The Apple Industry in the United States: A Selected List of References on the Economic Aspects of the Industry Together with Some References on Varieties

Excerpts from the Introduction: This bibliography consists of references to books, bulletins, and pamphlets dealing with the economic aspects of the apple industry in the United States. Periodical articles, as a rule, have been omitted. Some references to general publications on fruit which include apples have been given, but no attempt was made to include them all. Although, as a rule, material on orchard culture and management has been omitted the bibliography contains occasional references to such publications as have been found to contain statistical data. Following the main bibliography is a list of references on varieties of apples (p. 115). While it is not presented as a complete list it is fairly comprehensive. Certain publications of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, U. S. Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Bureau of the Census have been described in detail as to what they contain on apples. In some cases complete files have been described, in others only the latest volume, or those volumes which contain a series of figures over a period of years.
