27	explicit_cultivar_reference	One orchard tree choice described as "one would be a Duchess" and older orchard entries include "Fine specimens of Wealthy, Duchess and Vir-ginia crab".
28	explicit_cultivar_reference	The text recommends this as a first-choice orchard tree: "Had Iroom for just two apple trees, one would be a Duchess, the other a Chickasaw crab." and later states, "We find that ... the standards the Duchess beats the list for early and cont inuous bearin g."

33	recommendation_context	Among the most profit able we would name the Duchess, Wealt hy, Haas, Westfield Seek-no-Further, Walbr idge, Utter's Red, Perry Russet.
34	explicit_cultivar_reference	In apples the Duchess and Wealthy are about as profitable as any.
36	explicit_cultivar_reference	Duchess does fairly well with good care ... In the spring of 1892 Iplanted a few Duchess ... The past two summers ... Duchess and Whitney suffered most; nearly all died.
