APPENDIX. 



BY PROFESSOR J. L. BUDD. 



1TMHE following list of apples is by Professor J. L, Budd, of 

 I^SK, the Iowa Agricultural College, whose efforts in connection 

 with the introduction of hardy fruits for the Northwestern 

 States have given him a national reputation. This list comprises 

 the varieties which he considers the hardiest and best adapted to 

 the extreme north. Many of these kinds cannot be obtained of the 

 general nurserymen, but the list is of great value in showing the 

 direction which progressive horticulture is taking in the extreme 

 north and as a guide for future planting. It is especially valuable 

 for parties living in sections corresponding to Northern Iowa, and 

 perhaps Southern Minnesota.

SUMMER VARIETIES. 



BLUSHED CALVILLE. (22 M.) This at the West will prove 

 more valuable than Yellow Transparent. The tree is much har- 

 dier, more nearly free from blight, and the fruit is about as early, 

 as large in size, is handsomely blushed, and it is less perishable 

 and better in quality. 



BKESKOVKA. (152 M.) Some later than the above and a very 

 regular and full bearer. Fruit in size, color and shape much like 

 Grimes Golden. Quality best for kitchen use and very good for 

 dessert. 



PLODOVITKA. Very early and profitable at the North. 



ANISETTE. (No. 185.) Of the Duchess family and hardier at 

 the North. An annual and full bearer of fruit like Duchess, but 

 finer in grain, less acid and earlier. Will prove valuable over a 

 large part of the United States. 



REVEL PEAB. (No. 379.) A heavy bearer of fair sized hand- 

 some fruit for home use or market. 



BOROVINKA. (No. 245.) Of the Duchess family. Fruit almost 

 identical with Duchess, but a better keeper.
