Apples. — Varietioo more or less self -sterile. — Bellnower, Chenango 

 (Strawberry), Gravenstein, Tompkins King, Northern Spy, Norton 

 Melon, Primate, Rambo, Red Astrachan, Roxbury (Russet), Spitzen- 

 burg, Tolman (Sweet), WiUow Twig, Winesap. ^ 



Varieties mostly self-fertile. — -Baldwin, Ben Davis, CodUn, Falla- 

 water, Rhode Island Greening, Oldenburg, Rail Janet, Red Astrachan,' 

 Smith Cider. 



Plums. — Varieties more or less self-sterile. — Coe Golden Drop, 

 French Prune, ItaUan Prune, Marianna, Miner, Ogon, Peach, 

 Satsuma, Wild Goose and many other native plums. 



Varieties mostly seK-fertUe. — Burbank, Bradshaw, De Soto, 

 Green Gage, Lombard, Robinson, Damsons. 



"The quince seems to fruit nearly as well with its own pollen 

 as with that of another variety." — Waite. 



Grapes (Beach). — Unfruitful (or usually so) when planted by 

 themselves. — -Black Eagle, Brighton, Eumelan, Massasoit, Wilder, 

 Gaertner, Merrimac, Requa, Aminia, Essex, Barry, Herbert, Salem. 



Able to set fruit of themselves. — Concord, Diamond, Niagara, 

 WincheU or Green Mountain, Rogers' Nos. 13, 24, and 32, Agawam, 

 Delaware. 



Some of the self -sterile varieties mentioned have fruited 

 well when planted with pollinizers as follows: Bartlett 

 with Nelis, Flemish, Easter; Kieffer with Le Conte, Garber; 

 Coe Golden Drop with French Prune, Fellenburg; Sat- 

 suma with Abundance, Burbank, Red June; Miner with 

 De Soto, Forest Rose, Wild Goose; Wild Goose with De 

 Soto, Newman, Miner. 



Fletcher finds that self-sterility is the rule in Kieffer and 

 Bartlett pears. For planting with Bartlett, the Anjou, 

 Lawrence, Duchess and Kieffer were good pollinizers, 

 although in some seasons Bartlett and Kieffer do not bloom 

 simultaneously. For planting with Kieffer, the LeConte, 

 Garber, Lawrence, Bartlett, Duchess, Anjou and Clairgeau
