U. S. PLANT PATENT No. 125 
Yorking York Imperial 
The above print was made from a drawing of average samples of the fruit of YORKING and YORK. While every 
Yorking on the tree was a solid red, many of the \ orks were green and others only showed traces of red stripes 
WILL REVOLUTIONIZE APPLE INDUSTRY 
Where the York Imperial has been grown. The YORKING will not 
only displace the York, but will challenge other varieties over a greater 
area than the York has ever been grown. 
CHIEF ADVANTAGES 
1. Color —Every Apple being a Solid Red is a tremendous advantage. 
2. Colors Early —Being able to harvest Yorking two weeks before the 
York, it enjoys advantage in price. 
3. Quicker Sales —-A basket or barrel of No. 1 Apples—every Apple 
being a solid red—will sell more readily than a basket or barrel con¬ 
taining just enough color to pass inspection. 
4. More No. 1 Apples —There being no culls on account of lack in 
color, the pack will be much larger and the profit greater. 
5. Does Not Scald in Storage —A disadvantage of the York, as well 
as other partially green varieties, is scalding when held late in storage. 
The Yorking has never been known to scald. 
6. Apparently More Prolific —Because of having a larger leaf and more 
feeding capacity, it appears that the Yorking tree is going to be more 
productive, the fruit being uniform in size and in large volume. 
7. Protected by U. S. Patent —The tremendous popularity of the 
Yorking will naturally bring claims of having something “JUST AS 
GOOD.” However, the Yorking being protected by U. S. Patent 
No. 125, you are protected when you insist on Yorking, rejecting any 
so-called “JUST AS GOOD” offered as Red Yorks. 
Yorking Looks Good to Prof. H. E. Knowlton 
of University of West Virginia 
I have your recent letter together with specimens of York which you 
have designated as “Yorking.” These Apples look good to me and I feel 
that this York strain has much promise and will be planted in the future 
in preference to the parent variety. We are anxious to get hold of some 
of these trees for testing purposes. Since the eastern part of West Virginia 
will most likely desire this variety, I think it is important that we get 
it under test as soon as possible.
