A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
APPLES 
McIntosh and Delicious types of apples now find greatest favor r 
yet all of the varieties of these two types have faults or do not cover 
apple seasons and purposes. This Association is offering several 
improved varieties of each type and a few other new apples. All are 
noteworthy additions to the apple orchard. 
Carlton ripens one month later than Red Astrachan which it resembles. It is 
large, round-conic, and an attractive dark red. The flesh is white, tender, juicy, 
subacid, and of Astrachan flavor. The tree is vigorous and bears annually. 
Carlton is recommended for home use and for roadside markets. 
Cortland is an improved late McIntosh. The fruits of the two varieties are 
similar, but those of Cortland are more oblate, average larger, and are more uni¬ 
form in size; they have more color and the red is lighter and brighter and the 
stripings and splashes are laid on differently; the taste of Cortland can hardly be 
distinguished from that of McIntosh; the flesh is firmer but just as juicy; the sea¬ 
son is several weeks later; the apples do not drop so readily and ship better. Cort¬ 
land is the best apple introduction of the twentieth century. 
Who can name an early apple with fewer faults of fruit than a McIntosh ready 
to eat in August? That is what Early McIntosh is. Besides pleasing the taste, 
this apple pleases the eye. The red is handsome; the uniform round-oblate shape 
is most attractive and permits packing in various packages in which apples fit well 
and look well. The trees are vigorous, hardy, healthy, productive, and bear 
annually. The parents of Early McIntosh are Yellow Transparent and McIntosh. 
The light color of the wood and the leaf betoken Yellow Transparent; the shape and 
frame work of the tree, especially the heavy-butted branches, are like those of 
McIntosh. The crop ripens 10 days later than that of Yellow Transparent. 
Of all the McIntosh seedlings originated at the Geneva Station, Kendall, the 
last one to be introduced, is by far the most attractive. It is handsomely colored 
over the entire surface with dark red covered with a rich bloom. It has attracted 
more attention from fruit growers than any other new apple. Its season is about 
that of McIntosh, but it keeps a little longer. The apples are large, trim in out¬ 
line, and possess the whitish, fine-grained flesh of McIntosh. The flavor is much 
the same but more sprightly than that of McIntosh. The apples hang better than 
McIntosh but not as well as Cortland. Kendall promises to be the “apple of 
apples” in the McIntosh season.
