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

 an early peach is desired.

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

 Golden Jubilee. Suggested for limited trial. 



PRAIRIE DAWN - An attractive yellow fleshed freestone peach which ripens just after 

 Jersey land. Fruit juicy and good quality. Bud hardiness above average. Worthy 

 of trial. 



HALE HARRISON BRILLIANT - A large yellow fleshed freestone which ripens 3 to 4 

 days before Elberta. It is better quality than Elberta and is worthy of trial.

PEARS 



ALEXANDER LUCAS - An attractive French winter pear which is large, yellow with 

 a blush and good quality. Its season is late fall and early winter. 



CHAPIN - A seedling of Seckel which resembles Seckel in general characteristics 

 but ripens nearly a month before Seckel. It is very sweet and excellent in 

 quality. 



EWART - A large greenish yellow pear netted with russet and has a fine, melting, 

 tender, juicy flesh. The season is a month later than Bartlett. 



GORHAM - Fruit resembles Bartlett in size, color, and shape. Ripens two weeks 

 later than Bartlett and keeps a month longer. The quality is good to excellent. 

 This variety is particularly recommended for dessert and canning. 



RED BARTLETT - A sport of Bartlett which resembles Bartlett in every respect 

 except color which is red rather than yellow.

RED RASPBERRY 



EARLY RED - Originated at South Haven, Michigan as a cross between Lloyd George 

 and Cuthbert. In season it ripens with Chief but has larger and somewhat better 

 flavored fruit which is bright red. The canes are only moderately winter hardy 

 and are moderately susceptible to spur blight. Worthy of limited trial where a 

 berry of this season is desired. 



MUSKUCA - This midseason variety originated at Ottawa, Canada as a cross between 

 NevTman 23 and Herbert. The fruit is medium size, light red, moderately firm and 

 fairly good quality. Reported as extremely winter hardy in Canada, Winter 

 killed 507o here in 1955-56 but only 20% in 1956-57. 



PUYALLUP - Originated at Puyallup, Washington as a cross between Washington and 

 Taylor. In season it appears to be about with Latham. Its fruit is rather large, 

 firm, medium red, conic shape, with a distinctive flavor and very good quality. 

 The last two winters it has shown somewhat more winter injury than Milton which 

 is a bit too much for comfort «
