ORCHARD NOTES. 8l 



Limbs have a characteristic horizontal growth. Its habits do 

 not correspond with the habits of the Green Crimean as 

 described by Professor Budd. 



Green Sweet — Injured by snow in 1891. Now making a vig- 

 orous spreading growth. Has not yet fruited. 



Lead Apple, (No. 277) — Vigorous, upright, with few stout 

 branches. Twelve to fifteen inches growth. Has not fruited. 



Losovka, (No. 4, Orel) — Vigorous, spreading, with thick 

 leathery foliage. Blossomed in 1896, but no fruit matured. 



Red Queen, (No. 316) — Injured by snow in 1891 and 1892. 

 Now making a very vigorous growth. Resembles Tetofsky in 

 habit. 



Repka A port, (No. 261) — This variety was evidently killed and 

 a sprout from the stalk has been allowed to grow. 



Rolfe — This variety, seven years from the bud, bore one-half 

 bushel the present season and has proved vigorous and hardy 

 from the first. It is in a somewhat protected situation, but 

 promises well for Aroostook county. 



Silken Leaf (75 M) — Vigorous, spreading. Fruited in 1895 

 and also in 1896. Promising. 



Titus — Very vigorous, spreading, with few stout branches and 

 large leathery leaves. Blossomed in 1896 but matured no fruit. 



Vargidek, (12 M) — Broken by snow in 1891; Now making 

 a moderately vigorous, upright growth. First fruited in 1895. 

 The fruit is small, rather showy, but very acid and is not of 

 special value. 



38, Voronesch — Vigorous, upright, spreading, with thick foli- 

 age. Fruited in 1895 and also in 1896. Resembles Duchess, 

 but two or three weeks earlier. 



50, Voronesch — Moderately vigorous, spreading, with long 

 willowy shoots. First fruited in 1896 (one-half dozen speci- 

 mens). 



20 M — A vigorous, upright tree. Bore fruit somewhat simi- 

 lar to Duchess. Evidently wrongly named. 



No. 378 — Vigorous, upright. Injured by snow in 1891 

 and 1892 and has never fruited. 



Trees Placed With Edward Tarr — The most promising varie- 

 ties in Mr. Tarr's collection are the following:
