PHENOLOGICAL EECOEDS. 65 



The following lists of varieties for local use and for distant market, 

 suggested for certain portions of the Ozarks by persons well qualified 

 to make recommendations relative thereto, are here inserted because 

 of the importance of considering the variety problem from every 

 standpoint. 



In these lists for Arkansas and southern Missouri several varieties 

 are mentioned which are not included in the foregoing discussion of 

 peach varieties. The omission in the discussion is due to the fact that 

 .though they may be of value they are not yet much grown, and they 

 do not appear to have made any particular impression, except perhaps 

 very locally, upon the peach industry of this region, so far as the 

 writers have been able to observe. 



VARIETIES FOR ARKANSAS. 1 



For family use or home market: Victor, Greensboro, Carman, Mountain Rose, 

 Family Favorite, Early Crawford, Belle, Champion, Lee {General Lee), Emma, Late 

 Crawford, Oldmixon Free, Lemon Cling, Stump, Picquet, Heath, Wonderful. 



For shipping: Mountain Rose, Slappey, Elberta, Emma, Mathews (Mathews Beauty), 

 Heath (Heath Cling), Salway. 



These varieties are named in approximately the order in which they ripen. 



VARIETIES FOR SOUTHERN MISSOURI. 2 



For a family orchard: Mountain Rose, Reeves. Reynolds, Early Crawford, Gold 

 Dust. Salway. Heath. Picquet. 

 For a commercial orchard: Mountain Rose, Reynolds, Elberta, Salway, Picquet. 



To the last list might also be added possibly "Evans Xo. 3," a 

 seedling of Elberta which originated on the Olden Fruit Farm, at 

 Olden, Mo., and which has been grown there for some years. It is 

 virtually a "late" Elberta, ripening about 10 days after that variety. 

 It is considered by some as one of the most promising varieties to 

 follow Elberta in sequence of ripening that has appeared. 



PHENOLOGICAL RECORDS. 



In previous bulletins of the Bureau of Plant Industry 3 coordinate 

 in their subject matter with the present one, varietal records com- 

 piled in tabular form from data supplied by cooperative observers 

 have been inserted. These records show the blossoming, picking, 

 and other dates which represent the progress of the development of 

 the different varieties during the season, also dates of last killing 

 spring and earliest fall frosts. The records selected for use relate to 

 the more important varieties grown in the region under discussion 

 and in closely adjacent or contiguous regions.
