A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
Ovid—ripens in December at Geneva. Its fruit is large and in color resem¬ 
bles that of Bartlett, except that it bears russet patches. The flesh is fine¬ 
grained, tender, nearly white, sweet, agreeably flavored, and good in 
quality. Ovid promises to be a splendid late pear. 
Phelps—is of the type of Bartlett, but the pear ripens much later. The flavor 
is better than that of Bartlett, but the appearance is not so pleasing as the 
color is duller. The flesh is tender and juicy with a pleasant vinous flavor. 
It ripens around Thanksgiving and keeps until Christmas. 
Pulteney—is from a sister plant to Phelps and is of the Bartlett type, with 
fruits a little more regular in outline, skin smoother, but possibly not as 
attractive in color. It ripens 4 weeks later than Bartlett, hence valuable to 
prolong the Bartlett season. 
Willard—ripens about 2 weeks later than Ovid and resembles Bartlett in 
shape and color. Its flesh is yellowish, fine-grained, tender, and juicy. 
Recommended for high quality and lateness—one of the best winter pears. 
PLUMS 
To stimulate anew the growing of plums, this Association offers Albion, 
Hall and Stanley, three highly flavored and handsome plums. Besides these 
choicely good sorts, several other noteworthy plums are listed. For pollination 
purposes plant at least two Japanese plums, and an American plum like Sur¬ 
prise with Monitor and Red Wing. 
Albion —is the latest ripening good plum grown at Geneva. It belongs to the 
Grand Duke type, but its fruits are larger and better in quality. The tree 
is productive, strong, and vigorous. All in all, Albion is one of the most 
remarkable new plums described in many years. 
American Mirabelle—is a small, sweet, yellow Damson. The fruits resemble 
those of the European Mirabelle closely in color, but are much larger. The 
tree is splendid in every way. The flavor is delightfully good and the new 
variety will be appreciated by all lovers of choicely good fruits to eat out 
of hand or for culinary purposes. 
Beauty—is an early Japanese plum originated by Burbank that precedes 
Abundance. The fruits are medium in size, roundish conic, medium to dark 
red, and covered with a lilac bloom ; skin thick and tough; flesh yellowish 
tinged red, very juicy, tender but stringy, subacid to sweet; good; cling¬ 
stone. Beauty is a splendid sort to begin the plum season. 
California Blue—an early-ripening, large, roundish, attractive purple free¬ 
stone plum. Good in quality, altho slightly tart. Worthy of trial for home 
and early markets. 
De Montfort—old French, blue plum that deserves trial by lovers of high- 
quality fruit. Tree hardy, vigorous and productive; fruit medium in size, 
roundish oval, and dark purple; flesh juicy, sweet, rich; freestone. Season 
late August.
