A commercial orchard should contain not more than two or 

 three varieties at the most, but there is no great objection to plant- 

 ing a large number of varieties in the home orchard. 



APRICOTS. 



Apricots seem to be less reliable in this region than peaches and 

 should not be planted extensively. If it is decided to plant some 

 apricots, selection should be made from the late-blooming varieties. 

 Standard varieties are Moorpark. Royal, Blenheim, Hemskirke, and 

 Peach. 



CHERRIES. 



Sweet cherries have usually been unsatisfactory in the inter- 

 mountain climate and therefore should not be planted extensively 

 on the Truckee-Carson Project until a greater knowledge has been 

 obtained as to their reliability. The common sour and Duke varieties 

 are the most promising. Some of these varieties are Richmond, 

 Morello, Montmorency (Montmorency Ordinaire) , and May Duke. 



Some growers will desire to try some of the sweet varieties, even 

 though they are not so likely to succeed as the ones mentioned. In 

 such a case the following are suggested as desirable varieties for 

 trial: Tartarian (Blank Tartarian), Napoleon (Royal Ann), Bing, 

 Wood, Lambert, and Elton. 



PEARS. 



The Bartlett is a great favorite and is of excellent quality, but is 

 more subject to blight than some of the other varieties. The Kieffer 

 is a desirable variety and is somewhat more resistant to blight than 

 the Bartlett, but the quality is not so good. Varieties suggested are 

 Bartlett, Clairgeau, Clapp Favorite, Flemish (Flemish Beauty), 

 Kieffer, Seckel, and Winter Nelis.
