‘Red Delicious 
This well-known apple bears in about six years. 
It is a good winter apple. McIntosh and Whitney 
Crabs will pollinate it. 
“Duchess Red 
The Duchess Red, which is a fine, good-size fall 
apple, bears in from four to six years. 
\ Yellow Delicious 
This apple, which is one of the best selling apples, 
can be pollinated by Whitney Crab and McIntosh. It 
bears at about five years and bears heavy every other 
year. It is subject to Cedar Rust. 
~ Jonathan Double Red 
This is a good winter apple, subject to Cedar Rust. 
It produces a crop in about ten years. 
\ Whitney Crab 
I believe all crab apples are more or less subject 
to Cedar Rust but it is a good pollinator and the 
best all purpose crab, cooking, and eating apple. It 
bears at about eight to ten years. 
Cortland 
This is a good cooking and eating apple which is 
not subject to Cedar Rust. It is a large apple which 
produces its first crop in from three to four years. 
\ Grimes Golden 
The Grimes Golden is a large yellow late fall 
apple. 
Pears 
Pears thrive best on clay soil but grow in all parts 
of the county. The Clapp Favorite bears the second 
year; other varieties bear from six to ten years. 
Yield: ten crops in ten years. 
The Bartlett needs a pollinator and yields in about 
six years. 
Cherries 
Sweet cherries do best in sandy soil. The yield 
on heavy soil has been light but of fair quality. 
Sour cherries are grown all over the county but 
have been troubled with leaf shedding in July. Com- 
mon sprays were a failure but, from reports, Fermate 
seems to be satisfactory as a control spray. In ten 
years, we had eight crops and two failures due to 
frost.
