Conteúdo: | Usage of fruit determines the direction of selection. While the sweet type generally lacks the qualities associated with processing, the pleasant flovor makes it a desirable table fruit. The ascorbic acid content is considered low only when compared with the sour type, but far exceeds that of other commonly consumed fruits. The mild flavor and nutritional value of the fruit and the attractive, ornamental nature of the plant are desirable qualities for home plantings. The results reported herein show that the sour is generally higher in ascorbic acid content, more fruitflu, and produces trees better suited to orchard culture than the sweet type. In general the plants of the sweet types showed less variation in the various factors studied. Even the growth habitsamong the several selections tested were similar to the extent that a description of one sweet clone will closely resemble that any other sweet clone. The sour clones showed wide variations. Differences in ascorbic acid content, fruit size, disease tolerance, and fruit yields were quite distinct. Growth habits were different and the clones are more easily recognizable with individually the various factors, three sweet and five sour clones were selected for naming as new cultivars. The sweet varientes are introduced primarily for use as table fruits, whilr the sour varieties are directed towards utilization in the processing industry.
