The American Pomological Society's Code for Naming Fruit and Nut Varieties

Abstract

The number of fruit varieties claiming the attention of fruit growers is being increased each year. The list published by the American Pomological Society in its forthcoming issue shows that 10 to 50 or more new peach varieties come to the fore annually. As time goes on, many of these of course will fall by the wayside, while others will take their place in the orchards on the basis of their individual merits. There is an opportunity, therefore, with new varieties being named each year, to duplicate names of varieties already in use.
