new USDA Geneva apple website

USDA Geneva has come out with new beta version of their apple website that I find to be much more user friendly than the old version. You can sort varieties by such things as tree vigor and fire blight resistance which may be helpful in making variety selections. I find it to be quite informative. Chris.

It looks like they've made it friendlier, though I didn't mind the old site. A nice feature of the new one is the grid result and the ability to export it. One thing which would make it a lot more useful is to add the variety name to the grid, as I haven't memorized the PI #'s. I noticed a few other minor issues, but it is to be expected in a beta. It's good to see continuing investment.
