Stayman Winesap 
Stayman Winesap The gta y man Winesap is a vigorous grower with 
^ an open and spreading habit; bears young, and is 
an annual and reliable cropper. This apple is of the Winesap class, and while 
perhaps a little less brilliant in color than its parent it is equal, if not better, 
in quality and adapted to a wider range of soil and climate. 
The fruit is of medium to large size, quite uniform in shape and inclined to 
be somewhat flattened at the base. The skin is rather smooth and thick, of a 
green color, becoming more yellowish when ripe and covered with a dull 
mixed red, sometimes faintly striped with dull carmine. The flesh is greenish 
yellow in color, of firm texture, very juicy with a tart flavor. 
We do not hesitate in recommending this variety for planting in the interior 
valleys, foothills, mountain valleys and plateaus, as we believe it worthy of 
extensive cultivation. Ripens in December and can be kept until April. 
A 1 This popular variety is in great favor in the Yolo dis- 
Whlte Astrachan trict and is considered one of the really good apples 
for the interior valley and foothill regions and in the central coast counties. 
Its early ripening qualities combined with its value as a local shipper has made 
ready sale for the fruit in San Francisco markets. The tree is of Russian 
origin, a moderate grower inclined to spread with age. 
The fruit is of large size, roundish and flat at both ends and is very attract¬ 
ive. The skin is a deep waxen yellow color showing faint streaks of red or 
pink. Flesh is white and quite acid making it highly prized for culinary pur¬ 
poses. It reaches the markets when the cold storage apples are practically 
gone and for this reason brings good returns. Ripens in early July.

White Winter rearmam fruit growers as being one of the most profit¬

shape. The skin is smooth, greenish at first then gradually turning to a pale 
waxen yellow flushed on the sunny side with a brownish red and covered with

The White Winter Pearmain is highly recommended for planting in all sec¬ 
tions of California. Ripens the latter part of November and keeps well under 
ordinary conditions until January.

Winter tSanana wide spreading head, the limbs of which are inclined to 
droop, giving the tree the appearance of a weeping habit. It comes into bear¬ 
ing when young and produces regular and heavy crops.

very flat at the base. The skin is smooth, tough, moderately thick, waxy and
