A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
Fredonia is a very large, late dark red gooseberry of the English type. The 
fruit is good in quality and attractive in appearance, and keeps and ships well. 
The plants are vigorous, productive, and of an open habit of growth that makes 
harvesting easy. Every garden should have a few Fredonias. 
Poorman possesses the highest quality of fruit and one of the largest, healthiest 
and most vigorous bushes of any variety in the Station collection. The fruit is 
large, red, and very attractive. The plants are productive. This is a splendid 
gooseberry in heavy soils. 
RASPBERRIES 
The Station has introduced several new raspberries which in some 
respects are def nitely superior to the standard sorts in the trade. All 
of the following are offered as well worthy of trial for the purposes 
indicated. 
BLACK RASPBERRIES 
Bristol is one of the best, if not the best, black raspberries being grown at 
Geneva. In season it is a week earlier than Naples, which makes it a good variety 
to plant with that sort to lengthen the season. The berries are large, firm, fairly 
glossy, attractive, and of excellent quality. The bushes are hardy, vigorous, and 
bear very heavy crops. Bristol is worth extensive trial for market and home use. 
Dundee is a promising new black raspberry notable for its high quality. The 
berries are large, glossy black, attractive, moderately firm, mildly subacid and 
very good. The plants are tall, vigorous, productive, and moderately resistant 
to mosaic. Dundee is well worth trying for market or home use. 
Evans is another early black raspberry ripening with Bristol that is worthy 
of trial for home use and market. The berries are large, very glossy, only moderate¬ 
ly firm, and of excellent quality. The plants are vigorous, hardy and productive. 
Naples is proving to be a very satisfactory late black raspberry for market 
purposes. The berries are large, firm, glossy, attractive and of good quality. 
It is two or three days later than Cumberland in season, or about a week later 
than Bristol. The plants are vigorous, productive, hardy, and resistant to an- 
thracnose. 
RED RASPBERRIES 
Indian Summer, the first fall bearing or so-called everbearing red raspberry to 
be named by the Station is decidedly superior to the varieties of its class now in the 
trade, namely Ranere (St. Regis) and the Erskine Park-LaFrance group of fall 
bearing sorts. The berries are large, roundish conic, slightly irregular, medium 
red, rather soft, crumble slightly, and are good in quality. The summer crop ripens 
early, or soon after the June variety. The autumn crop starts early in September 
and continues until a severe frost, the bulk of the fall crop ripening during October. 
The plants are hardy at Geneva, vigorous, above medium height, and bear heavy 
crops. Indian Summer is rather soft and dark for commercial purposes, but 
is well worthy of trial in the home garden.
