APPLE Mine eS 
Plant Patent No. 619. 
NEW and distinct variety of Apple Tree, very hardy and 
vigorous grower with stout branches well spaced, forming 
a low wide spread with a rather open top, an advantage 
for high colored apples throughout the tree. Requires less prun- 
ing than most varieties—a big saving in cost of picking. Fruit 
large re:l to almost crimson black, well spaced, usually setting 
on an apple every eight to ten inches, which is an advantage to 
size and color; hangs exceptionally well to the tree late. Unlike 
most apples this Winesap does not need a Hormone spray. An 
early regular bearer, orchards now ten to twelve years old bear- 
ing ten or more bushels of larze red apples each year. Has ex- 
cellent storage and shipping qualities. Will keep through the 
winter and late spring and still be crisp, juicy and hold that 
Winesap flavor; excellent for eating and cooking. An out- 
standing variety of a large red apple for the future commercial 
orchard. Trees: 4-ft. up, each $1.00; lots of 50, 75 cents.
