Golden Winesap Apple
Excerpt from the Proceedings of the New Jersey State Horticultural Society:
“Mr. Paul also reports that a few Golden Winesap trees, planted in the fall of 1916 produced some fine apples this year. He believes that this variety is a fine team-mate for Stayman, both in flavor and keeping quality. Mr. John H. Barclay reports that he has put one barrel of Golden Winesap in storage in order to test its keeping quality. Mr. Barclay describes the Golden Winesap as a large yellow apple with very bright red cheek, and of very good quality. Mr. Clifford Nevius, of Middlesex County, reports that the Golden Winesap is the most promising new variety he has in hearing.”

Excerpt from the PROCEEDINGS of the THIRTY-FIFTH BIENNIAL MEETING of the American Pomological Society:
“Golden Winesap: Fruit Grower 1916, p. 221. Originated in the orchard of Mr. C. E. Bennett, Ogden, Utah, from seeds of Winesap. Fruit medium to large, round to roundish oblong, yellow with red blush; flesh firm, crisp, juicy, appetizing flavor. Bears marked resemblance to Winter Banana but is superior in quality and freedom from bruise discoloration and storage scald. Exceptionally late keeper.”

Excerpt from the The Agricultural Digest:
"The Fruit Grower (St. Joseph, Mo.) announces- a valuable new apple of large size, magnificent appearance, fine flavor, good texture and unsurpassed keeping qualities. This variety was originated by C. E. Bennett, Ogden, Utah, a horticulturist and former nurseryman. The apple, as stated by Mr. Bennett, came from a seedling of the old standard Winesap. Seeds of this stock had been planted for propagation purposes and from the seedling were allowed to bear fruit. This particular tree made such a remarkable showing that Mr. Bennett felt that he had originated a variety of unusual merit. The apples were of a beautiful golden yellow with a heavy red splash on one side, resembling in appearance Winter Banana, but being much better in quality. In the opinion of The Fruit Grower it may eventually prove more popular than Delicious."
