Apples and Crab Apples. 



The varieties of apples and crab apples thus far received for test- 

 ing at this Station, with few exceptions, have been top-worked on 

 young bearing trees of Baldwin or Rhode Island Greening. In a 

 few cases they were woi-ked on some other variety. In several 

 instances root grafted or budded trees of the variety to be tested 

 were planted. Many old varieties have been admitted to the orch- 

 ard for the sake of comparison with new or little known sorts. 



Grafting into the orchard varieties which were received for test- 

 ing was commenced in 1883, and additions have been made in suc- 

 ceeding years till at present there are four hundred and twenty- 

 seven kinds of apples and thirty kinds of crab apples growing at 

 the Station, a total of four hundred and fifty-seven kinds. 



Many of the kinds first introduced are now bearing from a few 

 fruits to five or six bushels or more per tree. Two hundred and ten 

 kinds of apples and twenty-three kinds of crab apples fruited here 

 in 1895, making the total number fruited that year two hundred 

 and thirty-two. IS'otes on a few of these varieties are given below,
