FRUITS RECOMMENDED BY THE AMERICAN POMO- 

 LOGICAL SOCIETY FOR CULTIVATION IN THE 

 VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE UNITED STATES 

 AND CANADA. 



PLAN OF THE CATALOGUE. 



This catalogue embraces species and varieties of fruits and nuts 

 recommended for cultivation in the United States and the British 

 North American provinces. These are arranged alphabetically in 

 two ^ divisions, as follows : 



Division 1 . — Species and varieties mainly adapted to culture in the 

 Northern and Middle States of the United States and in adjacent 

 portions of the British provinces. 



Division 2. — More southern, tropical, and subtropical species and 

 varieties. 



Varieties known to succeed in a given district are indicated by an 

 asterisk (*) ; if highly successful, by two asterisks (**) ; if considered 

 promising, by a dagger (f); and if not reported on, by a dotted line 

 ( ) . These conclusions are not, however, to be accepted as abso- 

 lutely correct and infallible, but rather as reflections of the opinions 

 and experiences of practical fruit growers within the district. On 

 account of the extended range of the districts and of the varying soil 

 and climatic conditions that prevail within them, the above caution 

 must be kept in mind in considering the recommendations made in 

 this catalogue. No planter should attempt to follow its markings 

 absolutely, but should rely rather largely upon the experience of 

 others within his immediate vicinity and a correct knowledge of his 

 own location and environment in the district. 



Following the rules and recommendations of the American Pomo- 

 logical Society,^ prefixes, suffixes, secondary words, and apostrophic 

 or possessive terminations, together with words whose significa- 

 tions are expressed in the descriptive columns, are eliminated from 



a The third division of the Hsts previously printed is omitted from this publication 

 because of the lack of agreement among botanists as to the proper classifications of 

 the different species.
