NEW VARIETIES 
APRICOT 
+Doty—Named for Mr. Doty of Oaks Corners, N. Y. who has original tree. 
Tree is very large, vigorous, hardy and productive. Fruit is medium in 
size, attractive, light golden yellow with few reddish markings, juicy, 
sweet, nearly free from fibre and very good in quality. Excellent for home 
and local markets. 
CET ARIS 
+Deacon—originated as a chance seedling more than 40 years ago in the 
State of Washington. For a long-time it remained almost unnoticed until 
it was discovered that it is a good pollinizer for Bing, Lambert, and 
Napoleon. Now it is widely grown on the Pacific Coast. The fruit ripens 
in midseason, slightly earlier than Bing. The cherries are large, broadly 
cordate, of the type of Bing, very dark red to black, with firm, dark red 
flesh and juice. The quality is very good, not quite as sweet as Bing. Well 
worthy of trial to precede Bing in season. 
Noble (syn. Tradescant Heart, St. Margaret)—a late dark-colored firm- 
fleshed sweet cherry for market and home use. Its season of ripening is 
between Schmidt and Geant d’Hedelfingen. The fruit is large, heart- 
shaped, slightly flattened at the apex, dark purplish red, firm-fleshed, and 
of high quality. The fruits seem to crack less than those of several of the 
late sweet cherries. It is an old English variety greatly esteemed in Eng- 
land but never disseminated in the United States where it deserves a 
place along with the other choicely good late sweet cherries.
