A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
longer in common storage. It has the aroma of Delicious but is more 
sprightly. Tree bears early, annually and heavily, and is resistant to scab. 
Red Duchess (Van Buren)—red sport of Duchess that appeared in J. P. Van 
Buren’s orchard at Stockport. Fruit resembles the Duchess*except that the 
red is solid. Will pollinate its parent. The most attractive Red Duchess 
tested on Station grounds. 
Red Gravenstein—differs from the old Gravenstein only in the solid, dark 
red fruits, the parent fruit being light red and much striped with yellow 
and green. All of the Gravensteins are most excellent autumn apples, but 
the new one is so much superior in appearance to any of its kin that in 
the future its culture alone should be recommended. 
Red Sauce—is a large, roundish conic apple, nearly covered with solid red. 
s 
The flesh is coarse, tender, crisp, juicy, briskly subacid, aromatic, and red 
to the core-lines, making a red sauce when cooked. The crop ripens in 
October. Red Sauce is a most interesting and desirable curiosity. 
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 is particularly recommended 
where a more highly colored Spy is desired. 
Sweet Delicious—fruits are flatter than those of Delicious—large and attrac¬ 
tive 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 Delicious is now voted as our best winter 
sweet. 
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 hardy, 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 splen¬ 
didly flavored. The tree is especially vigorous and hardy. The season is 
about the middle of September. Young America and Dolgo should be 
planted as ornamentals as well as for their 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.
