Winesap—We can hardly find words sufficiently 
strong to express the high opinion we have of this 
fruit, possessing as it does a combination of so many

justly esteemed, and forbearing it scarcely has a rival. 
Considering all this we must earnestly recommend 
it to the consideration of all orchardists. Fruit me¬

red, wri.h a few streaks and a little yellow ground ap¬ 
pearing on the shady side; flesh yellow, firm, crisp,
