256 Report of the Horticulturist op the 



Yield of Apples and Crab Apples in 1895.— The following 

 tabulated statement of the yield of apples and crab apples in Station 

 orchard No. 2, in 1895, permits of a comparison of the yield for this 

 year with the yield in former years as given in previous annual 

 reports. It also permits of a comparison of the different varieties 

 as to their yield in 1895. The statement shows which of these trees 

 were planted and which were grafted on bearing stock, and gives 

 the orchard age of each. The varieties have not all been planted 

 or grafted the same length of time and some have been bearing for 

 several years while others are just beginning to bear. For this 

 reason the orchard age is given so that a more correct comparison 

 of the varieties may be made, and the yield is not given in bushels 

 but is stated by using the adjectives few, fair, good, large, or very 

 large as the case may be.
