An increa.sing- demand for the information contained in Bulletin No. 8 of the Division of Pomolog-y" makes desirable the publication of its essential features in greatly simplified form, for general distribution as a Farmers' Bulletin. Bulletin No. 8 was prejjared by the American Pomological Society's committee on the revision of its Catalogue of Fruits, and was adopted by the society as its recommended list. It was then published by the Department of Agriculture. The data forming the basis of that bul­ letin were carefully gathered from practical fruit growers throughout the country. It may therefore be accepted as containing approxi­ mately correct and trustworthy lists of fruits adapted to the various districts into which the countrj^ has been divided. The lists in the present bulletin are compiled from those in Bulletin No. 8, with such modifications as longer experience has rendered necessary. Fruit districts.—There are 19 fruit districts (see fig. 1), outlined as nearly as possible with reference to elevation, soils, and climatic con­ ditions. Their great size, however, prevents anything like absolute uniformity in these conditions throughout any district. Hence, a vari­ ety of fruit that is recommended for a certain district may not succeed in all portions of the district, and the grower is advised to secure counsel from all available local sources before proceeding in the important matter of planting. Explanation of terms.—The present bulletin is arranged by di.strict«. liidor eacli district its boundaries and general characteristics are first stated. Then follows a complete li.st of fruits recommended for planting in the district. It should be borne in mind that these recommendations are not made by the compiler, nor by the Department of Agriculture, but by a large number of practical fruit growers in each district, whose reports are based on their personal experience and observation. The varieties of each fruit are divided into three classes. Those varieties reported by growers as highly successful are placed under the head ''highly recommended;'' those reported as having proved ordinarily " Revisecl Catalogue of Fruits Recommended for Cultivation in the Various iSections of the United States and the British Provinces by the American Pomological Society. Revised by a Committee of the Society, W. H. Ragan, Chairman. Bui. 8, U. 8. I^epartment of Agriculture, Division of Pomology. 1899. 208 J. 4 successful are "recommended;" while those whose success has not yet been demonstrated, but which are considered promising, are "recom­ mended for trial." Of course these ratings are not to be considered as infallible. Indeed, no list can be given by which the planter can 5 always be guided; but the experience of others in a given district, with similar soils and climatic conditions, will usually prove of value to the beginner. It is the policy of the American Pomological Society to secure, so far as practicable, the adoption of names consisting of single words; also to secure for each variety the popular use of the same name in all parts of the country. In these lists parts of some names are printed in italics, which indicates that these names are eventually to be short­ ened by dropping the italicized parts. Where the italicized part is set off by a comma, it is the first part of the name; for instance, the varieties of peach known as General Lee and Lady Ingold are printed Lee, General., and Ingold, Lady. In some cases names are followed by others printed in italics and inclosed in parentheses. These are cases in which two or more names for one variety are in somewhat general use. The names thrown into parentheses are considered the le.ss desirable ones and their use is to be discouraged. No attempt is made to indicate the character of the varieties listed, except in a general way by the use of the words "de.s.sert," "kitchen," "market," "cider," etc., singly or in combination. The term "des­ sert" when applied to a variety .signifies that it is desirable for eating in a fresh or uncooked state. A variety recommended for the " kitchen" has good cooking qualities. A "market" variety is a good bearer, of fine appearance, and possesses the firmness and keeping quality necessary to stand shipment well. Of course such a variety must have qualities which make it more or less desirable for use by consumers; but as a rule the best "market" varieties seldom if ever are of the best quality as "dessert" or "kitchen" fruits. The other terms used, such as "cider," "wine," and " raisin," explain themselves. DISTRICT NO. 1.

  • Apples Catalogue 2019
    ADAMS PEARMAIN Herefordshire, England 1862 Oct 15 Nov Mar 14 Adams Pearmain is a an old-fashioned late dessert apple, one of the most popular varieties in Victorian England. It has an attractive 'pearmain' shape. This is a fairly dry apple - which is perhaps not regarded as a desirable attribute today. In spite of this it is actually a very enjoyable apple, with a rich aromatic flavour which in apple terms is usually described as Although it had 'shelf appeal' for the Victorian housewife, its autumnal colouring is probably too subdued to compete with the bright young things of the modern supermarket shelves. Perhaps this is part of its appeal; it recalls a bygone era where subtlety of flavour was appreciated - a lovely apple to savour in front of an open fire on a cold winter's day. Tree hardy. Does will in all soils, even clay. AERLIE RED FLESH (Hidden Rose, Mountain Rose) California 1930’s 19 20 20 Cook Oct 20 15 An amazing red fleshed apple, discovered in Aerlie, Oregon, which may be the best of all red fleshed varieties and indeed would be an outstandingly delicious apple no matter what color the flesh is. A choice seedling, Aerlie Red Flesh has a beautiful yellow skin with pale whitish dots, but it is inside that it excels. Deep rose red flesh, juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Hidden Rose an outstanding variety of top quality.

Orono, Maine. June, 1911. 8 2 8 5 INTRODUCTION The following pages represent an effort to trace the causes of the changing procession of varieties of apples grown in Maine. To this end the history of fruit growing in Maine has been carefully studied, largely through the Agricultural Reports from 1850 to 1909 and the columns of the Maine Farmer fran 1838 to 1875. The inquiry has been confined as rigidly as possible to this state, out­ side sources being referred to only for sake of compari­ son. Rather incidentally, soil influences, modifications due to climate, etc., have been considered. Naturally* since the inquiry was limited to printed record, nothing new has been discovered in this study. Perhaps a somewhat new point of view has been achieved. And, since early Maine pomological literature has been rather neglected by our leading writers, some few forgot­ ten facts have been exhumed.

As the temperance cause gained momentum during the 1820s many farmers abandoned their cider trees and transitioned to the cultivation of grafted winter apples in New England.

It will b- published in three c parts: I. Apples, II. Stone Fruit. , UI, Pears, Nuts, and Other Fruits. This survey was conducted at the request of the National Coor- dinating Committee on New Crops. Its purpose is to obtain an indication of the volume of material that would be involved in establishing clonal germ plasm repositories for the use of fruit breeders throughout the country. ACKNOWLEDGMENT Gratitude is expressed for the assistance of H. F.
