YORKING 
You Cannot Be Without THIS NEW

Read below excerpts from letters written by men who are authorities on fruits 
NOTE—Where parent is mentioned in any of the letters below it has reference to the York Imperial Apple, 
as “YORKING” is a sport of this variety 
Dean H. L. Price of V. P. I. Says 
"Yorking a Great Improvement 
Over York” 
Unquestionably, the limb in question is the tree bud mu¬ 
tation of the York Imperial Apple. It is a great improve¬ 
ment over its parent in color and I am personally satisfied 
that there is a marked difference in the foliage and a lesser 
difference in growth. I consider this sport of equal impor¬ 
tance to the appearance of Starking, Richared, Blaxtayman 
and other red fruited sporting forms.

Prof. A. H. Teske, Extension Horticulturist, 
Considers Yorking a Real Find 
I want to tell you how much I enjoyed the trip Saturday 
and the opportunity to see the original tree from which you 
are propagating the Yorking. I think you have a real find 
in this bud sport and I do not hesitate to say that the grow¬ 
ers should avail themselves of the opportunity of planting 
the Yorking when planting York Imperial trees. In my 
opinion a grower would make a grave mistake to plant the 
common York Imperial wherever the Yorking is available

A GREAT DISCOVERY 
YORKING is from a sport bud found on a common York tree at Shippensburg, Penna. One limb on the tree bears typical 
York Apples which are solid red and color two weeks ahead of common Yorks. After young trees grafted from the sport 
limb began bearing the same solid red fruit, a U. S. Patent was awarded the new, sensational red sport, which had been 
named YORKING.
