The present situation concerning the maintenance of germ plasm of pome fruits (apples and pears, in particular) is not good and appears to be deteriorating. The Register of Fruit Breederscompiled by the fruit breeding committee of the American Society for Horticultural Science in 1970 lists 23 stations and 31 breeders working with apples and 12 stations and 13 breeders working with pears. Of these, at least 3 stations have phased out the apple breeding work since that time and presumably the variety collections in connection with those programs have been eliminated as well.
