Madison 



A highly colored, attractive peach with short pubescence. 

 The flesh is yellow, firm, juicy and has a good flavor. Sets 

 yer^ heavy crops and requires heavy thinning to maintain med- 

 ium size. 



Ores thaven 



A large, oblate-shaped peach with a dark red blush. The 

 bright yellow flesh is firm, juicy and slightly fibrous. 

 There is some red at the pit. The flavor is very good. The 

 tree is vigorous, productive and medium in hardiness. Recom- 

 mended for trial on basis of performance in other areas.

Another V.P.I, introduction with blossoms that are resistant 

 to spring frosts. The fruits are large and wel 1 -colored. 

 The flesh is yellow and comparable to J.H. Hale in flavor and 

 and firmness. Jefferson ripens 2 to 3 days after Elberta. 

 Jefferson lacks winter bud-hardiness. 



PLUMS 



Howard Miracle (Japanese ) 



A large, attractive, high quality Japanese plum. The fruit 

 is golden yellow with a light red blush. The firm-fleshed, 

 freestone is picked in late August. Production was very good 

 this year. The flavor of this variety is not typical of a 

 plum and might be objectionable to some. 



Ozark Premier (Japanese) 



A large, attractive plum with a medium-red overcolor and firm 

 yellow flesh. The quality of the fruit is very good. The 

 tree is vigorous and appears to be productive. The fruit is 

 ready in late August. 



Mohawk (European) 



This variety, along with Oneida and Iroquois, was named by 

 the New York Agricultural Experiment Station in 1966. Mohawk 

 is an attractive blue prune, ripening in late August. The 

 size is medium to large and the quality is very good. Produc- 

 tion has been moderate. Mohawk is said to be self-unfruitful. 



Seneca (N.Y. 981) (European) 



This variety was named in 1972. It is a large, attractive, 

 oval, reddish-purple plum of a very high quality. Seneca was 

 a good producer in our Amherst orchard. Seneca ripens in late 

 August and early September. 



Iroquois (European) 



An attractive blue prune that ripens in early September about 

 a week before Stanley. The fruit is of medium size, longer 

 than Stanley and of good quality. The tree is productive. 

 There was some splitting of the fruit when the trees first 

 came into bearing in our Amherst orchard. Iroquois is said 

 to be sel f-f rui tf ul . 



Oneida (European) 



A large, reddish-black prune shaped plum of very good quality. 

 The tree is medium in size, vigorous and productive. Oneida 

 keeps well in storage and appears to be worthy of trial where 

 a late ripening plum is desired.
