LIST OF APPLES FOR A WISCONSIN ORCHARD. 
BY J C BRATTON, OF AZTALAN, WIS. 
Dear Sir :—I hasten to comply with your request, “To fur¬ 
nish a list of apples for a Wisconsin orchard.” 
I will first give those which are hardy, worked at or near the 
surface on good seedling stocks, and which, in my opinion, are 
not improved in any respect by being top-worked. My list is 
especially for the richer soils of the Mississippi valley portion 
of Wisconsin, and not altogether applicable to the Lake Shore 
region : 
Early Harvest, Early Red, Early Pennock, Fall Stripe, 
Sweet June, or High top Sweet. Am. Summer Pearmain, Be- 
noni. 
AUTUMN. 
Fall Winesap, Fameuse, Fall Orange, Late Strawberry, Red 
Streak , Roseau, St. Lawrence, White Gilliflower, Sweet Pear, 
Trenton Early , Utter’s Large, Bailey Sweet. 
WINTER AND LONG KEEPERS. 
Black Vandervere, probably Newtoivn Spitzenburgh , Eng. 
Golden Russet, Flushing Spitzenburgh, Limbertwig, Northern 
Spy, Perry Russet, Red Spitzenburgh, Rawle’s Jennet, White 
Winter Pearmain, Tallman Sweet, Broadwell Sweet, Westfield 
Seeknofurther, Yellow Belleflower, Wagener, Winesap, Domine. 
Varieties too tender for above list which are believed to be 
sufficiently hardy if top worked on hardy stocks. 
Red June, Sops of Wine, Autumn Swaar, Golden Sweet, 
Herefordshire Pearmain, Lowell, English Russet, Maiden’s 
Blush, Belmont, Fulton, Jonathan. 
Local or uncertain names are italicised. 
Truly yours, 
J. C. Brayton.
