APPLES, continued 
WEALTHY. Fall. Medium size, round or with a point; almost solid red; flesh 
white or a little stained, tender, crisp, juicy, fine-grained, aromatic and very 
good. Splendid keeper, but best in December and January. It is one of the 
most profitable market Apples and always brings good prices, especially 
late in the season, when its quality is of the best. Tree very hardy and 
vigorous, and bears regular and abundant crops. “Wealthy belts” are in the 
higher districts and mountains. If Wealthy has been grown successfully in 
locations and soils similar to yours, plant it by all means. 
WILLIAMS (Williams Early Red). Summer. Large size; dark red, 
-( ' ^ sometimes yellow-splashed; flesh crisp, tender, juicy and 
subacid. Ready for market when people are growing hungry for new 
Apples. Especially popular in New England, and in the Boston markets it 
brings a good price. It is worthy of planting in every Apple-growing sec¬ 
tion. Trees begin to bear when quite young. See front cover for illustration 
of this splendid Apple in color. 
WINESAP. Winter. In the great Apple regions of Maryland, Virginia, West 
Virginia and the Appalachian section the Winesap is the Apple that should 
be planted freely. It can be grown in southern Pennsylvania, but, as a general 
rule, we recommend Stayman Winesap for planting north of Maryland. 
Winesap is of medium size, oblong, smooth; fine, dark red skin; the flesh is 
tinted yellow, tender, crisp and juicy. The fruit is firm and keeps well, 
making it a splendid commercial sort. When good specimens are packed in 
an attractive way—in boxes or small baskets—Winesap brings the highest 
prices of almost any Apple. The trees are strong growers, with an excep¬ 
tional spread of roots; bears early, freely and regularly. 
Winter Banana. Fall. Yellow. 
Winter Paradise (Paradise Winter Sweet). Winter. Green. 
WOLF RIVER. Summer. An exceedingly large and handsome Apple, which 
has supplanted Alexander in many of the large commercial orchards in the 
West. Skin is bright yellow, mottled and blushed with deep red and marked 
with conspicuous splashes and broad stripes of bright carmine; flesh is 
slightly tinged with yellow, firm, tender, juicy, aromatic and of good quality. 
It keeps remarkably well in ordinary storage, and with cold storage its season 
is practically unlimited. Bears profuse crops every other year, sometimes 
annually. 
Yellow Bellflower. Winter. Yellow. 
Yellow Newtown. Winter. Yellow. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT. Summer. We consider this one of the best 
commercial Apples, and one of the few kinds that grow and bear as well 
North as South. Will stand Canadian winters as well as Georgia summers. 
By many this is considered the best of all extra-early white Apples, and 
comes into market when the demand for summer Apples is extra strong; 
consequently it always brings the best prices. For nearby markets, to which 
it can be shipped in fancy baskets or boxes, it is one of the most valuable 
Apples in our list. It bruises readily and must be handled with extra care. 
The fruit is medium to large, cream and yellow; tender, juicy, of fine flavor, 
subacid, fragrant. Trees very young bearers and yield big crops. Dwarf 
growers; prefer thin soil, such as hillsides and upland. 
YORK IMPERIAL. Winter. This is one of the most important commercial 
Apples grown. York Imperial trees have not missed a crop in the West 
Virginia section for many years. Does well everywhere; eastern, central and 
western growers find it adapted to their conditions. Often exported and sold 
for fancy prices. It has the advantage of mellowing in time for use soon after 
picking if not stored to prevent it. Medium sized, round, irregular, greenish 
yellow overlaid with bright red stripes; flesh tender, firm, crisp, juicy. Tree 
is a vigorous grower, strong and healthy, and an unusually heavy bearer.
