WAYNESBORD, VIRGINIA 3 

On the following pages we offer you the finest strains of Fruit varieties 
our long experience can give you. We are constantly improving existing 
varieties and testing new introductions. 
eS aee : 
As Virginia’s Largest Growers, we confidently recommend our fruit 
trees and plants for successful growing in your home or commercial orchard 
or garden. We do not offer a new introduction until its merits have been 
proven—and you may be sure our strains of your favorites are the best 
to be had. 
At last we have come to realize the importance of growing as much of 
our fruit as possible, not altogether for the sake of economy, but much 
pleasure and satisfaction can be found in gardening and fruit raising. 
Fruit can never taste quite so good as when gathered from our own 
gardens and orchards. 
_ But don’t waste precious time and land by planting stock you can’t be 
SURE of. Let Virginia’s Largest Growers supply your needs—with strains 
that have been thoroughly tested for performance. 



FRUIT TREE POPULATION CONTINUES TO DECLINE 
Having decreased one-third between 1930 and 1940. For the past 
five years trees have not been available for normal planting, indi- 
cating a serious fruit shortage in the near future. 
APPLES 
The Apple continues to be the King of Fruits. By carefully selecting varieties 
fresh fruit can be harvested from your trees over a period of six months and the 
better Winter varieties can be kept in common storage until the new crop is har- 
vested—making fresh fruit possible throughout the year. 
Our selection of varieties of Apples has been carefully made up after many years 
of growing and testing. The newer, better varieties are listed only after having been 
thoroughly tested and found to excel older varieties of the same class. 
Planters differ as to choice of varieties, sized trees, time to plant, etc. The New 
Double Red Strains bave almost displaced the old varieties, and the tendency is 
towards using the best money can buy. All experienced planters are taking pol- 
lination into consideration in planting new orchards or even in replanting old 
orchards. So we recommend an assortment of varieties to provide for pollination; 
not depending altogether on one variety. 
SUMMER AND FALL APPLES 
Summer and Fall varieties have been neglected in commercial plantings and 
are now proving, in many cases, more profitable than Winter varieties. In the home 
orchard a selection from this list will furnish fried Apples and sauce from early June 
and ripe fruit from late June until November. We offer the following choice varieties. 
ANOKA. A new, early-bearing red striped Apple following Yellow Transparent. 
Recommended for the home orchard. 
BONUM. An excellent commercial Fall Apple; popular in the western part of 
North Carolina. Medium size red; good quality, heavy bearer. 
CLOSE. A new, early, red Apple ripening a few days ahead of Yellow Transparent. 
Introduced by U. S. Department of Agriculture. Early, annual bearer. 
EARLY HARVEST. One of the best known early Apples, ripening in Virginia in 
late June. Large, golden yellow. One of the old home orchard varieties which 
continues in excellent demand. 
EARLY RED BIRD. A new scarlet red Apple several days ahead of Yellow 
Transparent; good size, quality, good shipper. (See illustration.) 
FALL PIPPIN. An old favorite family variety ripening in August. Large golden 
yellow. Good for frying, as soon as half matured and most delicious when ripe. 
GRIMES GOLDEN. A well known, spicy, medium size golden yellow, commercial 
and home orchard variety. Ripens late Fall. 
HYSLOP CRAB. Most popular red, medium size Crab. Used chiefly for jellies 
and pickling. Strong growing tree, prolific bearer.
