Geneva (New York) Experiment Station, as Milton, Early Mcintosh, 

 and Melba, are worth}' of trial, especially for local trade. 



A indicates summer and early fall apples, when grown in quantities. 



B indicates the late fall and winter varieties. The same variety may 

 be a fall apple in one section and a winter variety in another section. 



Variety descriptions with special notes on local behavior are available 

 from so many authoritative sources that such descriptions are not in- 

 cluded here.

The planting of Oldenburg, Wagener, Tompkins King, and 

 Twenty Ounce is decreasing. Northern Spy, though slow to come 

 into bearing, is a desirable variety in favored locationSc 



In the Hudson River Valley the Hst of varieties is much the same 

 as for western New York. !McIntosh and Cortland, however, have 

 been planted on a larger scale, and Rome, Delicious, Yellow New- 

 town, and Red Gravenstein are grown commercially. Jonathan, 

 while grown, is decreasing in popularity. To lengthen the Mcintosh 

 season in some sections, the Kendall and Macoun are becoming 

 quite popular. 



In the Champlain Valley, resistance to cold is a prime factor. 

 Mcintosh, Northern Spy, and Fameuse are in the lead. Wealthy, 

 Alexander, and Wolf River are also grown.

 Mcintosh, Fameuse, Delicious.
