WINESAP—Sometimes called Old Winesap and Virginia 
Winesap; medium size, oblong, smooth, and a fine dark red 
—one of the best red colored apples grown; flesh yellow, 
crisp, tender, very juicy, aromatic, firm and excellent flavor. 
Very long keeper and considered the best cold storage vari¬ 
ety, keeping until July. A strong grower; comes into bear¬ 
ing early and is remarkable for its regular and abundant 
crops. Grimes should be planted with Winesap for proper 
pollinization. Winesap has the reputation, being a leader 
for many years; the name is familiar to everyone. Best box 
apple grown, which has made it famous in Oregon and 
Washington; also a wonderful bushel and barrel apple, be¬ 
ing extensively grown in Virginia for export and domestic 
trade. Supply of Winesap is always limited, with heavy de¬ 
mand from the fancy markets, causing W'inesap to be one of 
the highest average priced apples commercially grown. 
WEALTHY—Fall. Medium to large size, round; almost solid 
red; flesh white or a little stained; tender, crisp, juicy, fine 
grained, aromatic and very good flavor. Relative good 
keeper. One of the most profitable commercial apples. 
Tree is very hardy, withstanding unusually cold climates, 
vigorous, fruits at early age, bears regular and abundant 
crops. Tree somewhat dwarf, making a fine filler. 
Yellow Newton or Albemarle Pippin—Winter. Large, 
round, or a little lop-sided, ribbed and somewhat irregular, 
long keeper. Tree a slow grower and light bearer in poor 
soils, but right soil and care bring a world-beater when it 
will thrive, but no good at all in soils and under conditions 
not adapted to its exacting requirements. Famous in sec¬ 
tion around Crozet, Va., and sections of Ore. and Wash. 
Wonderful box apple, and always brings highest prices. 
YORK IMPERIAL—Winter. Medium to large size, round, 
irregular, greenish yellow overlaid with bright red; flesh 
tender, firm, crisp, and high flavor; wonderful keeper; can 
be kept in cold storage until June. Tree is a vigorous grower, 
strong and healthy: an unusually heavy bearer. Other vari¬ 
eties may fail to set fruit and suffer from off years, but York 
Imperial, with proper cultural methods, will bear consist¬ 
ently from year to year. York Imperial is the most popular 
winter variety for cooking; also good for eating: has a na¬ 
tional reputation as a strong leader, and favorable demand 
with average good prices. York Imperial is a wonderful 
apple for packing in bushels for the domestic trade; is pos¬ 
sibly tbe largest and best selling variety packed in barrels 
for the export trade, especially European and South Amer¬ 
ican markets. Its long keeping, long distance shipping qual¬ 
ities, attractive color, and being a heavy cropper established 
^ ork Imperial the leading commercial apple for Southern 
Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia, and 
generally considered as the best average money maker.
