23 HARRISONS’ NURSERIES 
and Elberta. The fifth selection lay among sorts which had a 
local reputation, and in no case did a grower havea large planting 
of this, without regard to variety. 
Nor is the choice of apples much wider. In West Virginia, in 
Maryland, in Maine, in New York, in New Jersey, in the apple- 
growing counties of Pennsylvania, in the Ozark region of Missouri, 
in the Hood River Valley, and in Washington, a limited number 
of varieties furnish the great crops. Without question the chief 
varieties of apples in these well-known sections are Grimes, 
McIntosh, Jonathan, Stayman Winesap, Winesap, Wealthy, 
Williams, Yellow Transparent, and Delicious. 
All this investigation confirms our tests in our orchards in and 
around Berlin. Here we have over 1,000 acres of fruiting trees, 
about equally divided between apples and peaches. We have the 
“Big Four Peaches,” and our fifth is the Ray. Likewise, we have 
the chief varieties of apples—those that are especially profitable 
here. The careful production records which are kept give us 
accurate knowledge of the points of each variety. 
We know the varieties that are the money-makers in com- 
mercial orchards and the desirable sorts for home plantizg; 
and from now on we propose to propagate, to recommend and 
to sell only such varieties. 
Of course other sorts may be valuable in certain restricted dis- 
tricts, like the Baldwin apple for New York state and New 
England, or Gravenstein for the Atlantic section; or the Crawford 
and Iron Mountain peaches. We shall continue to propagate and 
sell the valuable local varieties, and you will find them listed in 
their proper places. 
But let me emphasize the fact that the twelve varieties of 
Apples, and the six varieties of Peaches which lead these two 
departments of our business are unquestionably the cream for 
most sections. Whether you plant for home use or for market 
you may be sure of success with these varieties.
