A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
it is three or four days earlier than Cuthbert. In bush and fruit, this is the best 
red raspberry under cultivation. 
Bristol was introduced last year as an early variety to precede Naples. 
It ripens about a week earlier than Naples and throughout its trial period 
has shown itself to be one of the most promising early black raspberries on 
the vStation grounds. The fruit is large, an attractive glossy black color, firm, 
and good in quality. The bushes are vigorous and bear very heavy crops. The 
symptoms of red mosaic are sufficiently distinct to make rogueing relatively 
simple. 
STRAWBERRIES 
All varieties commencing with “C” were derived from the cross 
of Howard by Marshall. The plants of this cross are exceptionally 
vigorous and excellent plant makers; the fruits are large, glossy, very 
attractive, very good in quality, and ripen in midseason. 
Bliss ripens in late midseason and the berries are large, an attractive light, 
glossy red, sweet and of very good quality. The plants are medium in number, 
vigorous, and productive. This variety is now well established and well liked. 
Camden is a general market berry and noteworthy because of the extreme 
productiveness and vigor of the plants. The fruit characters are satisfactory for 
a market berry. The variety is a good plant-maker. 
Cato is offered as a high quality variety for home use. It is nearly the equal of 
Marshall in quality, and much superior in plant characters. Because the skin 
bruises easily it will not make a satisfactory market berry unless handled very 
carefully. It would be hard to find a handsomer strawberry. 
Catskill has done exceptionally well in eastern Massachusetts and in Maryland. 
The plants are large, very vigorous, and yield very heavy crops. The berries are 
very large, roundish wedge, slightly irregular, moderately firm, dark red, but 
glossy and attractive, mild subacid and good in quality. The berries ripen in 
midseason or about four days later than Howard. In 1930 this seedling received 
an award of merit from the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 
Clermont is a most excellent variety for both market and home use. The fruits 
are very large, and hold up well in size throughout the season. The berries are 
regular, very glossy and attractive, do not bruise easily, and are excellent in 
quality. This is one of the outstanding strawberries from the Station’s list. 
Culver is a late midseason berry, rather dark in color, and well adapted for 
canning and preserving. The berries are large, regular, and bruise slightly. 
The flavor is sprightly and the quality very good. Besides being excellent for 
preserving, it is a splendid sort for home use. Culver is already popular in several 
strawberry regions.
