A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
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 
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 Station 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. 
Evans. This new early black raspberry, originating from a cross between 
Watson No. 1 and Honeysweet is offered this fall—1935, for the first time. Grow¬ 
ers who have fruited it under its seedling number 2609 consider it a promising 
variety. The plants are vigorous, hardy and productive. The berries are large, 
an attractive glossy black color, moderately firm and of excellent quality. The 
season is early or about a week before Naples. 
Taylor. This new red raspberry originating as a cross between Newman and 
Lloyd George is offered this fall—1935, for the first time. It is the most promising 
red raspberry on the Station grounds at the present time, and is offered for trial 
for both market and home garden. The plants are unusually vigorous, hardy, 
productive, tall growing, and increase rapidly. Their resistance to mosaic is not 
yet known. The sturdy canes hold the berries well off the ground. The berries 
ripen shortly before Latham, are large, long conic, bright attractive red, thick 
fleshed, firm, subacid and of excellent quality. They do not cling to the bush as 
tightly as Newburgh. 
Sodus. This variety is the most promising new purple raspberry on the Station 
grounds. It originated from the cross between the Dundee black raspberry and 
the Newburgh red raspberry. The berries are very large, firm, medium purple in 
color, sprightly and good in quality. The plants are .very vigorous, very pro¬ 
ductive, and hardy. The canes may need support owing to the heavy crop and 
the long fruiting laterals. It ripens shortly after Latham. If this variety holds up 
to its present promise, it should replace Columbian of which all stock is diseased, 
and simplify mosaic control in those areas where Columbian is grown extensively. 
STRAWBERRIES 
These varieties were derived from the cross of Howard by Mar¬ 
shall. The plants of this cross are exceptionally vigorous and excel¬ 
lent plant makers; the fruits are large, glossy, very attractive, very 
good in quality, and ripen in midseason.
