A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
Ewart comes from Mortimer Ewart, East Akron, Ohio. The fruit is remarkable 
for its large size and good quality. It is greenish yellow, netted with russet, and 
has a fine, melting, tender, juicy flesh. The season is a month later than Bartlett. 
Gorham ripens its fruits 2 weeks later than Bartlett and keeps a month longer. 
The fruits resemble those of Bartlett in size, color, and shape. The flavor is sweet 
and vinous with a very marked and pleasing aroma. The flesh is white, tender, 
buttery, and juicy—a combination which, with the rich flavor and spicy aroma, 
makes this one of the very best flavored pears of its season. The trees are vigor¬ 
ous and productive—and as yet have not blighted on the Station grounds. Plant 
Gorham for pears to follow Bartlett. 
Ovid ripens in December at Geneva. Its fruit is large and in color resembles 
that of Bartlett, except that it bears russet patches. The flesh is fine-grained, 
tender, nearly white, sweet, agreeably flavored, and good in quality. Ovid 
promises to be a splendid late pear. 
Phelps is of the type of Bartlett, but the pear ripens much later. The flavor is 
better than that of Bartlett, but the appearance is not so pleasing as the color 
is duller. The flesh is tender and juicy with a pleasant vinous flavor. It ripens 
around Thanksgiving and keeps until Christmas—a good late pear. 
Pulteney is from a sister plant to Phelps and is of the Bartlett type, with fruits 
a little more regular in outline, skin smoother, but possibly not as attractive in 
color. It ripens 4 weeks later than Bartlett, hence valuable to prolong the Bart¬ 
lett season. 
Willard ripens about 2 weeks later than Ovid and resembles Bartlett more 
closely in shape and color. Its flesh is yellowish, fine-grained, tender, and juicy. 
Recommended for high quality and lateness—one of the best winter pears. 
PLUMS 
To stimulate anew the growing of plums, this Association offers 
Albion, Hall and Stanley, three of the best flavored and handsomest 
plums in a collection of over 300 varieties grown on the grounds of the 
New York Agricultural Experiment Station. Beside these choicely 
good sorts, several other noteworthy plums are listed. 
Albion is the latest ripening good plum grown at Geneva. It belongs to the 
Grand Duke type, but its fruits are larger and better in quality. The tree is 
productive, strong, and vigorous. All in all, Albion is one of the most remarkable 
new plums described in many years. 
American Mirabelle is a small, sweet, yellow Damson. The fruits resemble 
those of the European Mirabelle closely in color, but are much larger. The tree
