BETTER FRUIT 



Page 15 



Unprofitable Varieties of Fruit 



Following is the report of the com- 

 mittee on elimination of unprofitable 

 varieties, as adopted by the Pacific Coast 

 Association of Nurserymen, at their six- 

 teenth annual convention, held at Port- 

 land, Oregon, July 10 to 12, 1918: 



The task assigned to this committee 

 is of such magnitude that we can only 

 hope to make a beginning at this time. 

 After careful thought and discussion we 

 recommend that the following list of 

 names of fruit trees be dropped from 

 our catalogs and budding lists, and their 

 sale discontinued. Nurserymen who 

 have been making specialties of certain 

 varieties may choose to push such, but 

 unless it is one of merit and demand we 

 would discourage such action.

In this connection we wish to call 

 attention to the recommendation of the 

 American Pomological Society with re- 

 spect to the nomenclature of our cala- 

 logs, to the end that superfluous por- 

 tions of names be dropped in cataloging 

 them, and that synonyms be used only 

 where they have come into such general 

 use in certain localities that the proper 

 names are almost unknown, so that it 

 would be confusing to use them.

 man; C. D. Hobbs, secretary; M. R.
