DISTRIBUTION OF STATION APPLES.* 



U. P. HEDRICK. 



The New York Agricultural Experiment Station has twelve new 

 varieties of apples for distribution in 1914. These varieties are the 

 outcome of experimental work in plant breeding. They have been 

 grown and compared with practically all of the standard sorts of 

 their kind and are equal to or superior in one or more respects to 

 apples of their season, as grown on the Station grounds. The 

 distribution of these varieties is undertaken that we may ascertain 

 their value and adaptability in the different fruit regions of New 

 York. A fuller description of most of the varieties listed has been 

 published in Bulletin No. 350 from this Station. 



TERMS OF DISTRIBUTION. 



There are no restrictions upon recipients of plants as to further 

 distribution of the varieties by sale or otherwise. If the fruits 

 prove meritorious, it is desired that they be generally disseminated 

 as quickly as possible. We only ask that those who receive the 

 plants report to the Station in regard to the behavior of the varieties 

 on blanks which will be furnished when the plants come in bearing. 



The trees are sent without charge but the recipient must pay 

 expressage. Applicants must give both mail and express addresses. 



The Station reserves the right to make a choice of growers to 

 whom the trees will be sent. This choice will depend chiefly upon 

 priority of application and upon the number of applicants from 

 a locality. 



Only one tree of a variety can be sent to an applicant, but it is 

 desired that a person receiving any should receive all of the varie- 

 ties, that a comparative test may be made of them. 



The trees have been fumigated and the tops have been dipped 

 in an insecticide but the Station does not guarantee them to be 

 free from San Jose scale. 



Address all correspondence regarding these new fruits to the 

 Horticultural Department, New York Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, Geneva, N. Y.
