WAYNESBORO, VIRGINIA 



For more than a hundred years the York Im- 
Py perial Apple, which originated in Pennsyl- 
vania, was one of Virginia’s most popular 
G2 Wt commercial and home orchard varieties. No 
Apple was found good enough to dislodge it 
from its position at the top of the ladder 
until its offspring YORKING, The York Supreme, was introduced 10 years ago. 
The YORKING is a sport of the famous York Imperial, differing by being a 
solid red and coloring 2 or 3 weeks earlier. The YORKING has now almost en- 
tirely displaced the York Imperialin new plantings. This new solid red sport is 
one of the few Apples ever to be honored with a U.S. Patent. 10c. extra per tree.

keeper. A shy bearer.

New England States, but only a Fall Apple in Virginia where it is little planted.

¥ STAYMAN WINESAP. One of the best known, most extensively planted of Winter 
varieties. Large, green background, red stripe. Rich, crisp, tender, yellow meat. Excel- 
lent cooker, as well as for eating from hand. Its only fault is cracking in wet weather 
and being somewhat shy of color. 
SWEET PARADISE. At one time there were many Sweet Apples offered by nurseries, 
but they have been dropped one by one until there are only two or three to be found in 
nursery catalogues. Sweet Paradise, considered the best, is still in demand, especially 
in the home orchard and in the old-time cellar, where it will keep throughout Winter. 
We recommend that the Sweet Paradise be included in your home orchard planting. 
TURLEY WINESAP. An Improved Stayman, resembling the Standard Stayman 
closely but is less subject to cracking and has better color. 
" VIRGINIA BEAUTY. A native of the State, an Apple of which Virginia is proud. 
Late Fall and early Winter. Resembles Red Delicious in quality and shape, but dark- 
er color. Excellent quality. 
* VIRGINIA CRAB. Medium size, golden yellow, jelly Crab. Late bloomer, prolific 
bearer, seldom failing. Will produce crops with as little attention as any Apple 
we know. Tree ornamental as well as fruitful. 
WINESAP. A variety that has probably done as much as any other Apple in winning a 
reputation for Virginia Apples on all markets of the world Itis also popularin almost 
all other parts of the U.S. and comes as near being adapted to all soils and climates as 
any Apple we know of. Medium size, red skin slightly streaked on yellow; flesh firm, 
crisp, sub-acid. November to May. 
* WINTER BANANA. Large, golden yellow, red cheek Winter variety. Very aromatic; 
spicy flavor. Vigorous grower, early bearer. 
YELLOW DELICIOUS. Listed by some as Golden Delicious. Conical shape, golden 
yellow. Somewhat resembles Grimes Golden but larger. An early prolific bearer. 
Popular as a home orchard variety as well as a profitable commercial Apple. Recom- 
| mended as a cross pollinator. : 
uv YORK IMPERIAL. Undoubtedly most extensively planted commercial Apple in famous 
Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge area of Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. 
Greenish yellow background, red striped cneek; prolific bearer, excellent keeper. In re- 
cent years York Imperial is being displaced with its offspring Yorking, a solid Red York. 


VANCE DELICIOUS 
Numerous strains of Delicious Sports are now on the 
market. We have tested the most promising ones and 
find to be outstanding the Vance Delicious, ared sport 
which originated in Albemarle County, Virginia, and 
was introduced by the late R. G. Vance, who at one 
time served as President of the Virginia Horticultural 
Society. The Vance Delicious has all the good charac- 
teristics of the best Red Sports—being fully as large 
and having typical Delicious shape, flavor, and quality 
—hbut differs by coloring earlier, being the first of the 
Red Delicious Strains ready for market. This enables 
Eastern growers to market their fruit before the West- 
ern Pack appears as competition. 10c. extra per tree.
