A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
round-cordate, purple-black, with juicy, melting flesh, and a rich, sweet 
flavor. The pit is free and the skin does not crack. The tree is very vigor¬ 
ous, productive, and has an upright-spreading growth. 
Victor —originated in 1916 at the Horticultural Experiment Station at Vine- 
land, Ontario. The fruit resembles that of Napoleon and ripens midway 
between Napoleon and Governor Wood. The cherries are large, medium 
firm-fleshed, light-colored and of excellent quality. The tree is large, vig¬ 
orous, and productive. Victor is a splendid new sweet cherry which every¬ 
body will like. 
Vineland (160133)—originated at the Horticultural Experiment Station at 
Vineland, Ontario, as “An open-fertilized seedling of Windsor. Fruit large, 
firm-fleshed, same color as Windsor. Tree vigorous, productive; season of 
Windsor”. 
NECTARINES 
A nectarine is a smooth-skinned peach, a sport of the peach. To those who 
object to the fuzzy skin of a peach the nectarine is pleasing. The flavor of the 
sport is distinctive and most agreeable. Nectarines add variety and charm to 
the list of hardy fruits. All that is needed to make them as popular as peaches 
is a greater number of varieties adapted to American conditions. 
Hunter —is said to have come from an Elberta pit. The tree is vigorous and 
productive. The fruit is large, round, yellow with a heavy blush. The flesh 
is free from the stone, with the true nectarine flavor, although somewhat 
tart. It ripens in midseason. 
John Rivers —is an early variety, ripening the first week of August. The tree 
is small but productive. The fruit is of medium size, nearly covered with- 
red, and is of very good quality; the flesh is white and adherent to the 
stone. This variety begins the nectarine season. 
Rivers Orange —is a yellow-fleshed nectarine which ripens in early mid¬ 
season. The fruit is a freestone nearly covered with a dark red blush. No 
nectarine has a richer, sweeter flavor. This is one of the choicely good 
European sorts. 
Sure Crop —was imported from New Zealand by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture and so far is the most promising nectarine at the New York 
Experiment Station. The tree is vigorous and productive. The fruits are 
large, roundish, white and overlaid with very attractive red. The flesh is 
firm, tender, free from the stone, and very pleasing in flavor; late mid¬ 
season. If only one nectarine can be grown Sure Crop should be selected. 
PEACHES 
Thanks mainly to the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and the 
Horticultural Experiment Station, Vineland, Canada, we now have a succes¬ 
sion of peaches thruout the peach season.
