Virgintad Largest Growers 
On the following pages we offer the finest strains of fruit varieties our long 
experience affords. For more than thirty years we have been constantly im- 
proving existing varieties and testing new introductions, making available 
to our customers the best money can buy. We offer a new variety or strain 
only after its merits have been proven and it is considered worthy of intro- 
duction. Commercial growers are now planting chiefly Double Red Apple 
Strains, which we grow in large quantities. At last the importance of 
growing as much home fruit as possible is being recognized—not altogether for 
the sake of economy, but much pleasure and satisfaction can be found in 
gardening and fruit raising. Fruit never tastes quite so good as when gathered 
from your own garden and orchards. Don’t waste precious time and land by 
planting stock you can’t be sure of. Waynesboro Nurseries can supply your 
needs with strains that have been thoroughly tested for performance. 
Plant Apples now for shorter supplies which are expected to develop within the next few years due 
to the present light planting and abandoning of orchards of older, less desirable varieties. 
Vhe Kiug of Fructo 
ENJOY FRESH FRUIT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR 
By careful selection of varieties, Apples can be harvested from your trees 
over a period of six months and the better winter ones kept in storage until 
the new crop is harvested—making fresh fruit possible throughout the year. 
Our list 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 ones of the same class. 
Planters differ as to choice of varieties, size of trees, time to plant, etc. 
The New Double Red Stranis are displacing the older ones commercially, but 
for the benefit of home orchard planters we still offer many old family 
favorites. Experienced planters are taking pollination into consideration in 
planting new orchards or even in replanting. So we recommend an assortment 
to provide for pollination. 
YORKING’S CHIEF ADVANTAGES 
1. Color. Every Apple being a bright cherry-red with no trace of stripes. 
2. Colors Early: May be harvested two weeks ahead of York, resulting in 
better prices. 
3. Quicker Safes. A basket or box of No. 1 Apples, every Apple being a solid 
red, will sell more readily than fruit with just enough color to pass 
inspection. 
4. More No. 1 Apples. There being no culls due to lack of color, pack will 
be much larger and profit greater. 
5. Never Known to Scald in Storage. A disadvantage of the York, as well as 
other partially green varieties, is scalding when held late in storage, which 
we have not found in the Yorking. 
6. Apparently more Prolific. 
Because of having a larger 
leaf and more feeding ca- 
pacity, it appears that the 
Yorking tree is going to 
be more productive, the 
fruit being uniform in size 
and in large volume. 
7. Combination Apple. One 
of the best for processing. 
Due to its bright red color, 
it is also in popular de- 
mand on the fresh fruit 
market.

Yorking on the tree was a solid red, many of the Yorks were green and others only showed) traces of red stripes.

YORKING has proved to be a great discovery, introduced at a time when 
there was need of better color and quality to meet increasing competition 
from citrus fruits and Apples from other sections. By far our largest seller 
and proving to be the growers’ most profitable Apple. 
Senator Harry F. Byrd, in addressing 5,000 fruit growers at his annual 
picnic, reported finding Yorking superior to all Red York strains tested. He 
also reported Vance Delicious as extremely promising and Double Red Rome 
262 a good early strain.
