ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PRACTICAL HORTICULTURE 



Baker and Wallowa counties the follow- 

 ing varieties are found to do best: 



Apples: Yellow Transparent. Graven- 

 stein. King, Jonathan, Rome Beauty, 

 York Imperial. Gano, Ben Davis and 

 Hyde-King. 



Pears: Bartlott. Clapp's Favorite and 

 Anjou. 



Cherries: Sweet — Lambert and Bing. 

 Sour — Early Richmond and Olivet. 



Prunes and Plums: Italian and Hun- 

 garian. 



Peaches: Any of the early varieties, 

 such as Early Crawford. Hale's Early, 

 Alexander, etc. 



Grapes: Worden, Concord, Niagara 

 and Brighton. 



Strawberries: Clark's Seedling, Sharp- 

 less and Magoon. 



Currants: Fay, White Grape. 



Gooseberries: Red Jacket, Industry 

 and Champion. 



The higher elevations of Eastern Ore- 

 gon counties suffer more or less from the 

 severity of the winter and drouth in 

 summer. For these counties: 



Apples: The Russian varieties will be 

 hardiest. These varieties in low alti- 

 tudes are summer and fall varieties, but 

 often in the high altitudes they are long 

 keepers. Red Astrachan, Gravenstein, 

 Duchess of Oldenburg, Wolf River, Wag- 

 ener and Mackintosh Red are the best 

 and most satisfactory varieties to plant. 

 Occasionally nearly any of the standard 

 varieties grow sufficiently well for fam- 

 ily use. Varieties of some promise in 

 such sections are also Rome Beauty, 

 White Winter Pearmain, Delicious and 

 Gano. 



Pears: White Doyenne, Seckel, Clapp's 

 Favorite. 



Peaches: As a rule they should not 

 be grown. Occasionally such varieties 

 as Alexander and Amsden June do very 

 well. The Gibbs apricot is often suc- 

 cessful. 



Cherries: Sweet — Lambert and Bing. 

 Sour — Early Richmond and Olivet. 



Raspberries: Cuthbert and Turner's 

 Red. 



Blackberries: Any of the standard 



varieties, such as Kitatiny. Lawton and 

 Eldorado. 



Gooseberries: Red Jacket and Cham- 

 pion. 



Strawberries: Clark's Seedling, War- 

 field and Bederwood. 



In the districts of Central Oregon, like 

 Goose Lake and Sumer Lake, probably 

 any of the commercial varieties can be 

 planted successfully. Last year a great 

 many leading varieties of apples were 

 found growing to a high degree of per- 

 fection, splendid in color and form, and 

 with indications of long keeping. Such 

 varieties as Spitzenburg, Winter Banana 

 and Winesap were very promising. With 

 the conditions that prevail in those re- 

 gions it is probable that there is a long 

 list of varieties that could be grown com- 

 mercially. 



Varieties for Hood Klver Valley 



The leading varieties of apples in the 

 Hood river valley are the Yellow New- 

 town, Spitzenburg, Ortley, Jonathan, Red 

 Cheek, Arkansas Black. 



For pears: Anjou is the leading va- 

 riety and seems to grow well. Other 

 varieties worth trying would be Bartlett, 

 Patrick Barry, Hawell and Glout Mor- 

 ceau. 



The varieties at Mosier are similar to 

 those at Hood River. Very few other 

 fruits are grown in these districts ex- 

 cept for home use. 



For raspberries: Cuthbert; and for 

 strawberries, Clark's Seedling. 



In the upper Hood River valley variety 

 adaptation is still in an experimental 

 stage. The Winter Banana seems to do 

 well, and it may be that the Delicious 

 will be good for that district, also Gano, 

 Jonathan, etc. 



In the vicinity of The Dalles we find 

 a district especially adapted for peaches, 

 prunes, cherries and grapes. The district 

 above The Dalles is being cultivated to 

 apples, varieties of whicli are given in 

 another list. 



For peaches the principal ones are 

 Early Crawford, Late Crawford, Salway, 

 Elberta, Muir, Orange and Lemon Cling, 

 although many other varieties would do 

 well.
