EVALUATION OF SCI.IE OF THE NE?ffiR VARIETIES OF APPLES IN COMPARISON WITH I.£CINTOSH 



The accompanying chart gives evaluation of a few varieties of apples v;hich 

 have been rather widely tested by Massachusetts growers in recent years. It 

 represents the collective opinion of a panel of eight persons and the audience 

 which discussed it at the recent annual meeting of the M.F.G.A. 



The folloTfing points sht^uld be kept in mind for a better understanding of the 

 chart: (l) Years to start bearing is interpreted as the age at which a tree will 

 bear one to two bushels of fruit. (2) All items, except the first two, are evalua- 

 ted on a scale of five, 1 is the most desirable and 5 the least desirable degree.
