A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
Red Spy is a typical Spy, except in color. The color is a solid bright red without 
either stripes or splashes. Red Spy, with its beautiful fruits, should give new life 
to the Spy type of apple. It puts the old Spy out of commission. 
Sweet Delicious fruits are flatter than those of Delicious—large and attractive 
in size, color, and shape, with the sweet aromatic flavor of Delicious. The variety 
is an apple for home use where it will be chiefly appreciated for dessert and baking. 
Sweet McIntosh suggests McIntosh 
in appearance, flavor, and aroma. 
The variety is, of course, primarily 
adapted for home use—for baking and 
to eat out of hand. It should become a 
splendid home and roadside market 
sort. 
CRAB APPLES 
Dolgo is a handsome red crab apple 
imported from Russia in 1897 by Pro¬ 
fessor N. E. Hansen of the South 
Dakota Experiment Station. The fruit 
is full of juice, jellies easily, and makes 
a rich, ruby-red jelly of beautiful 
color and excellent flavor. The tree 
is hard} 7 , vigorous, and productive; the season early September. Splendid for 
cider as well as jelly. 
Young America produces abundantly, attractive red fruits of excellent size and 
quality. Jelly made from the fruit is a clear, beautiful red and splendidly flavored. 
The tree is especially vigorous and hardy. The season is about the middle of 
September. Young America should be planted as an ornamental as well as for its 
fruit. 
CHERRIES 
In the breeding of cherries, the New York State Agricultural 
Experiment Station has so far accomplished little in a field where 
much might be done. Only one cherry bred at the Station can be 
offered, but this one'—Seneca'—is especially meritorious. Several 
other noteworthy new cherries, all of which have been thoroughly 
tested on the Station grounds, are offered to cherry growers by the 
New York Fruit Testing Association. 
Early Rivers originated many years ago in England where it is widely planted 
as an early black cherry. The tree is vigorous and productive. The large, hand-
