A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
APELES 
Apple varieties, due to their long life and slowness in coming into production 
are much more stable than the small fruits. Nevertheless, if centuries are used 
as the yardstick, many changes can be noted. The demands of the public like- 
wise change and must be given due consideration. In order to meet these changes 
new varieties are continually needed. Just at present our greatest need is for a 
productive, late red apple of good quality that not only equals the desirable 
characters of the Baldwin but is superior in quality and free from bitter-pit. 
To date no such apple is known. However, we have varieties, such as the Ma- 
coun and Cortland that are gradually increasing in importance and at the present 
time the latter can be rated as one of New York’s leading varieties. 
Unfortunately the performance and suitability of a variety for a particular area 
cannot be determined except by growing it. The following kinds have been deemed 
worthy of a trial and an attempt has been made to depict their good character- 
istics as well as their defects. 
The following is a list of apple varieties arranged in order of ripening season 
from early to late.
