SUMMER VARIETIES. 



The exceptionally early season for ripening of all fruits in parts of 

 ('alifornia opens up the possibility of growing summer varieties of 

 apples that will reach the markets earlier than those from any other 

 of our apple growing states. With San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacra- 

 mento and other large cities at hand, there should be a good local 

 demand. For a great many years the Sacramento Valley river bottom 

 below Sacramento has grown Red Astrachans and other summer varie- 

 ties to good advantage. The severe attack of the codling moth has 

 probably done more toward discouraging growers than anything else. 

 As this pest is entirely under the control of those who take the necessary 

 pains to fight it in the proper way as discussed in the chapter on 

 "Insect Pests of the Apple" there is no good reason why it should 

 put any one out of business. With proper attention to pruning, spray- 

 in <r and cutting out blight, along with the proper handling of the soil, 

 much irreater returns should be realized than those of the average 

 <jTower at present. 



The following list of varieties is printed in the order of their ripening. 

 They are all good, each one having some special characteristics to com- 

 mend it : 



Early Harvest Yellow Transparent 



Oldenburg Red Astrachan 



Red June Chenango
