APPLE STUDIES. 



The work of this Station with the apple covers many years 

 and includes studies upon varieties, cultivation, propagation, 

 cover crops, fertilization, polination, winter injury and other 

 physiological disturbances, fungous and bacterial troubles, insect 

 enemies, protection by spraying, spray injury, and many allied 

 problems. In the limits of this circular only the more important 

 of these studies can be touched upon. 



* Since the establishment of the Maine Agricultural Experiment Sta- 

 tion in 1888 it has published many thousands of pages reporting its inves- 

 tigations. The Station Council instructed the Director of the Station 

 to prepare and publish from time to time brief summaries of the results 

 obtained. The work will be reported by kind rather than b}^ departments 

 of investigation. The iirst paper of this series has to do with apple 

 studies.
