Export Varieties 
Up to the present time the favorite export varieties 
have been Yellow Newtown, York Imperial and Baldwin. In 
England a preference is shown for the yellow varieties, 
dating back to the quality of the famous Albemarle Pippins 
(Yellow Newtown), shipped from the State of Virginia. In 
the Scandinavian countries the red varieties command the 
best prioe, including Baldwins, Kings, and Ben Davis, all 
marketed in barrels. Few green or cooking apples are de¬ 
manded in these northern countries. 
The box—packed apples in greatest demand are Jonathans, 
Spitzenberg, Winesape, and Arkansas Blacks. The western box 
pack is preferred. This preference for box-packed apples 
may oe -o-tuributed to the fact that they can be shipped more 
safely and are mere likely to arrive in a satisfactory con¬ 
dition, Boxed apples also are better adapted to handling 
for inland transportation.
