Varieties for the local market. Many more varieties in each 

 of the sections mentioned may be used in local-market sales, for 

 consumers can be educated to buy almost any good variety. 



Varieties for the general market. As a rule, it is far better to 

 raise only a few varieties for the general market. A man known 

 for his Spies is much more certain of success in raising only these 

 than in handling many varieties. Many dealers who have an 

 established trade in one or two kinds of apples buy no others. 



Varieties for permanent trees. For permanent trees select vari- 

 eties that are long-lived, hardy, sturdy growers, and of a standard 

 sort. For the northeastern states such varieties as Baldwin, Rhode 

 Island Greening, and Spy are suitable. Farther south Ben Davis, 

 Gano, Grimes, Missouri, and York Imperial are the kinds that 

 will prove satisfactory. In the Middle West the grower may choose 

 Arkansas, Ben Davis, Delicious, Grimes, Jonathan, and others, 

 and in the Far West he may take Akin, Banana, Jonathan, Rome 

 Beauty, Wagener, and Yellow Newtown. 



Fillers. For fillers always select varieties that are known to pro- 

 duce fruit when very young and that are good market sorts. The 

 following list contains many that are desirable but are given only 

 as suggestions. Each locality must work out for itself a list of 

 varieties suitable for this purpose.
