Newman Seedling. — From George Townsend, Gordon, O., 

 1890. It was topworked on a bearing tree and came into bearing 

 four years later. Thus far it has been quite productive, and the 

 fruit keeps well. Season, from December to May, It is not 

 attractive in color and not first class either for cooking or for a 

 dessert fruit. 



Fruit medium or above, oblong, inclined to conic; skin straw color, 

 faintly or sometimes deeply blushed with light red; stem slender, set in a 

 narrow, shallow cavity; calyx open, set in a shallow, naiTow basin. Flesh 

 very firm, crisp, juicy, rather coarse, mild sub-acid, or nearly sweet, fair 

 to good in flavor and quality; core large, open.

Pride of Texas. — From Benj, Buckman, Farmingdale, 111,, 

 IS89. Topworked on bearing tree it bore a fair crop in 1895 and 

 a very large one in 1896, The tree has a somewhat spreading

 season it was one of the best fruits in the Station collection for 

 use in May and June, It seems to be worthy of trial where a 

 late keeping fruit is wanted. 



Fruit medium size, roundish conical, symmetrical; cavity moderately 

 broad, rather deep, russeted; stem long; basin very shallow, corrugated; 

 calyx small, closed. Skin smooth, light yellow, largely washed with faint
