A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
Fredonia is a very large, late dark red gooseberry of the English type. The 
fruit is good in quality, and attractive in appearance, and keeps and ships well. 
The plants are vigorous, productive, and of an open habit of growth that makes 
harvesting easy. It has been free from mildew which attacks other English goose¬ 
berries. Every garden should have a few Fredonias. 
Poorman possesses the highest quality of fruit and one of the largest, healthiest 
and most vigorous bushes of any variety in the Station collection. The fruit is 
large, red, and very attractive. The plants are exceedingly productive. This is a 
splendid gooseberry in heavy soils. 
RASPBERRIES 
It is apparent that unless varieties of red and black raspberries re¬ 
sistant to mosaic and other diseases can be bred that the production 
of these fruits must cease to be profitable. The Station is giving its 
utmost attention to procuring varieties of these fruits resistant to 
disease-—-with what success remains to be seen. The association 
offers several varieties as well as one English sort, which seem to be 
resistant and which are most admirable in every other particular. 
Dundee is a promising new black raspberry notable for its high quality. The 
berries are large, glossy black, attractive, moderately firm, mildly subacid and 
very good. The plants are tall, vigorous, productive, and moderately resistant 
to mosaic. Naples for market and Dundee for home, is a good combination. 
Lloyd George is the only English raspberry that has ever succeeded on the 
Station grounds, most of them suffering severe winter killing, or not withstanding 
the hot summer sun. Mosaic spreads slowly in this variety. The plants are 
stocky, of medium height. The fruit is very large, rather soft and dark if fully 
ripe, sprightly, and of excellent quality. Lloyd George is recommended for home 
use and local markets. It seems to prefer heavy soils and a cool, moist climate. 
Naples is the most promising black raspberry that has ever fruited on the 
Station grounds. The plants are vigorous and productive. Records to date show 
that mosaic spreads slowly in Naples. The fruit is large, glossy, attractive, firm, 
and of good quality. The variety is excellent for market and home use—-no other 
market variety as good. 
Newburgh is the most promising variety in the Station collection. The fruit is 
very large, very firm, and does not crumble. The color is a bright, attractive red; 
in keeping and shipping quality it has no superior. The plants are vigorous, 
hardy and very productive, the weight of the fruit is so great that the canes are 
often bent to the ground. The fruit is borne out in the open where it may be 
readily picked. Mosaic has not appeared in the stock of Newburgh. In season
