Prof. G. S. Ralston, formerly associated with Virginia 
Hort. Extension Dept., congratulates us on Yorking 
I hasten to congratulate your enterprise in appreciating and locating a 
selection of the York which gives the very much to be desired in high col¬ 
ored fruit. Knowing your keen attention to business and your devotion 
to improving the horticulture of Virginia, I would naturally expect you 
to seek a high colored “sport” of the York or any other Virginia variety.

PLANTS AND PLANTING 
Many people make the serious mistake of buying cheap plants, believing them to 
be “bargains.” Too often this type of plant proves to be the most expensive in the end. 
Frequently, unreliable nurseries and salesmen who do not represent any particular 
nursery offer stock at prices far below that asked by reliable concerns. The result is 
usually stock of poor quality infested with insects and diseases and seldom true to 
name. Some general rules for purchasing nursery stock may be followed profitably. 
1. Buy only from a reliable nursery. This does not mean that the nursery should be 
a large one but that it should be quite widely known and its stock have a good 
reputation. 
2. Do not purchase stock from salesmen who do not represent reliable companies, 
who make exaggerated claims for their stock, or for future service. Certain salesmen 
guarantee to care for the trees, pruning and spraying, for a specified number of years; 
but this service is seldom, if ever, rendered, once the money is collected from the buyer. 
APPLES—Winter Varieties — (Continued from page 7) 
McINTOSH. One of the most popular 
red, Winter varieties in the New Eng¬ 
land States, where it is extensively 
planted. Not generally planted in Vir¬ 
ginia and adjoining States because of 
maturing too early for Winter storage. 
MOTHER. Medium sized red late Fall, 
early Winter export variety. One of the 
latest Apples to bloom. Seldom killed 
by late Spring frosts. 
NORTHWESTERN GREENING. Me¬ 
dium to large, a clear pale yellow or 
green. For eating and cooking. Tree 
is not an early bearer but is hardy, pro¬ 
lific and long lived. 
PARAGON. Resembles Mammoth Black 
Twig very much but is a better bearer. 
RED ROME. Same as Rome Beauty, 
with the exception of color, being a 
solid, bright red, and coloring two 
weeks earlier. We strongly recommend 
planting the red sports in preference 
to common varieties. See page 8. 
ROME BEAUTY. Uniformly large, 
smooth; shaded and striped with bright 
red. Flesh tender, keen. A splendid 
Winter variety that has not been given 
the credit it merits. Blooms late and 
seldom fails. Always sells for as much 
as most other standard varieties. We, 
however, recommend the New Red 
Rome instead. 
STAYMAN WINESAP. One of the best 
known, most popular commercial vari¬ 
eties. Medium to large; conical; yellow¬ 
ish green background, red striped. 
Flesh fine and crisp, highly flavored. 
One of the most delicious Apples 
grown. See page 8 for description of 
New Red Stayman, which has 100 per 
cent more color. 
SWEET PARADISE. Excellent quality; 
greenish yellow; sweet. Medium size. 
TURLEY. A riew Stayman Winesap with 
more color than the Stayman and can 
be harvested earlier. Tree is a vigorous 
grower and early bearer. Fruit does not 
crack on tree, as is sometimes the case 
with the Stayman. T he Turley originated 
in Indiana and has proven extremely 
popular wherever it has been planted. 
VIRGINIA BEAUTY. A native of the 
state; an Apple of which Virginia is 
proud. Late Fall and early Winter. 
Resembling Red Delicious in quality 
and shape, but much darker in color, 
better quality. 
WINESAP. A variety that has prob¬ 
ably done as much as any other Apple 
in winning a reputation for Virginia 
Apples on all the markets of the world. 
Medium size; red skin, 
slightly streaked on yellow, 
flesh firm, crisp, rich, sub¬ 
acid. November to May.

Our soil especially suited for growing Fruit Trees and we can 
furnish the best at reasonable prices. 
We are located in the heart of the commercial fruit section, 
where varieties can be studied in bearing orchards. 
M ass Production— We grow Fruit Trees in large quantities, 
saving on cost. 
We Are Trained Nurserymen and know how to grow and 
handle trees. 
Sold Nearby —We concentrate on selling our stock in Virginia 
and adjoining States, saving on transportation. 
Our Service Good —With our stock goes dependable and prompt 
service. 
Prices Reasonable —We do not attempt to appeal to planters 
by unreasonably low prices. Our appeal is good trees at fair 
prices, rather than cheapening quality to make prices lower. 
Our Guarantee Means Something. We are established Nurs¬ 
erymen with large holdings. 
Our stock gives satisfactory results because we have the facilities 
to grow good trees and serve you. 
YELLOW DELICIOUS. Conical shaped, 
golden yellow Delicious somewhat re¬ 
sembling Grimes Golden but larger. 
An early, prolific bearer. Popular as a 
home orchard variety, as well as a 
profitable commercial Apple. Trees will 
often bear at two years of age. 
YORK IMPERIAL. Undoubtedly the 
most extensively planted commercial 
Apple in the famous Shenandoah Val¬ 
ley and Blue Ridge area of Virginia, 
West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. 
Greenish yellow background, red 
striped cheek. Prolific bearer; excellent 
keeper. A large percentage of our York 
Apples are exported to the English and 
Frenph markets. Until the Yorking was 
introduced, the York was Shenandoah 
Valley’s most popular variety. How¬ 
ever, we now strongly recommend 
planting the Yorking, a sport of the 
York, having twice as much color. 
See pages 4 and 5 for more complete 
description of the Yorking. 
YORKING. A sport of the York Im¬ 
perial, differing by being a solid red and 
coloring two weeks earlier. See^Yorking 
in natural color on page 5.
