fine-grained white flesh, 
sprightly sub-acid, pleasant. Untexcelled for pies, tarts, and' 
apple sauce. Medium size. Tree is a moderately \'igorous 
.struiglit, upright, and compact grower; usually bears tjiird 
to fourth year. A reliable cropper. Pmit ripens over a 
period of three weeks and requires several pickings. I rofita- 
bie for near-by n.arkets. Excellent for lion.e planting. 
It is adapted to all apple soils and climates. One of the 
best apples for the South, an/d is veiy extensively planted 
in the North because of its unusual hardiness. It will some- 
times 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 IMPERIAL Bright pinldsh-red, striped with dark 
(Winter) red; firm, crisp, meaty flesh, brittle, a 
little coarse, but juicv 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 
])lanted in the Virginias and Central \\ est. A very regular 
bearer, beginning about the seventh year; seldom fails. A 
leading export apple.
