CHAPTER XIX 

 VARIETIES OF APPLES 



Less than 200 varieties of apples can be obtained from Ameri- 

 can nurserymen and the tendency is to cut down lists. Probably 

 more than 2500 varieties are mentioned in American literature, 

 and twice as many more have appeared in European pomologies. 

 In this text, only standard sorts to the number of 114 are listed. 

 The varieties chosen for description here are those which stu- 

 dents in systematic pomology are likely to find in modern 

 orchards the country over.
