FRUIT DEPARTMENT 
Largest Growers in Virginia < Possibly the East 
Our fruit tree business is chiefly with commercial planters , who are 
familiar with standard varieties and the quality of the stock we furnish. 
Therefore , in this catalogue we will not go into lengthy descriptions of 
varieties almost every commercial planter already knows. 
Ci n our descriptions of the new varieties we will attempt to bring out any weak 
Qj points the variety may have, as well as its merits, so that you may be guided 
by same in making a selection. 
We Are Continually on the Alert for Newer and Better Varieties 
We, however, do not attempt to offer a new variety until we have either thoroughly tested it ourselves or 
have accurate information from a reliable source. It costs too much money to introduce a new variety 
and to offer same before we are thoroughly convinced that its merits justify its being placed on our list 
and in your orchard. Within the past ten years we have not attempted so much to discover new varieties 
as we have to improve on the varieties we already have. Much has been accomplished in that direction. 
Improvements have been confined chiefly to color. 
Among the improved strains are the New Red Delicious, New Red Stayman, New Red Jonathan) 
New Red Rome, New Red Duchess, and Red Spy. The outstanding New Red Sport is the YORKING> 
which is one of the few Apples ever to be honored with a United States Patent- 
^ % The YORKING is a sport of the Standard York, differing by being a solid red 
■k it m "A , ^ and coloring two weeks earlier. 
▼ ^ , For the first time this season we are offering the Turley Apple, a variety we 
h *1 V 1 have not had an opportunity of thoroughly testing ourselves, but it 
comes to us highly recommended, and in response to numerous 
M 3 # . !, , requests, the Turley is being made available.
