ABOUT POLLINATION 
Although most varieties of Apples will produce a few fruits in most years and 
some varieties will likely produce a fair crop in favorable years when self pollinated— 
all varieties benefit by cross pollination. It is good practice therefore, to plant not 
more than 2 to 4 rows of one variety in a block alternating with desirable pollinating 
varieties. 

Red Delicious Good results may be anticipated where any two or more of such standard com- 
mercial varieties as McIntosh, Wagener, Wealthy, Grimes, Jonathan, Steele Red, and 
Delicious are planted together. Dutchess and Fameuse may be planted together or
