II. THE APPLE ORCHARD. STANDARD VARIETIES. 



The nucleus of the orchard consisted of a number of trees set 

 in nursery rows in 1890, before the work came under the direc- 

 tion of the writer. These trees were removed to a permanent 

 location in the spring of 1891 and several varieties were added 

 to the list. The soil on which this main orchard was set is vari- 

 able, part being a heavy clay loam and part a light sand. Thor- 

 ough cultivation has been given from the first, the land having 

 been used as a vegetable garden. 



The following table represents the present condition of the 

 orchard :
