MARKETING BARRELED APPLES 67 
STAYMAN WINESAP 
Stayman Winesap, younger relative of the old Winesap, is entering 
the front rank of market varieties. Dessert quality is better than 
with many other utility kinds. It keeps late, although with con- 
siderable waste in storage because of scald, watercore, and decay. 
Color is not equal to that of the Winesap and it does not keep in 
storage so well as that variety. Growers claim it can be raised at 
less cost than the Winesap and its popularity is increasing in pro- 
ducing sections as well as in the markets. 
TOLMAN SWEET 
One of the best selling sweet varieties is the Tolman Sweet, but 
demand is light for the whole class of sweet apples. 
TWENTY OUNCE 
The Twenty Ounce is one of the standard, short-season, fall and 
early winter kinds. Color is green or yellowish with red stripes, 
but color and size are variable. Prices average well for its class and 
Twenty Ounce is a good keeper and shipper for its season. It is 
erown for market chiefly in New York and Michigan. 
WEALTHY 
One of the leading fall kinds, medium in size and of high color, 
is the Wealthy. Demand is chiefly for cooking, as the flavor is ordi- 
nary. The main market season is from October to December. The 
pe averages about the same as for the Oldenburg and generally 
ower than for the Baldwin. 
1 WILLOWTWIG 
Willowtwig is one of the long-keeping, low-quality apples that have 
been losing importance with the increase of cold storage. It is 
raised in the Middle West and in that region often brings good prices 
late in the season. 
WINTER BANANA 
Although best known in the western box pack, the Winter Banana 
has been shipped in baskets and barrels from Michigan, New York, 
Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Color and finish of eastern 
stock are highly variable. At its best this apple is very attractive 
with its glossy finish and bright yellow and pink coloring. - In flavor 
and keeping quality it is ordmary. 
WINESAP 
The favorite late-keeping Winesap apple is close to the leadership 
among commercial varieties on account of its great prominence in 
the rapidly growing box-apple section as well as in the Missouri 
Valley and the southeastern apple States. It lacks highest dessert 
or cooking uality but is very good in these respects and is especially 
attractive in the late season because of the rich, dark-red coloring. 
Prices top the general market after February. It is the only kind 
that ranks near the head in volume of shipments of boxed apples 
as well as in the barreled trade. As grown in some eastern sections, 
it runs irregularly and inclines to small size.
