FEVIT LISTS AND FOREST TREES FOR KANSAS. 185 



ties, that have found their way to the Topeka, Kansas City and other 

 markets, in the eastern portion of the State. 



GRAPES. 



General List. — Concord, Ives Seeding. The varieties succeed well in 

 all parts of the State. The Concord is the grape for the million. The Ives 

 has the merit of ripening about ten days earlier than the Concord, and 

 therefore lengthens the season. This, however, can be accomplished with 

 the Concord alone, by planting upon different exposures. A southern or 

 eastern exposure will ripen the fruit from eight to twelve days earilier than 

 a northern or western. 



Additional List. — Delaware, Martha, Catawba, Goethe, Allen's Hj^brid, 

 Draeut Amber. Those mentioned in this list (and many other varieties 

 might be named) succeed well in some loealities, but are not reliable 

 throughout the State for general culture. 



OTHER SMALL PRITITS. 



Currants. — Large Eed Dutch, White Dutch, White Grape, Cherry. Cur- 

 rants do well in Kansas if properly shaded and thoroughly mulched. The 

 north side of an east-and-west fence is a good place. 



Gooseberries — Houghton's Seedling, American Seedling. 



Blackberries. — Kittatiny. 



Raspberries. — Doolittle's, Miami. 



Strawberries. — Wilson's Albany.

The following list of twelve varieties of apples best adapted to Kansas 

 was prepared, by request, by W. E. Barnes, a nurseryman of ripe experi- 

 ence, of Yinland, Douglas county. Mr. B. places Jonathan in the fall list. 

 Northern varieties ripen earlier here, and it is hard sometimes to make a 

 distinction between late fall and early winter varieties : ' 



Summer. — Eed June, Cooper's Early White, Lowell. 



Fall. — Maiden's Blush, Jonathan, Pennsylvania Eed Streak.
