PRINCIPAL APPLE VARIETIES. 



41 



varieties, of which the following 20, listed alphabetically, are given 

 prominence in the bulletin already cited, because of their relative im- 

 portance in the apple industry of the State : 



Arkansas (Mammoth Black Twig). — Grown only to a limited extent, but 

 has some very desirable characteristics. 



Arkansas Black. — Rather popular in some parts of southern California. 



Baldwin. — Does quite well in a few favored localities in the mountains. 

 Quite a large acreage has been planted in Sonoma County. 



Banana (Winter Banana). — Usually does best at rather high altitudes, 

 though excellent specimens have been grown in Santa Cruz County. 



Black Ben. — This variety, or Gano, is suggested for planting instead of Ben 

 Davis, which at present constitutes nearly 4 per cent of the entire crop of the 

 State.

Fig. 14. — Outline map of the United States, showing the distribution by States of that 

 portion of the estimated average apple crop for the years 1909 to 1913, inclusive, which 

 is harvested in August. Each dot represents 30,000 bushels. The arrangement of the 

 .dots within the State boundaries has no significance. 



Delicious. — Not yet fully tested, but considered promising in certain parts 

 of the foothills and mountainous sections of southern California. 



Esopus. — Not generally grown, but recommended by some for a few localities. 



Gravenstein. — Does well in many parts of the State, but is of special im- 

 portance in the Sebastopol section. 



Grimes. — Occurs only occasionally, but as a rule it gives good results wherever 

 grown. 



Jonathan. — Not generally grown, but reported to do well in places in River- 

 side, San Bernardino, San Diego, El Dorado, Mendocino, and Humboldt Counties. 



King David. — Not fully tested, but considerably planted in some of the 

 younger orchards in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
