They are then to be used as "stocks" on which to graft Baldwin, Winesap or other varieties.
I consider the Winesap the best, as it has paid me the best, and I am planting for winter profit only these two.
I store in an out cellar covered with dirt, in barrels, and find Winesap keeps the best.
I have stored some in barrels in cellar, and all kept well, Winesap perhaps a little the better.
I would not recommend the Winesap as a commercial apple, as it is usually small.
It is much like Winesap, requiring more moisture than other varieties.
I prefer Ben Davis and Winesap, on bottom land with a second slope.
It is conceded to be a seedling of the Black Twig (said to be a misnomer for the Winesap).
These two lead all others, and are followed by Winesap and Jonathan.
I am successful in storing apples in bulk in a cellar; find Winesap to keep best.
