BULLETIN 485, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



Note. — The part of this bulletin which treats of the important 

 centers or areas of apple production and the varieties principally 

 grown in them, from the nature of the case, must be more or less 

 incomplete. Reference to areas of coiioiderable commercial impor- 

 tance may have been omitted in some instances where conditions are 

 such as to merit mention in the present connection. Where this has 

 occurred it has been due to a lack of definite information concerning 

 the importance of the areas. It is also likely that differences of 

 opinion and experience will appear in regard to sonv of the lists of 

 varieties named for the different districts. 



In order that the information coming within the scope of this 

 bulletin may be completed and made as valuable as is possible to the 

 apple industry, the writers will appreciate any constructive sugges- 

 tions that may be offered by fruit growers and others familiar with 

 the conditions of apple production in different parts of the country.
