MARKETS AND MARKETING 



own special favorites. As will readily be seen, 

 the producer's problem Is to find the special 

 market for what he grows. 



It has been said that different markets have 

 special varietal preferences, paying a better 

 price for these than do other markets for the 

 same quality. We can only take the space here 

 to point out a few of these preferences. The 

 Baldwin Is by all odds our best general market 

 and export variety. It Is the worklngman's 

 apple and finds Its best sale In our largest cities, 

 particularly In New York and Chicago. The 

 Rhode Island Greening Is a better seller In the 

 northern markets than It Is In the southern, 

 finding Its best sale In Boston and In New York. 

 The Northern Spy Is highly regarded by all our 

 large northern and eastern markets, Is fairly 

 well liked by the middle latitude markets, but 

 not popular south of Baltimore and Pittsburgh 

 or west of Milwaukee. 



Central western markets appear to prefer 

 the Hubbardson, but this apple Is fairly good 

 In all markets. King Is well thought of nearly 

 everywhere. Ben Davis Is a favorite In the 

 South, New Orleans especially preferring It on 

 account of Its keeping quality. Jonathan has a 

 good reputation everywhere. Dutchess of
