The cry of "over-production" of fruits 

 need strike terror to none except tiiose 

 growing poor grades: for tlie world's best 

 things are never over-done. 



Further, whoever puts a poor grade or 

 a poor qualit}' of fruits on the markets 

 is just insofar as his product is capable 

 of influencing the markets, destroying 

 the demand for fruits. For instance, 

 whoever eats a Spitzenburg. Yellow New- 

 town or Delicious, in the proper season 

 of the ripening of these varieties, will 

 want more apples. Whoever eats a Ben 

 Davis or Missouri Pippin will feel less 

 desire for fruit, for these varieties do 

 not so strongly appeal to the average 

 taste. The Arkansas Black is for beauty 

 the best apple we grow, but for taste it 

 is inferior to several other varieties, and 

 is almost alwaj-s sold before its proper 

 period of ripening. 



The figures of profits above given are 

 based upon the growing of the best vari- 

 eties and average market conditions.

Seconiniendations by State Experiment 

 Station 



The following is the list of fruits rec- 

 ommended by the horticulturist of the 



state agricultural experiment station at 

 Pullman for planting in that part of the 

 state lying east of the Cascade mountains. 

 In cases where the varieties to be recom- 

 mended for planting in the irrigated val- 

 leys are different from those best adapted 

 to the non-irrigated uplands, this is indi- 

 cated. The letters (E), (M) and (L) 

 indicate that the varieties ripen early, mid- 

 season, or late, respectively. The lists 

 do not include all varieties that might 

 be planted, but are those which experi- 

 ments and actual orchard practice have 

 shown to be desirable for general plant- 

 ing. The varieties are arranged alpha- 

 betically in each case: 



Apples — (For the irrigated valleys), 

 Delicious (L), Duchess (M), Gravenstein 

 (M), Grimes Golden (L), Jonathan (L), 

 King (M), Rome Beauty (L), Spitzen- 

 bui'g (L), White Winter Pearmain (L1, 

 Winesap (L). Winter Banana (L), Yel- 

 low Newtown (L), Yellow Transparent 

 (E): (for upland orchards), Delicious 

 (L), Duchess (M), Gano (L), Graven- 

 stein (M), Jonathan (L), King (M),
