North America. The Macmillan Co. pp.393, 393. 
It is interesting to note that the two leading vari¬ 
eties of apples in the United States make up nearly 37 per 
cent of our normal apple crop and that the first twelve 
varieties constitute over 60 per cent of the total crop. 
With the growth of the commercial apple industry leading 
fruit growers are learning the wisdom and importance of 
fewer varieties, well selected as to adaptation to soils 
and climate, as to quality, and as to shipping and keep¬ 
ing qualities. With the abandonment and loss of many 
trees, especially in farm oroharas and in commercial re¬ 
gions where poorly adapted varieties were planted, there 
should come about a new alignment of varieties in order 
of relative importance. Anyone wishing to set out a com¬ 
mercial orchard in any of the well known apple regions 
today need not experiment in varieties. These have al¬ 
ready oeen determined through the many experiments during 
the last sixty years and through recent studies of market 
demand. The shipping and keeping qualities also have be¬ 
come well known to producers and merohants.
