Stayman Winesap 
THE PREMIER APPLE FOR EASTERN ORCHARDS 
This superb winter Apple succeeds wonderfully in the Mid¬ 
dle Atlantic states. It is a splendid variety, some growers say 
the best there is for this section. The trees come into bearing 
in five years or sooner,^ and, with good care, give four to ten 
or more bushels of fruit per tree after the eighth year. The 
fruit is 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. _ 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. 
This splendid Apple 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 fruit, looks or quality. Except^ at the highest elevations, this 
splendid variety is almost always our most desirable Apple for all sections east 
of the Mississippi. See illustration in color on the third cover. 
Sweet Bough. Summer. Yellow with blush. 
Tompkins King. Fall. Will keep quite late in winter if stored in a cool 
place. Fruit is bright red, with yellow tint; flesh yellow, crisp and juicy. 
Wagener. Winter. A bright red Apple of fine flavor and texture. Tree is 
an early bearer and a reliable producer. 
WEALTHY. Fall. Medium size, round or pointed, almost solid red; 
_ flesh white or a little stained, tender, crisp, juicy, fine 
grained, 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.
