The Apple Variety Situation in New England

The six New England states form a climatic district with a more or less common list of varieties. The Hudson and Champlain Valleys in New York are like New England and grow the same apples. As we go west to Lake Michigan minor changes occur, but as we go south the selections are distinctively different. Even within the New England-eastern New York area, climatic conditions differ enough to necessitate some special care in that selection of varieties. Baldwin and a few other sorts that are successful in southern New England winterkill too often in the north. Stayman and other warm season varieties mature in most seasons in the southern sections but find the summer too short and cool in the northern areas.
