grape, and Fredonia, a blue one, are early; Delaware, midseason; and 
Concord, later. One or two Montmorency (sour) cherry trees will 
furnish adequate fruit for canning. The Stanley plum, a prune type, 
good fresh or canned, comes into bearing early and seems to be 
widely adapted, whereas the Shropshire plum, a damson, is a good 
late tart variety suitable for jellies and preserves. Among the pears 
suggested, Kieffer, although not of high quality, is one of the most de- 
pendable for home use, particularly in the southern half of the region. 
Two or more varieties each of sweet cherries, pears, some plums, 
Chinese chestnuts, filberts, blueberries, and apples must be planted 
for cross-pollination and adequate fruit set. 
In the more northern districts, 1 and 2, it is best to plant either red 
or black raspberries, not both, for the red raspberry often has a virus 
disease that spreads to black raspberries and quickly kills them.
