If any one has varieties of fruits such as apples, the names of which they do not know, send a few specimens to the Ex- periment Station, and see if they can be identified. The hor- ticultural class in fruit growing here at the college had over one hundred varieties of apples for study the present season. Sometimes varieties are wrongly named also. Above all, let us set out enough fruit trees for our family use, if for no other purpose, and take a little pride in having a variety of them. Our farm homes are what we make them, and if we do not have plenty of fruits it is our own fault. In making the following list we realize that there are many splendid varieties that ripen at the same time as those listed, and compete with them closely. We have selected the lists with the idea of season and market as well as home consump- tion, and limited the varieties to as few as we could and at the same time meet all requirements. In strictly commercial or- chards we should recommend that the list be reduced to a very few varieties, not using more than from one to three varieties fro m each list. The mistake of select- ing too many va- rieties is a com- mon one. For family use a few trees of apples, for example, can be grafted with as many varieties as one cares for, thus allowing the remain- ing trees of the orchard to be Fig. io.—Niagara Plums.
