A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
APPLES 
Some new apples have recently been named by the pomologists at the State 
Experiment Station and are recommended by the association as sorts worthy 
of trial. Two of them, Redfield and Redford, are ornamental types, recom¬ 
mended for their beautiful flowers and dark red fruits with red flesh. These 
two sorts are for the lovers of handsome ornamentals. 
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. 
Carlton —ripens one month later than Red Astrachan which it resembles. It 
is large, round-conic, and an attractive dark red. The flesh is white, tender, 
juicy, subacid, and of Astrachan flavor. The tree is vigorous and bears 
annually. Carlton is recommended for home use and for roadside markets. 
Cortland —the fruits of Cortland and its parent McIntosh are similar, but 
those of Cortland are more oblate, average larger, and are more uniform 
in size; they have more color and the red is lighter and brighter and the 
stripings and splashes are laid on differently; the taste of Cortland is much 
like that of McIntosh altho distinctive; the flesh is firmer but just as juicy; 
the apples do not drop so readily and ship better. Cortland is the best apple 
introduction of the twentieth century. 
Crimson Beauty —a very early red apple from Nova Scotia. Tree is hardy, 
productive and an annual bearer. The fruit is large, slightly flattened, 
sprightly and good in quality. Of value for roadside trade and the home. 
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. 
Early McIntosh —resembles its McIntosh parent in appearance but is less 
aromatic and more sprightly. The red is handsome; the uniform round- 
oblate shape is most attractive and permits packing in various packages 
in which apples fit well and look well. The trees are vigorous, hardy, 
healthy, productive and bear annually if thinned early and severely. The 
light color of the wood and the leaf betoken Yellow Transparent; the shape 
and frame work of the tree, especially the heavy-butted branches, are like
