SUMMER APPLES IN THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC STATES. 



The dates given in the columns headed "Season begins about" 

 refer to the approximate periods -when the different sorts are fit for 

 use or can be marketed, and not necessarily to the date of full maturity. 

 Where the 15th of a month is stated, it should be broadly interpreted 

 to mean the middle of the month ; likewise the 25th refers to the last 

 of a month rather than to an exact date. A similar interpretation 

 should be given to other dates mentioned. 



Table III. — Use, relative importance, and season of edible maturity of summer-afple 

 varieties suited to growing in the Middle Atlantic States. 



In Table III several varieties are rated as of first importance in 

 either the New Jersey or the Chesapeake peninsula section, but are 

 not mentioned as being grown at all in either of the other sections. 

 The conditions in each section are sufficiently similar to suggest the 

 probability that a variety which can be grown with a high degree of 

 success in any one of them is at least a promising sort for trial in 

 all of the others. The varieties referred to in this connection can be 

 readily determined by reference to the above table.
