WINTER VARIETIES 
A large percent of all Apples planted is in Winter varieties because 
of their being best suited for storage and having a longer marketing 
season. 
OUR VARIETIES CAREFULLY SELECTED 
From hundreds and hundreds of known varieties, most of which 
we have carefully studied, we have selected and are offering the ones 
we consider most desirable. Many of the varieties we eliminated 
have some merits but are not offered because of better varieties. 
Do not be disappointed if you do not find listed the Old Family 
Favorite, for we offer something better to take its place. 
ALBEMARLE PIPPIN (NEWTON PIP¬ 
PIN). Yellowish green, medium size. Late 
keeper; crisp and tender. Popular as an 
export variety because of its excellent eating 
and keeping qualities. It has made famous 
Albemarle County, Virginia, where it is ex¬ 
tensively grown. 
BEN DAVIS. Medium size; red striped. Early 
bearer. Has been a money maker for many 
orchardists. However, it is an Apple of poor 
quality. One of the best cross pollenizers. 
DELICIOUS. Well known Winter variety. 
Large, red striped; almost sweet. One of the 
most popular varieties until the New Red 
Sport Delicious was introduced. We recom¬ 
mend the New Red Delicious instead of the 
Standard Delicious. See comparison on page 9. 
HYSLOP CRAB. Most popular 
of the Crabs. Small, red striped. 
Used for jellies and pickles. 
JONATHAN. A well known standard com¬ 
mercial variety. Medium size; greenish 
background, red cheek, white flesh. Ready 
for market early Winter. Still popular as a 
commercial variety. However, we now offer a 
New Sport Red Jonathan possessing all the 
good qualities of the Standard Jonathan and 
having the advantage of twice as much color. 
See more complete description of New Red 
Jonathan on page 9. 
KING DAVID. Medium sized, red striped 
early Winter variety. Less popular since the 
New Double Red Varieties have been intro¬ 
duced. 
MACOUN. A late McIntosh which does not 
drop before maturing and is a late Winter 
variety here in Virginia, while the McIntosh 
matures in early Fall. Macoun also has the 
advantage of better color, being a solid, dark 
red, no stripes. The quality of the fruit is 
apparently the same as that of the McIntosh. 
This New McIntosh has much promise in 
Virginia and adjoining States. 
MAMMOTH BLACK TWIG. A seedling of 
GRIMES GOLDEN. Possibly the best known 
Yellow Apple. Rich, spicy flavor. Excellent 
for cooking as well as eating from hand. 
GRIMES GOLDEN, Double Worked. Lives 
longer. The Grimes wood is more subject to 
root rot than most varieties and Standard 
Grimes trees are considered short lived. By 
top-working Grimes on another more resist¬ 
ant wood, the life of the tree is extended. 
Double Worked Grimes costs a few cents 
more per tree, but may mean several addi¬ 
tional crops and an excellent investment. We 
attempt to grow Double Worked Grimes only 
for commercial growers who realize and ap¬ 
preciate their advantage. It is important 
that you place your order early in the season 
for Double Worked Grimes. 
Perhaps the Oldest and Largest Lowry 
Orchard in the State 
Notice the well developed trees and the tre¬ 
mendous crop of fruit they carry—some trees 
averaging 25 barrels per tree. Even though 
the Lowry makes heavy yields, it is seldom 
necessary to thin the fruit, due to the manner 
in which the fruit is distributed over the tree. 
LADY. Small; golden background, red blush; 
highly flavored; excellent quality; demands 
unusually high prices, having sold for as 
much as $20.00 per barrel on U. S. markets, 
and is equally as popular on export markets. 
LOWRY. An Apple of which Virginia is proud, 
because of its being one of the finest Apples 
grown and having originated here in Vir¬ 
ginia. The Lowry, however, is no longer 
confined to Virginia, since it is now being 
planted by the most successful fruit growers 
in many other States. The Lowry is popular 
as both a commercial and home orchard f 
variety. You cannot go wrong planting 
Lowry, regardless of whether you are * r 
planting for market or 
home consumption. See 
page 9 for Lowry in color. 
Winesap, greatly resembling the mother tree, 
but growing more vigorously and bearing 
arger fruit. A large red Apple of good ap¬ 
pearing, eating and keeping qualities. Its 
only fault is being a light bearer.
