Apples (Waite and FairchUd). 



Varieties more or less self-sterile. — Bellfleur, Chenango 

 (Strawberry), Gravenstein, King, Northern Spy, Norton 

 Melon, Primate, Rambo, Red Astrachan, Roxbury Russet, 

 Spitzenburgh, Talman Sweet. 



Varieties mostly self-fertile. — Baldwin, Codlin, Greening. 



"The varieties of apples are more inclined to be sterile to their 

 own pollen than the pears. With the former, in the great majority 

 of cases, no fruit resulted from self-pollination. The results as a 

 rule, however, were less clear-cut than in the pear, because, with 

 most of the self-sterile varieties, an occasional fruit will set under 

 self-pollination, and none of the varieties were very completely self- 

 fertile." —Waite. 



Other Fruits. 



" The quince seems to fruit nearly as well with its own pollen as 

 with that of another variety." — Waite. 



Many of the native plums are notoriously self -sterile, par- 

 ticularly Wild Goose. Other self-sterile varieties are Miner, 

 Wazata, Minnetonka, Itaska. Varieties more or less self- 

 fertile are Moreman, Newman, Wayland, Golden Beauty, 

 Marianna, Deep Creek, Purple Yosemite. 



Strawberries often lack stamens altogether, whilst others, 

 like Crescent, have so few and so poor stamens that they are 

 practically self-sterile. Ordinarily, there should be a row of a 

 perfect-flowered variety for every two rows of a pistillate or 

 infertile variety. 



Grapes {Beach). 



Unfruitful when planted by themselves. — Black Eagle, 

 Brighton, Eumelan, Massasoit, Wilder, Rogers' No. 5, Gaert- 

 ner, Merrimac, Requa, Aminia, Essex, Barry, Herbert, Salem. 



Able to set finiit of themselves.— Concord, Diamond, Niagara, 

 Winchell or Green Mountain, Rogers' Nos. 13, 24, and 32, Aga- 

 wam, Delaware.
