* APPLES 
STANDARD WINTER VARIETIES 
A large per cent of all Apples planted is 
n 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 
most likely you will find that we offer 
something better to take its place. 
Albemarle Pippin (Newtown Pippin). 
Yellowish green, medium size. Late 
keeper; crisp and tender. Its culture is 
limited to a few localities, growing to 
perfection in Albemarle County, Vir- 
ginia, where it is extensively grown. 
Baldwin. An old-time Winter red Apple 
in New York and New England States, 
where it is grown commercially, but a 
Fall Apple in Virginia. 
Ben Davis. Medium sized, 
red striped, early bearer. A 
good pollenizer, but an Apple 
of poor quality. 
*Cortland. An improved Mc- 
Intosh. Later, better keeper, 
larger, deeper red, firmer, 
better shipper. 
Delicious. Well-known Winter 
variety. Large, red striped; 
almost sweet. One of the 
most popular varieties until 
the New Red Strains were 
introduced. We recommend 
the New Red Strains instead 
of the Standard Delicious. 
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 than the standard Grimes Golden 
tree. Available in 1 yr. only. 10c extra 
per tree. 
*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. How- 
ever, we now recommend the New Red 
Jonathan. See Page 4. 
Lady. Small, golden background, red 
blush; highly flavored; excellent quality. 
Extremely popular for decoration pur- 
poses on dining room and dining car 
tables and eating from hand. The fruit 
is rare and sells for unusually high prices. 
Lowry. An Apple of which Virginia is 
proud, because of its being one of the 
finest Apples grown and having origin- 
ated here in Virginia. Medium to large, 
mahogany-red. As sweet as the Delicious 
and sells for fully as much on markets 
wherever known. Trees grow to be very 
large and are heavy bearers, seldom 
failing to produce a crop. By all means 
include the Lowry in your next planting, 
regardless of whether it is a commercial 
or home orchard. See Page 5 for the 
Lowry in color. 
*Macoun. A late McIntosh possessing 
| better color and better keeping qualities 
than the Standard McIntosh; also hangs 
on the tree later. 



New Red Stayman 
(See Page 4 for Description) 
Mammoth Black Twig. A seedling of 
Winesap, greatly resembing the mother 
tree, but growing more vigorously and 
bearing larger fruit. A large red Apple 
of good appearing, eating, and keeping 
qualities. Has one fault of being a shy 
bearer. 
*McIntosh. One of the most popular red, 
Winter varieties in the New England 
States, where it is extensively planted. 
Not generally planted in Virginia and 
adjoining States because of its maturing 
too early for Winter storage. 
*Northwestern Greening. Medium to 
large, a clear greenish yellow. For eating 
and cooking. Tree is not an early bearer 
but is hardy, prolific, and long lived.

*Paragon Winesap. Resembles Mam- 
moth Black Twig very much but is a 
better bearer. We recommend in prefer- 
ence to the Mammoth Black Twig. 
Rome Beauty. Uniformly large, smooth; 
shaded and striped with bright red. 
Flesh tender, keen. A splendid Winter 
variety that has not been given the 
credit it merits. Blooms late and seldom 
fails. Always sells for as much as most 
other standard varieties. We, however, 
recommend the New Red Rome Strains 
instead. See Page 4. 
Stayman Winesap. One of the best 
known, most popular commercial varie- 
ties. Medium to large, conical, yellowish 
green background, red striped. Flesh 
fine and crisp, highly flavored. One of 
the most delicious Apples grown. See 
Page 4 for description of New Red 
Stayman, which has 100 per cent more 
color. 
*Sweet Paradise. Excellent quality; 
greenish yellow; sweet. Medium size. 
*Turley. A new Stayman Winesap with 
more color than the Stayman and can 
be harvested earlier. Tree is a vigorous 
grower and early bearer. Fruit does not 
crack on tree, as is sometimes the case 
with the Stayman. The Turley origin- 
ated in Indiana and has proven ex- 
tremely popular wherever it has been 
planted. 
*Virginia Beauty. A native of the State; 
an Apple of which Virginia is proud. 
Late Fall and early Winter. Resembling 
Red Delicious in quality and shape, but 
darker color. Excellent quality. 
*Winesap. A variety that has 
probably done as much as 
any other Apple in winning a 
reputation for Virginia Ap- 
ples on all the markets of the 
world. Medium size; red skin, 
slightly streaked on yellow, 
flesh firm, crisp, rich, sub- 
acid. November to May. 
*Yellow Delicious. Conical- 
shaped, golden yellow De- 
licious, somewhat resembling 
Grimes Golden but larger. 
An early, prolific bearer. 
Popular as a home orchard 
variety, as well as a profit- 
able commercial Apple. 
Recommended as a cross 
pollenizer. Also known as 
Golden Delicious. 
*York Imperial. Undoubted- 
y the most extensively 
planted commercial Apple in the famous 
Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge area 
of Virginia, West Virginia, and Penn- 
sylvania. Greenish yellow background, 
red striped cheek. Prolific bearer; ex- 
cellent keeper. In recent years the 
York Imperial is being replaced with 
its offspring, Yorking—a Solid Red 
York. See Page 4 
*Yorking. A sport of the York Imperial, 
differing by being a solid red and coloring 
two weeks earlier. See Yorking in na- 
tural color on Page 4.
