POLLINATION OF FRUIT TREES 
The value of pollination in the production of a fruit crop is now well recognized. 
Although many varieties are self-fruitful, experiments show that they are greatly 
benefited by cross pollination. 
Here are some brief remarks on how to select your varieties. 
APPLES: They need cross-pollination. Plant therefore at least two different varieties. 
Good pollinators are Cortland, Delicious, and Wealthy. Include one of these 
varieties in your planting. 
PEARS: Plant at least two different varieties for proper pollination. Bartlett and Seckel 
do not pollinate each other. Where these two varieties are planted, a third variety 
should be included. 
PLUMS: Abundance and Burbank need cross-pollination. They pollinate each other. 
All other varieties which we offer are self-fruitful. 
CHERRIES: Sweet Cherries need cross-pollination. Plant at least two different varie- 
ties. All Sour Cherries are self-fruitful. 
PEACHES, APRICOTS: They are self-fruitful. However, crops will be increased by 
planting different varieties for pollination. 
FILBERT NUTS, BUSH CHERRIES, BLUEBERRIES: They need cross-pollination. Plant 
two or more different varieties to insure satisfactory crops. 
Most other kinds of fruit trees and berries are self-fruitful. 
For complete information we refer to Circular No. 132 issued by New York State 
Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y. They will be glad to send you a copy free of
