Fruit Varieties for Western Washington 



7?// J. L. Stahl 



Horticulturist 'Western Washington Exferiment Station 



IN CHOOSING varieties of fruit for 

 planting, there are several important con- 

 sideration?, such as obiect and size of the 

 plantation, location and market, beside? the 

 personal choice of the grower. 



If a few tree? onlv are planted on a city 

 lot or small area, dwarf type? are dcsirab'e. 

 Thev can be planted close, will come in 

 bearing \oung, are easily pruned, ?prayei 

 and the fruit harve?ted. Dwarf? are too 

 expensive planted on a large area, as it 

 requires several time? the number of trees 

 to set an acre as are needed for standards, 

 and the cost per tree is a? great. Where 

 a choice of location is possible, it is usually 

 best to plant fruit tree? and grapes on up- 

 lands or hillsides rather than on lowland=. 

 Berries can be grown successfully either 

 on uplands or on well-drained valley land? 

 where soil and frost conditions permit. 



Personal choice should govern the varie- 

 ties set for home use only. Fruits and 

 varieties recommended below for general 

 planting, are of good quality, are adapted 

 to most localities in western Washington, 

 and are in demand for market. Types and 

 varieties recommended for tri il m.iv be 

 desirable in many localities, but as yet have 

 not been extensively planted. Grapes are 

 proving very profitable in some localities 

 and should be tried at least in a small wav 

 wherever possible to do so. 



Fruit? particularly in demand by canners 

 in the following list are marked "(can- 

 nery)."
