E. I. GREENING 



With a few more seasons ' experience like thai: just past, 

 this variety will be blacklisted I fear, and yet this has been 

 and is a valuable variety. Boston is not a good market for 

 Greening, but New York is, and so if a growoc is \ lantJng 

 this variety he should plant enough to be ro[>: to ^nake a 

 reasonable shipment as 100 barrels, or a carload lot. Green- 

 ing is prized abroad. The good points of Greening are ; good 

 sized fruit, moderate crops annually nafurally low beaded 

 trees (this characteristic existing almost to a fc'Uit). The 

 faults probably stand clear in the m^uls of ail. Early ma- 

 turity and even premature dropi^ing In a dry season, also a 

 tendency to become too yellow. Tho most serious fault has 

 been its proneness to scald both in ordinary and commercial 

 cold storage. We have undoubtedly been too tardy in har- 

 vesting this variety. The Greeniuo: sliouid be planted en 

 lands of the heavier more moist typei. 



WAGENEE 



This variety has first come to general attention as a fill- 

 er variety for which it is most adrnifably adapted. It is 

 not a new variety by any means as it was known before rho 

 year 1800. and was winning prizes in 1S5(), and yet as with 

 Mcintosh it seems strange that so good a variety could have 

 remained in general obscurity so long. 



This apple is flat yellow overspread with rod. Season 

 from King of Tompkins time to January and even February 

 from storage. It ranges from good foi* CMlinary use to ex- 

 cellent for dessert use, and is in many respects a valuable 

 ter sort. Our Massachusetts College of Agriculture is do- 

 ing much to popularize this variety. 



Tree is a weak grower when old and you must expect 

 to practice heavy feeding, cultivation and thinning to make 

 it a good success. 



Pres. You have heard this admirable paper, and Mr. 

 Smith, I know, will be ready to answer any questions. 



Mr. Eace. I would like to ask whether you get good 

 results jn planting the Tolman Sweets 1 



Mr. Smith. I am not a grower of Tolman Sweets, but 

 I know a neighbor of mine in Newburyport, who does get a 

 nice price for them in Boston. There is a decided call for 

 sweet apples in good condition. 



Mr, Eace. I was in Boston recently and I had a little
