NEW TO APPLE BEEN
DEVELOPED IT SITKI
Successful development of a pro
ject, started at Sitka 16 years ago
by the late Dr. C. C. Georgeson,;
then head of the Alaska Experi-,
ment Stations, was revealed in Ju- i
neau by his successor, Dr. H. W. |
Alberts, in a talk before the Cham- |
ber of Commerce. This is a hybrid j
apple which promises to produce j
satisfactorily in Southeast Alaska,]
says the Empire.
The project will be continued and
plants developed and distributed
throughout the Panhandle.
In 1916, said Dr. Alberts, Dr.
Georgeson crossed the native wild
; crabapple with the cultivated apple
and planted the seeds at Sitka; one
; tree survived and thrived.

Laist year it had numerous blos
soms. This year it bore a heavy
crop of fruit. It had qualities of
both its parents. It was shaped
like the crabapple and like it grew
in clusters, and was about 10 times
the crabapple in size. It was tart
and very suitable for jelly.
The Sitka station will produce
more of the plant sand distribute
them during the next four or five
years throughout the district. It
will also continue its investigation
of horticultural problems and those
incident to vegetable growing.
