Descriptions of Apple Varieties 



By J. K. Shaw 



The identification of fruit varieties before trees leave the nursery is important 

 if disappointments in the orchard are to be avoided. These pictures and de- 

 scriptions, including most of the apples now in common cultivation in America, 

 are intended to help others to recognize these varieties and to serve as a record 

 for future generations.
