  • Progress in Apple Improvement
    PROGRESS IN APPLE IMPROVEMENT J. R. MAGNESS, Principal Pomologisi, 13ivision of Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, liureau of Plant Industry ^ A HE apple we liave today is J^u" rciuovod from tlic "gift of the gods'' wliich prehistoric man found in roaming the woods of western Asia and temperate Europe. We can judge that apple only by the wild apples that grow today in the area between tlie Caspian Sea and Europe, which is believed to be the original habitat of the apple. These apples are generally onl>r 1 to 2 inches in diameter, are acici and astringent, and are far inferior io the choice modern horticultural varieties. The improvement of the apple through tlie selection of the best types of the wild seedlings goes far baclv to the very beginning of history. Methods of budding and grafting fiiiits were Icnown more than 2,000 years ago. According to linger, C^ato (third century, B. C.) knew seven different apple varieties, l^liny (first centiuy, A. D.) knew^ 36 different kinds. By tlie time the iirst settlers froni Europe were coming to the sliores of North America., himdreds of apple varieties had been named in European <M)unt]*ies, The superior varieties grown in l^^urope in the seventeenth century had, so far as is known, all developed as chance seedlings, but garden- ers had selected the best of the s(>edling trees îvnd propagated them vegetatively. The early American settlers, ptirticiilarly those from the temperate portions of Europe, who came to the eastern coast of North Amer- ica, brought with them seeds and in some cases grafted trees of European varieties.

  • Mcintosh Mcintosh Country
    STATE OF MAINEMAINE---- POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY TAKEN FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY ISSUE THE 1 ST ONE HUNDRED YEARS 1930 TO 11973973 MCINTOSH COUNTRY During this period most of the new trees being set were also McIntosh, with some Delicious and a few Cortland. A 1945 study by the Experiment Station shows that although the McIntosh accounted for a mere four per cent of the Maine crop as late as 1928, 15 years later in 1943, 60% of the apples harvested in Maine were Macs. Of course this remarkable growth in percentage is in large measure explained by the dramatic drop in number of apple trees in Maine: from an all-time high of 4.2 million at the turn of the century, to 3.3 million in 1920, two million in 1930,and finally leveling off at approximately half a million by the mid 1940's. These figures from the U. S. Census Bureau show that in the early part of this century, Maine had over 35 thousand farms averaging less than 100 trees, but by 1956 there were 119 orchards classified as commercial in an Extension Service report. These orchards accounted for over half the trees in the state. The other trees were in approximately 2,000 orchards, suburban yards, and abandoned farms. Further detail on tree count, by variety, is given in Appendix IV. Several factors contributed to this dramatic change in the orchard industry. The aforementioned loss of a foreign market for the old varieties was a factor; the decline of agriculture in New England generally leading to the abandonment of thousands of farms in Maine during the first third of this century was another, as was the severe Maine weather.
