RECOMMENDED LIST OF HARDY FRUITS, FLOWERS, AND PLANTS 



INCLUDING SHRUliHERY, SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL 



TREES, EVERGREENS, ETC. 



Report of Committee: 



We, your committee on revision of the recommended list for 

 the fruit districts of Nebraska, wish to submit the following report 

 prefaced by a few words of information. 



A large part of the state, especially the older parts including the 

 eastern and southeastern, can grow many times the number of varie- 

 ties that we have placed in this recommended list. We find that iiun- 

 dreds of varieties of apples can be quite successfully grown in many 

 sections and in considering all these varieties, we have picked out the 

 ones in the following list. 



As a guide to the planter in selecting the varieties of trees for his 

 district we have marked the varieties that should be planted in the 

 largest numbers with two stars (**) and those desired in lesser 

 numbers with one star (*) and those not starred at all should be 

 planted in still lesser numbers. 



Guide in Using Recommended List. 



We have prepared a list of apples for home apple orchard in 

 District N'o. 2 about as we would plant it; and have chosen the varieties 

 according to the starred and unstarred varieties as found in the 

 recommended list for that district.
