New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. Aw 
made, and most of the late fall and early winter apples. But 
some winter apples are also comparatively sensitive to heat, as 
Rhode Island Greenings and Northern Spy. In the case of some 
varieties heat induces scald or sweat spot.

NOTES ON VARIETIES. 
In preparing these notes on varieties the plan has been to give 
in one paragraph the results of the tests of the keeping quality 
of apples in the natural temperature storage at this Station made 
in the seasons of 1895-6 to 1898-9, inclusive; in the next para- 
graph are the results of the tests of the keeping qualities of 
varieties grown at this Station, made in a cold storage warehouse 
in Buffalo by the Unites States Department of Agriculture; and 
in the last paragraph is a summary of the experience of cold 
storage men with the respective varieties. In some cases a gen- 
eral estimate of the variety for storage purposes is made in a 
preliminary paragraph. 
Referring to results obtained at this Station, the term “Com- 
mercial limit,” means, unless otherwise specified, the time to 
which dealers may safely hold a given variety in natural tem- 
perature warehouses under conditions similar to those which 
obtained in these tests. Referring to results of tests in cold 
storage, the term means similarly the time to which the variety 
may be held in such storage.
