GENERAL LIST 
In 1940 we had 585 varieties and many of them got away from us before we 
were able to classify them. We firmly resolved that this number of varieties 
should be drastical.y cut. We did, and then proceeded to add a lot more so 
that in 1941 we planted some 690 varieties. Just couldn’t resist them, but the 
same thing happened again, and several missed being classified. We are listing 
them in this Chapter and promise to try and catch them next year. 

AMULET — (Palmer) 1938 (Picardy x Wasaga). A fine variety of clear, medium
