UTAH. 



Distribution. — Commercial apple growing in Utah is confined prin- 

 cipally to three irrigated valleys in northern portions of the State. 

 In the northeastern part, in the Cache Valley, along the western slope 

 of the Wasatch Mountains, many apples are grown ; also in the valleys 

 lying north of Great Salt Lake, in the eastern portion of Box Elder 

 County. A third valley is in Davis County, between Great Salt Lake 

 and the western slope of the Wasatch Mountains. This valley is 

 practically a continuation of the Cache Valley. In some of the small 

 irrigated valleys in other sections of Utah minor apple interests have 

 been developed, but they are not of special importance commercially. 



Varieties. — The varieties grown principally are Ben Davis, Gano, 

 Jonathan, Rome Beauty, and Winesap. In some sections the Ben 

 Davis and Gano (or Black Ben) are now much less prominent than 

 they were formerly. 



NEVADA. 



Distribution. — A few apples are grown in some sections of Nevada 

 for home use, but there is no commercial apple industry in this State 

 at the present time.
