MARITIME PROVINCES 

 Varieties for N.B. 



AT a meeting of the executive commit- 

 tee of the New Brunswick Fruit 

 Growers' Association, held last De- 

 cember, it was considered advisable to 

 urge the necessity of limiting the plantings 

 o£ apples to not .more than five or six com- 

 mercial varieties, namely, those that have 

 proved to be o£ the best general value. 



For the St. John River Valley the execu- 

 tive recommends the following: Duchess or 

 Dudley (either one for an early fall apple), 

 Wealthy, Alexander, Fameuse, Mcintosh 

 and Bethel. Plant more Mcintosh than the 

 other varieties. 



For the extreme lower end of the St. 

 John Valley, that is, in the Long Reach 

 section and in the Kennebecasis, it was 

 felt that perhaps one or two other varieties 

 might be used in preference to Fameuse 

 and Mcintosh. 



It must be pointed out that this list is 

 of course for commercial or shipping varie- 

 ties and does not include varieties that 

 are doing well in the St. John Valley and 

 which, although all right for local markets, 

 are not really suitable for outside markets; 

 for example, such varieties as Yellow 

 Traftsparent, Crimson Beauty, Red Astra- 

 chan, and Bishop Pippin, but the plantings 

 ot these should be very limited. 



It was the unanimous opinion of the 

 executive that as far as the St. John Valley 

 was concerned the planting of such varie- 

 ties as Baxter, Wolf River, Stark, Milwau- 

 kee, Ribston Pippin, Bishop Pippin, Grav- 

 enstein, Canada Baldwin and Ben Davis, 

 should be strongly discouraged, with the 

 exception that possibly the Bishop Pippin 

 might be used to advantage in the Long 

 Reach district. 



For the section around Moncton and 

 Shediac, including the Petitcodiac Valley, 

 Welling Bros., Shediac Cape, offer the fol- 

 lowing suggestions: "We think it advisable 

 to encourage the limiting of varieties of 

 apples especially for commercial trade. As 

 far as our selection goes for this district 

 for commercial purposes, we would choose 

 the same varieties which the executive 

 recommends for the St. John Valley. All 

 grow well here with the exception of Fam- 

 euse and Mcintosh, which usually scab 

 freely, but probably this can be overcome 

 by spraying." 



Possibilities of Bethel. 



At the convention of the N.B.F.G.A., In 

 February, Secretary Turney said: "What 

 is needed to complete a list of first-class 

 commercial varieties for New Bruns^Yick is 

 a real winter apple — a red variety of good 

 quality, attractive appearance and a good 

 shipper; the fruit to keep in good condition 

 until the end of March, and the tree to be 

 a vigorous grower, thoroughly hardy and 

 an annual bearer. 



"The only variety that we have at the 

 present time that comes close to these re- 

 quirements. Is the Bethel. Its record so 

 far shows that it is very hardy and the 

 tree is vigorous, well-shaped, strong-limbed, 

 in fact, as sturdy as an oak, and grows to 

 a large size. The fruit is well colored, very 

 attractive in appearance, of more than or- 

 dinary size, of good uniform shape, and 

 ships well. The two points of doubt that 

 have been raised concerning this variety 

 are its quality and bearing record. That 

 standard work, "The Apples of New York," 

 has this to say of the Bethel. 



" 'This shows its kinship to the Blue 

 Pearmain in the quality, texture, form, con-
