go after a higher grade of apple. Being excellent bearers, a good many 

 get even as much or more out of their Baldwins than other varieties, 

 even though they sell for less. They are a good winter apple, but I 

 would rather run to a higher grade of apples. In New York State I 

 know of some parties that had Baldwins, and parties came to buy and 

 they did not care for their Baldwins, but their twenty-ounce Pippins 

 were what they liked and the whole lot was sold on this account. 



A Member — What do you say about the Greening? 



Mr. Smith — They are all right and always yield well and sell well. 



A Member — How about the Wine Sap? 



Mr. Smith — That is not a Michigan apple. 



A Member — How about the Yellow Transparent? 



Mr. Smith — Yellow Transparent is a pretty early apple. I would 

 rather have a Wealthy or Duchess or Alexander than the Yellow Trans- 

 parent. 



A Member — What do you think of the Wealthy? 



Mr. Smith — It is a splendid apple. It is an early fall or winter ap- 

 ple. They will keep until after the first of the year. They grow large 

 and bear early and we consider them a well-colored apple and they 

 ship well. 



A Member — What about Sutton's Beauty? 



Mr. Smith — We have handled some of them, but they have not been 

 such a popular apple. 



A Member — What about the Chenango ? 



Mr. Smith — For a table apple it is a dandy. They are, however, rather 

 tender and must not be put in storage. They are short keepers. 



A Member — What about the Wagoner apple? 



Mr. Smith — It is a splendid apple. 



A Member — Would you plant many of them? 



Mr. Smith — I should not. The tree is quite long lived and a fairly 

 good bearer, but turn brown and are not as desirable in this respect 

 as some other varieties. 



A Member — What about the None Such? 



Mr. Smith — It is a good apple. 



A Member — If you planted twenty acres of three varieties, what would 

 you plant? 



Mr. Smith — I would plant Canada Red, Spy, Snow or Mcintosh. And 

 right here I would like to say that you should not call them Canada 

 Red, when you mean Steele's Red; for these two apples are different. 

 The Canada Red will turn brown and has nothing like the same flavor 

 as the Steele's Red.
