As will be noted from the above table, there is a wide spread in grade 

 percentages among some varieties. Only four varieties have on the average 

 graded 80 per cent, or more of No. 1 apples; seven have graded between 70 and 

 80 per cent.; five between 60 and 70 per cent.; and two have gone below 50 per 

 cent, on No. 1 grade. The effect that grade percentages have on the total returns 

 for the different varieties will be shown in Tables Nos. 6, 7 and 8. 



PRICES. 



Prices during the four years 1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920 varied a great deal, 

 but on the average they were much higher than prices in previous years. The 

 different varieties, however, kept approximately the same relative position in the 

 price scale from season to season during these four years, a fact which indicates 

 their relative popularity on the market. Some varieties, such as Ben Davis, 

 Gano, Canada Baldwin and St. Lawrence, were grown only in limited quantities. 

 Had such varieties been grown in larger quantities, the market price might have 

 been adversely affected because of their comparatively poor quality. 



Table No. 5 contains a list of the twenty-five varieties studied, together with 

 the average net price received by growers for the three grades of each variety 

 during the four-year period, 1917 to 1920.
