THK APPLES OF NEW YORK 765 



New York State. When well grown it is a beautiful apple, but 

 it is rather sharply flavored. Koine Beauty has done well in 

 certain locations, particularly on the lighter loams, where it 

 takes on good color and is of good size, fair and smooth. Its 

 foliage often suffers injury from scab. The tree is an early and 

 reliable cropper; the fruit has an established reputation in mar- 

 ket, and keeps well, but is inferior in quality to Baldwin. Koine 

 Beauty is a better variety for Long Island, New Jersey, South- 

 ern Ohio, and corresponding regions than it is for general plant- 

 ing in western New York. 



The list from which selections may be made for amateur pur- 

 poses, for home use, and under special conditions for commercial 

 orchard planting, may be enlarged so as to include Yellow Trans- 

 parent, Primate, Early Harvest, Early Joe, Early Strawberry, 

 Red June, and Bough Sweet for summer; Late Strawberry, also 

 known as Autumn or Fall Strawberry, Gravenstein, Chenango 

 Strawberry, Golden or York Pippin for fall ; Esopus Spitzen- 

 burg, Norton Melon, Hyde King, Bailey Sweet, Lady Sweet, 

 Sweet \Vhiesap or Hendrick Sweet, and Jacob Sweet for winter. 



EASTERN NEW YORK

 in the western districts. Other kinds of importance are Hub- 

 bardston, Esopus Spitzenburg, Yellow Newtown Pippin, Green 

 Newtown Pippin, Jonathan, Rome Beauty, Dutchess of Olden- 

 burg, Gravenstein, Maiden Blush, and Ben Davis. Prospective 

 planters in eastern New York would do well to confine their 

 selections principally to three or four kinds selected from the 

 list just given. It is recognized, however, that on account of 

 the advantage of proximity to large markets it may often be 

 profitable to grow a greater variety with approximately more of 

 summer and fall apples in some parts of this region than would 

 be generally advisable in other regions more remote from market 

 or from good transportation facilities. 



The newer varieties mentioned in the western New York list 

 may be put on trial in eastern New York, but the conservative
