There is a variety in our orchards called the winesap, a doubly liquid name that suggests what might be done with this fruit The apple is the commonest and yet the most varied and beautiful of fruits.— Winter Sunshine
Apples - old-fashioned ones like winesap and rome beauty and the little mealy green one called a June apple.— Sherry Chandler
And the winesap blushed its reddest— Riley Child-Rhymes
"I wonder if the orchard is still back of the house," he thought, "and the winesap tree I fell out of.— Mary Minds Her Business
The pome fruits, like the preserving sparrow apples, quinces and the varieties of apples known as Scantian, and 'little rounds' (_orbiculata_) and those which formerly were called winesap (_mustea_), and now are called honey apples (_melimela_), can all be kept safely in a cold and dry place when laid on straw, and so those who build fruit houses take care to have the windows give upon the north wind and that it may blow through them: but they should not be left without shutters for fear that the fruits should lose their moisture and become shrivelled by the effect of the continuous wind The vaults, the walls and the pavements of these fruiteries are usually laid in stucco to keep them cool: thus rendering them such pleasant resorts that some men even spread there their dining couches: as well they may, for if the pursuit of luxury impels some of us to turn our dining rooms into picture galleries in order to regale even our eyes with works of art [while we eat], should we not find still greater gratification in contemplating the works of nature displayed in a savory array of beautiful fruits, especially if this was not procured, as has been done, by setting up in your fruitery on the occasion of a party a supply of fruit purchased for the purpose in town Some think best to dispose their apples in the fruitery on concrete tables, others on beds of straw, and some even on flocks of wool Pomegranates are preserved by sticking their twigs in jars of sand, quinces and sparrow apples are strung together and hung up, but the late maturing Anician pears are best preserved in boiled must.— Roman Farm Management The Treatises of Cato and Varro
