WEST SErARATELY 



The same varieties of currants and gooseberries are suggested as for district 7. 

 On account of limited precipitation, raspberries, blackberries and strawberries 

 are not likley to be very satisfactory in district 8, west, except under irriga- 

 tion. If water can be applied, and perhaps winter proection given, the same 

 varieties as those suggested for district 7 may prove of some value. Conditions 

 are similar wnth reference to grapes. No varieties can be recommended for 

 this section with confidence of success, but where irrigation and winter protec- 

 tion can be given the following may be worth trying: White — Diamond, Lady, 

 Martha, Niagara; red — Agawam, Catawba, Delaware, Vergennes; black — Con- 

 cord, Hartford, Isabella, Worden. 



District 9 



Apples. — Oldenburg (Duchess), Patten, Okabena, Hibernal. 



Pears. — Planting not advised. 



Peaches. — Planting not advised. 



Plums. — The list for district 8 contains the varieties of most importance for 

 district 9, The sand cherry-plum hybrids are also of value in many sections of 

 district 9. 



Cherries. — The varieties named for other districts are not likely to be hard}', 

 as a rule, in this district. Sand cherries, however, are of value for jellies, etc. 

 Buffalo berries and other native wild fruits are also used for jelly-making. 



Currants. — Perfection (red), London (red), White Imperial. 



Gooseberries. — Downing, Carrie. 



Strawberries. — With winter protection: Dunlap, AVarficld (imp.). Progressive. 



Pespberries, blackberries, and deivberries. — Planting not advised. 



Grapes. — The conditions are not well adapted to grape growing, and only the 

 very hardy sorts are likely to succeed even in the more favorable locations. 

 The ones suggested for trial are Alaska, Beta No. 1, Beta No. 2, Beta No. 3, 

 Bicolor, Dakota, and Janesville.
