FRUIT GROWING FOR HOME USE IN THE GREAT PLAINS. 19 
largely of samietias that growers thus far regard favorably, will be 
suggestive in the extension of fruit growing.? 
It should be understood, however, that the suggestions as to 
varieties to plant are only tentative. Further experience and obser- 
vation will doubtless result in many changes.° |

a Growers have supplied information regarding varieties both in personal interviews 
with the writer and by correspondence. 
b Some of the varieties mentioned in these lists are more commonly known in this 
region by a synonym than by the name that conforms to the rules of nomenclature 
adopted by the American Pomological Society. As these rules are followed as far as 
possible, the accepted name is given in each case. Wherever this course is likely to 
cause confusion as to the identity of any variety, the synonym by which it is com- 
monly known is given in italics after the leading name. 
¢Much confusion exists regarding the identity of the cherries grown in America 
under the names Montmorency, Montmorency Ordinaire, and Large Montmorency. 
Growers in the Great Plains area commonly use the name Montmorency without 
distinguishing one variety of this group from another. Many nurserymen also fail to 
discriminate between them. It appears-probable that the variety most commonly 
planted in this area is the sort commonly known in the New York nurseries as Mont- 
morency Ordinaire, though it has also been distributed more or less under the name 
Large Montmorency. The Large Montmorency variety of the eastern nurseries is 
claimed to be of better quality than Montmorency Ordinaire, but it is considered a 
shy bearer.
