APPLES, continued 
Stavman (Stayman’s Winesap). Winter. Very 
---- late keeper, but mellows for use in 
the fall. Medium to large, attractive ; green and 
yellow, almost hidden by dark red stripes; flesh 
yellow, not in the least mealy; plenty of juice; 
quality the finest, ranking with Yellow Newtown 
and Grimes’ Golden. Tree a quick and large 
grower, and seems to prefer dry soils and those 
not so rich and heavy. Preeminently the Apple 
to plant on dry hills where the soil is thin and water 
often decidedly lacking. Bears young, often 
producing a barrel to a tree when five years 
old. Bears every year, crops uniformly heavy. 
Stayman is now planted in nearly all new orchards 
in the East, to a large extent. You cannot find a 
better sort in the whole list, either for bearing 
habit, size of fruits, looks or quality. Except at 
the highest elevations, is almost always our most 
desirable Apple for east of the Mississippi. Do 
not hesitate to plant Stayman. (See page 19.) 
Summer Hagloe. Summer. Fruit uniformly large, 
handsomely striped; a good variety for eating 
fresh, and unexcelled for cooking. Tree is a good 
grower, begins to bear when small and produces 
freely. 
Sutton Beauty. Fall. Bright red striped 
with carmine on yellow ground. 
Sweet Bough. Summer. Pale yel¬ 
low, with a faint blush. 
Williams Early Red. 
Yellow Transparent Apples 
Tolman’s Sweet. Winter. Bright yellow with a 
few dots; flesh white. 
Wagener. Winter. A superior Apple of beautiful 
bright red, fine texture, high flavor and excellent 
quality. Tree bears early and is a reliable cropper. 
Walbridge. Winter. Yellow, striped carmine; 
crisp, tender and juicy. 
Wealthy. Winter. 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. Tree very 
hardy and vigorous and bears regular and abun¬ 
dant crops. “Wealthy belts” are in the higher 
districts and mountains. Investigate your con¬ 
ditions, and if Wealthy has been grown success¬ 
fully in similar locations and soils, plant it by all 
means. 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. 
Summer. Medium 
sized; dark red, 
sometimes yellow-splashed; flesh is crisp, tender, 
juicy and subacid. Ranks above all but one or 
two of this class. Fine in Delaware and the 
South. Use it—it is a money-maker 
where you can ship to markets in 
hampers without delay. 11 is ready 
for market just about the time 
people are growing hungry 
for new Apples, and it brings 
top prices. (See page 18.) 
Winesap. Winter. Fine 
-— keeper; me¬ 
dium size, oblong, smooth, 
and a fine dark red; flesh 
yellow, crisp, tender, very 
juicy, aromatic, firm and 
good. Tree a strong grower, 
root - growth exceptionally 
strong; it comes into bearing 
early and is remarkable for its 
regular and abundant crops. 
One of the very best sorts for 
lower elevations anywhere south 
of Pennsylvania, from tidewater to 
1,000 feet in Maryland, and to corres¬ 
ponding elevations south of Maryland. One of the 
sorts you must not overlook for these sections. When 
grown properly and packed in an attractive manner, 
. it brings the highest prices in the fancy market, where 
its quality causes it to be eagerly bought up. (See page 16.) 
Winter Banana. Winter. Season from 
—--- when picked until mid¬ 
dle of January, “Extra-fancy” is the only term 
which can be used to describe it in looks and 
quality. Large or extra large; golden yel¬ 
low; firm, fine-grained, rich, subacid. The 
name suggests the flavor. Tree thrives 
nearly everywhere. Should be packed 
in all the best ways, and sold soon 
after picking. Bruises speedily develop 
rot; requires careful storage. 
Wolf River. Winter. An exceed- 
--- in g1y large and 
handsome Apple, resembling Alexander 
somewhat, but is better in every way 
than that old standard variety. Wolf 
River 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
