2 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OROON. WIODNIWAV. AVUh '!, WW. SPETZENBERGS OR NEWTOWN PIPPIN? Relative Ratings of These Two Ap ples Aro Discussed by Secretary Williamson of the State Horticul tural Society. In reply to a query as to tho roln tlvo rating of tho Newtown nnd Spit xenberg apples tho Oregon stato board of horticulture mado reply as follows: It Is true that tho American Pom ologlcal society uses the SntUenborg applo as tho standard of excellence, so far ns quality Is concerned, and rates It 10. Tho rating for quality glvo ntho Yellow Newtown Is 9-10. This rating was given before Oregon Tellow Newtowns wore known out sJdo of tho state. This rating applies eololy to the quality of tho flesh. H is a strong assertion to state that any ono variety of apples ranks all others If we take Into considera tion. In addition to the quality of flesh, color, form and keeping qual lty of tho fruit, and health, vigor and bearing habits of trees, and the dt verse tastes of different consumers and groups of consumers. There Is a marked dlfferenco of opinion among good judges as to the comparative merits of the Spltzenberg and Yellow Newtown In the matter of quality of flesh. Downing, one cf the best authorities on fruits who fea sever lived In this country, placed them on a par, to-wlt: "Tho Esopus Spltzenberg is a handsome, truly de licious apple, and is generally consid ered by all good Judges equal to the Newtown Pippin, and unsurpassed as a dessert fruit by any other variety." The most valuable recent publica tion on apples is "Tho Apples of Now York." In this work the quality of the flesh of tho Newtown Is rated "Best"; that of tho Spltzenberg "very good to best." In the United States tho Spitzen bcrgs of tho fanciest grade sell for higher prices than Newtowns of tho corresponding grade. In England tho Newtown Is preferred to all other ap ples sent from this country, and the Spltzenberg is not especially popular, selling there at about tho same prices as Baldwin, Northern Spy and King apples of equal condition. I havo at hand a report of the auc tion sales of apples at Liverpool, De cember 1, 1909, which may be taken as (ally typical In tho matter of prices obtained. On that day Hudson River Newtowns were sold at 20 shillings per barrel; Virginia Newtowns at from 14 to 33 shillings per barrel; California Newtowns at 18 shillings per barrel, and G to 8 shillings, six pence per box, and Oregon Newtowns at from 9 shill'ngs threepence to 12 shillings sixpence per box. On the samo day Sp'lzenbcrgs from New England and Canada were sold at from 13 to 15 shillings per barrel, practically tho same prices that were obtained for Baldwins, Spies and Greenings from tho same districts on that day.
