In the southeastern section of the
State where the deadly San Jose scale
has worked greater damage probably
than elsewhere within the boundaries
of this Commonwealth, destroying
entire orchards so that farms are
now without fruit trees of any kind,
the owner of one of these treeless
homes in Bucks county has decided
to again plant an orchard, and
writes to Prof. H. A. Surface, state
zoologist, for a list of the best varie-
ties to plant in that county. The
following reply was sent him.
Replying to your letter making
inquiry as to the ten best varieties
of autumn and winter apples for
home use in your region, | would
recommend the following: Smoke
house, Grimes, Golden, Jonathan,
Rome Beauty, Bonum, Mother,
Lady's Sweeting, Pound, York I'm
perial and Stayman's Winesap. The
last one is the very best in quality,
while the next to last is the poorest
in quality in this list, but is the best
keeper and one of the best bearers,
and is one of our most profitable
commercial apples of Southern and
Southeastern Pennsylvania.
In addition to this list of fall
and winter apples, it appears that
a person should plant the following
for summer use in the home or
chard. Among these should be:
Yellow Transparent, Early Ripe,
Red Astrachan, Sweet Bough,
Wealthy, Maiden Blush, Summer
Rambo and Duchess.
ITO your tall list you could also
well add the Fall or Winter Rambo.
| should select those that ripen in
succession from the earliest to lat
est, and plant about half as many
varieties as are here given. Of
course, if you have a fair local
market, where you can sell the sur
plus in retail quantity to good ad-
vantage, it is a good plan to plant
all these varieties. You have
change for home use, and some are
liable to bear when others do not.
certainly do not recommend the
planting of many trees of several
kinds; just a few of each kind are
sufficient for home use. On the
other hand, if planting for CONNER
cial purposes, | strongly recon-
mend the planting of many trees of
each of very few kinds"
