~ EARLY RED STAYMAN 
(NEIPLING’S) 
A NEW RED SPORT OF THE BLAXTAYMAN 
Finest of All The Stayman Sports We Have Found 
Gives Full Color on Apples All Over the Tree 
Red Stayman — “Best of the Stayman 
Neipling’s Early 
Sports.”’ 
Appealing red color all over the apple two weeks earlier 
puts this apple to market at greater profits. 
Observations covering the past six years prove Neiplings 
to be superior to any other Red Stayman we have found. 
You will not go wrong when you plant this strain of bright 
Red Stayman. 
Colors 100% all over the apple from 10 to 20 days before 
the revular Stayman Growers can pick the entire crop 
at one picking if desired and avoid losses. Relieves the 
large grower of Stayman of his picking problem. Cold 
storage tests show it will keep through to following May and 
come out with less seald, more flavor and more snap than 
any other type Stayman. It’s different—It’s what you want 
—It has that natural full bright Stayman finish. Originated 
with the late F. 8S. Neipling, Waterford, N. J., and was dis- 
Pee among the first trees he planted of Blaxtayman in 
The second and third generation trees are bearing in the 
Neipling orchards and have attracted fruit growers and hor- 
ticulturists from many sections. 
Various displays of these handsome fruits have excited 
comments from many fruit growers due to early picking 
time which is long before the regular Stayman season. Mr. 
Neipling during his lifetime always picked and sold the 
“Neipling Stayman”’ long before regular Stayman were 
harvested. 
THE FRUIT COLORS A BRILLIANT, ATTRACTIVE 
RED OVER THE ENTIRE TREE, BEING IDENTICAL 
IN SHAPE TO THE REGULAR STAYMAN; ALSO 
IN TEXTURE. We observed this new sport for several 
years and hesitated to introduce it because the Blaxtay- 
man was proving so satisfactory. However, ripening early 
and having its brilliant, bright red color, we recommend it 
for trial in all Stayman producing areas and in more 
northerly apple sections where they have been unable to 
successfully grow the Stayman apple in the past.

parent. 
2. ANNUAL BEARER—Normal to heavy crops each year.

6. TREE IS VIGOROUS SEMI-SPREADING IN GROWTH 
Ere BLIGHT RESISTANT, COMES INTO BHARING 
HARLY. 
Found as a chance seedling in the Yellow Transparent or- 
chard of Mr. Wrixham McelIlvain near Magnolia, Delaware 
about 1920. , " 
Mr. Mecllvain after several years’ observation, determined 
the variety to be superior in every way to the Transparent 
and grafted over his Transparent orchard _to this variety. 
The 2nd generation orchard has been producing heavy crops. 
A third generation orchard was planted in 19385 and began 
bearing at 4 years of age. The tree is more spreading than 
Transparent vigorous and hardy in wood, not being subject 
to blight and other fungus diseases. The fruit averages 
large in size, being a little more flat in shape than Trans- 
parent and packing out commercial sizes of 244” and 2%” 
at picking time. The Wrixparent ripens from 10 to 15 days 
before Yellow Transparent and ripens its fruit evenly so 
that the entire crop may be harvested in two pickings if 
desired. It is an attractive light green color without mark- 
ings; its flesh is white crisp, sprightly, very fine in texture 
and does not bruise readily or turn dark after bruising. 
Sub-acid in flavor and unsurpassed as a cooking apple. The 
fruit keeps well and can be held for 10 to 15 days after pick- 
ing without storage. 
BOUNTIFUL STRAIN 
‘IMPROVED WINESAP 
A Glorified Bud Selection of the Famous Winesap 
Comes to The Planter With the Same Beautiful Color 
—Same Quality—Same Keeping Ability. 
“Seek and ye shall find’ is the motto at Bountiful Ridge 
in their search for New and Better fruits. For years fruit 
growers from many sections have clamored for a LARGE 
WINESAP APPLE. Many types have come to our obser- 
vation and when traced down were found wanting until 
Mr. Harry W. Miller, President of The Consolidated Orchard 
Co., Paw Paw, W. Va., told us of this type they have pro- 
ducing in their well known Martins Mountain orchard and 
which when investigated proved to be more than he claimed 
and without question the finest type of Winesap apple ever 
to come under our observation. 
The original tree stands in a block of the Regular Stay- 
mans Winesap and has not failed to produce a heavy crop 
now for over 25 consecutive years, producing 36 bu. in 1941, 
the fruits being as large or larger some years than in regu- 
lar Stayman on adjoining trees. 
The truit has every characteristic of the Old Winesap in 
shape, color, quality and growth habits and at harvest time, 
Mr. Miller has been able to pack most of the apples in the 
23%4”’ up size, the balance going into the 24%” grade. The 
tree is a typical Winesap tree in growth, having the exact 
leaf marking of the old Winesap. The Miller Bros. are 
better known as the “Pioneer Orchardists of West Virginia’’ 
and are producing more apples than any other individual or 
family group in the State today. We are proud that ap- 
proximately 70% of their producing orchards are trees we 
grew for them. They are known almost nationally as au- 
thorities on fruit production and varieties. It is fitting in- 
deed that an improved type of the Famous and Nationally 
known Winesap apple should originate in their orchard. We 
know this will revive planting interest in this great apple.
