S&ndcn-i - A Spy seedling introduced from Ottavra. The fruit is of good size, well 

 colored and fairly attractive. Quality good for a late winter apple. Fruit is 

 reported to be subject to bitter pit. We have not fruited Sandovi long enough to 

 determine its value. 



Crandall - A Jonathan x Rome introduction from Illinois, Fruit good size and 

 shape, fairly well colored vdth an attractive bright red. Fruit flesh is fine 

 grained and juicy but quality only fair, Crandall is a hard apple which should 

 keep Yirell in storage. It needs further testing. 



Monroe - A Jonathan x Rome introduction ty the New York Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, An attractive, well colored medium red apple of good size. Fruit 

 quality good but not up to dessert quality, Monroe shows promise as a winter 

 apple but needs a fevf more seasons observations before we can determine its value 

 for Massachusetts,

PEACH 



Sunrise - An early, attractive, medium size yellovi peach v/hich ripens a few days 

 ahead of Early East, Fruit quality varies with season^ but fairly good for an 

 early peach. A clingstone unless fully ripe. Suggested for limited trial where 

 an early peach is desired. 



Early East - A rather attractive good sized yellov/ peach « Fair quality, semi-cling, 

 somewhat irregular in shape. Early East ripens about 10 days ahead of Golden 

 Jubilee, Suggested for limited trial, 



Prairie Davm - An attractive yellow fleshed freestone peach v^hich ripens just after 

 Jerseyland, Fruit juicy and good quality. Bud hardiness above average, l^orthy 

 of trial, 



Prairie Daybreak - A yellovir flesh freestone vihich ripens vdth Jerseyland, Fruit 

 quality not too high. The flesh is greenish yellow and the buds are no hardier 

 than Elberta, Prairie Daybreak is inferior to Jerseyland and of doubtful value 



for Massachusetts. 



Hale Harrison BrilliaPt - A large yellow fleshed freestone which ripens 3 to U days 

 before Elberta, It is better quality than Elberta and is worthy of trial, 



Sungold - A yellow fleshed freestone of Elberta season. Quality varies vdth season. 

 Tree is not vigorous, on the small size, Sungold has been aroimd for several years 

 but it has not been outstanding enough to recommend it and is of no particular value,
