Paulared 



This recent introduction ripens with or slightly after Tyde- 

 man. The fruits of Paulared are medium to large in size, 

 roundish-oblate in shape and have excellent finish. The 

 fruit colors early and has a solid red blush at harvest (Aug. 

 31, 1972) Our limited trials suggest that Paulared is most 

 promising for the early September market. 



Summerved 



We have fruited this British Columbia introduction for two 

 seasons. Summerred ripens in late August. The fruits are 

 round-conic to oblong in shape, above medium in size and have 

 a bright red blush. The dots have been conspicuous and often 

 russeted in our trials. The fruit quality has been good. 

 Summerred is a Mcintosh X Delicious cross. 



IJiagara 



This variety ripens about 10 days before Mcintosh. Niagara 

 is similar to Mcintosh in shape and color. The fruit finish 

 has been less than satisfactory in past seasons. The fruit 

 seems susceptible to russeting and the lenticels have tended 

 to be larger and blurred. The eating quality of Niagara is 

 \jQry good and the variety has been well received by those who 

 have tried it here at the University. 



Jonamac (New York 4428-5) 



A New York Agricultural Experiment Station introduction orig- 

 inating from a Mcintosh X Jonathan cross. This Mcintosh type 

 apple is said to be superior to Mcintosh in both color develop- 

 ment and eating quality. Jonamac is an early fall apple that 

 ripens about 8 days earlier than Mcintosh and is being recom- 

 mended to replace some of the Mcintosh now harvested when im- 

 mature and marketed before they are ripe. The foregoing com- 

 ments are based on the originator's description. 



Empire 



A yery promising introduction of the New York Agricultural 

 Experiment Station at Geneva. Empire, resulting from a Mcin- 

 tosh X Delicious cross, was introduced in 1966. The fruit 

 ripens about 2 weeks later than Mcintosh. This very attrac- 

 tive apple has a solid red blushj is of medium size, has very 

 good dessert quality and has been a good keeper. The tree 

 appears to be annual and productive. This appears to be a 

 very promising variety. 



PEACHES 



Collins 



A New Jersey introduction ripening a few days before Sunrise. 

 The peach is medium-sized, firm and yellow-fleshed. Collins 

 is semi-cling when picked at maximum shipping condition and a 

 freestone when fully matured. Thinning is recommended to in- 

 sure good size. 



Brighton (N.Y. 2622) 



A 1972 introduction of the New York Agricultural Experiment 

 Station. Brighton is described as an attracti ve, hi gh quality 

 yellow-fleshed peach, ripening just before Sunhaven. The 

 fruit is roundish, uniformly medium in size, and nearly all- 

 over bright red on yellow ground. The flesh is medium firm.
