Winesap Apple 
Apples 
In every orchard, except in the Lower South, Apples 
should be relied on for the main fruit-crop. Commercial 
orchards should consist chiefly of late varieties for 
winter use and sale, but home orchards ought to have 
a goodly planting of the early sorts for family use. 
Apples should be grown on well-drained soil and ought 
to be regularly pruned, sprayed, and cultivated. They 
should be about 33 feet or more apart if the soil is very 
fertile. For the first few years, small fruits may be 
grown between the rows, or peaches and plums may be 
planted between the trees as fillers; cut out before the 
Apple trees need the room. 
Delicious. Large, conical fruits with a distinct pointed 
end, beautifully striped with yellow and crimson, 
and of exquisite flavor. A good Apple for dessert 
and cooking and an excellent shipper and keeper. 
Matures in late autumn. 
Winesap. A very popular dark red winter Apple of 
good quality which keeps its good flavor and texture 
until spring. An old and very well-liked variety 
which is still popular. 
Yellow Transparent. A fine early Apple of impressive 
size and smooth greenish yellow color, becoming 
bright yellow when fully ripe. Can be used while 
still green for cooking purposes but develops a 
delicious flavor when mature. A very strong and 
thrifty tree. Price per tree
