A CATALOG OF NEW FKUITS 
APPLES 
Seven new apples recently have been named by the pomologists at the 
State Experiment Station and have been recommended to the association as 
sorts worthy of trial. Two of them, Redfield and Redford, are ornamental 
types, recommended for their beautiful flowers and dark red fruits with red 
flesh. These 2 sorts are for the lovers of handsome ornamentals. 
The other 5 new apples, Alton, Dunning, Greendale, Redhook and Webster 
are recommended for use for the market and in the home. Each serves a 
special purpose and in the opinion of the Station pomologists they should 
be tried by those to whom their descriptions appeal. 
Alton—is a promising, medium-sized, red apple ripening early in August 
ahead of Early McIntosh and just after Crimson Beauty. Its chief claim 
for consideration is that the flavor is sufficiently mild and aromatic that 
the fruits can be eaten with relish and they possess enough acidity to be 
good cookers as well. Sorts like Crimson Beauty are too tart for dessert. 
The apples ripen over a fairly long season and for this reason are espe¬ 
cially valuable for the roadside market. 
Dunning—is the earliest ripening red sweet apple yet to be discovered. 
It ripens very early in August ahead of Sweet Bough and can stand two or 
even three pickings. It is a very handsome red striped apple of medium size 
and excellent quality. Patrons of roadside markets are seeking an early 
sweet apple and this attractive red sort is destined to meet this demand. 
Greendale—its name suggests green color and it is handsome green in color 
like its parent, Lodi, while it is shaped like its other parent, McIntosh. 
The combination of these two characters has resulted in an attractive, 
trimly shaped, green apple. Its quality, too, is as good as its appearance — 
excellent for both eating and cooking. To extend the season of Lodi this 
sort is unsurpassed for a roadside trade which desires a good green apple 
late in August. 
Redhook—so named because of its very handsome dark red color and heavy 
bloom, attractive color being an outstanding characteristic. Sometimes the 
flesh of the apples is decidedly red. The fruit averages about as large as 
McIntosh and ripens between Milton and McIntosh. It is sprightly in flavor 
but highly aromatic — an excellent dessert apple for the home and road¬ 
side market. 
Webster—is one of the latest keeping of all apples. The fruit makes an 
excellent showing on the market because of large size, trim shape, and 
handsome rather solid bright red color. It has excellent culinary possi¬ 
bilities and while not a high-quality eating apple, it is a valuable market 
sort for cooking late in the season when there is a scarcity of good cooking 
apples. The variety is a triploid so that ample provision should be made 
for cross-pollination.
