_ On the following pages we offer the finest strains of Fruit Varieties our long experience affords. We are constantly improving existing 
varieties and testing new introductions, offering the outstanding ones. 
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 favorite 
are the best to be had. Commercial growers are now planting chiefly the Double Red Apple strains which we grow in large quantities. 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 Waynesboro Nurseries supply your needs— 
with strains that have been thoroughly tested for performance.

APPLE S— 2c king of Pruitt 
Plant for Healthful Living. By carefully selecting varieties fresh fruit 
can be harvested from your trees over a period of six months and the better 
Winter varieties kept in common storage until the new crop is harvested— 
making fresh fruit possible throughout the year. 
Our selection of Apples has been carefully made up after many years of 
growing and testing. The newer, better ones 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 have almost displaced the older ones, and the tendency 
is towards using the best money can buy. All experienced planters are taking 
pollination into consideration in planting new orchards or even in replanting. 
So we recommend an assortment to provide for pollination; not depending 
iltogether on one variety. 
SUMMER AND FALL APPLES 
Summer and Fall Apples 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. Semi-dwarf tree. A new, early-bearing, red Summer Apple frequently 
fruiting second year after being transplanted. Fruit large, delicious. Con- 
sidered by many as the best early Apple. Just the tree for a small lot. 
BONUM. Excellent commercial Fall Apple; popular in 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 Trans- 
parent. Introduced by U.S. Department of Agriculture. Early, annual bearer. 
DOUBLE RED DUCHESS. Differs from the Standard Duchess by having 
more color and coloring earlier in the season. We recommend this Double Red 
Strain. Excellent home orchard variety, as well as a popular commercial 
Apple, having good color and being prolific.
