EXPLANATORY REMARKS.

General Lists. After testing a large number of varieties of fruit
at the various fruit stations, the Advisory Board has decided upon the
following as the most desirable for general planting.

District Lists. ‘The District Lists given by the various experi-
menters show varieties especially adapted to the sections represented by

2

their stations. In this bulletin prominent fruit growers in various dis-
tricts have supplemented the lists previously published, which in some
cases were incomplete. The boundaries given for the various districts
are merely suggestive, as it is impossible to define these definitely, one
merging gradually into the other.

The term Commercial is intended to include the varieties most
desirable for market purposes, and the term Domestic those most desir-
able for home uses, either cooking or dessert.

These lists are given, as far as possible, in the order of ripening.

It is realized that there are many varieties not included in these
lists which may do well under special conditions, yet which are generally
not considered so desirable as those mentioned.

The Advisory Board recognizing the great disadvantage which
faces inexperienced persons who desire to engage in fruit growing for
profit, because of the very large and confusing list of varieties, has
ordered the publication of these select lists of tested varieties which shall
serve as a guide to intending planters. The practice in modern horti-
culture is to reduce the number of varieties of a fruit planted to within
possibly a half-dozen varieties in an orchard. This is to be commended
for the commercial orchard specially, and the following lists should be
used from which to select such varieties.

GENERAL Lists oF THE Most VALUABLE VARIETIES FOR MARKET
APPROVED BY THE BoaRD OF CONTROL.

APPLES.

Summer.

Astrachan: Adapted to all sections except the extreme north.

SPECIAL LISTS OF APPLES.

The Department of Agriculture is frequently asked as to the best
varieties to plant for specific purposes, such as the home markets, the
box apple trade, etc. Some of our growers, in response to inquiries,
state that with few exceptions they would plant the same varieties for all
markets, choosing standard kinds of high quality, such as King, Spy, and
Baldwin for winter use. Others again would specialize, believing that

19

certain markets prefer and pay higher prices for some varieties as
against other kinds which the growers might consider just as valuable.
The following lists are submitted as guides to those who may desire
to follow out such specializing:
