Pern AT OIG, OK NEW FRUITS 

russet, and has a fine, melting, tender, juicy flesh. The season is a month 
later than Bartlett. 
Gorham—ripens its fruit 2 weeks later than Bartlett and keeps a month 
longer. The fruits resemble those of Bartlett in size, color, and shape. The 
flavor is sweet and vinous with a very marked and pleasing aroma. The 
flesh is white, tender, buttery, and juicy—a combination which, with the 
rich flavor and spicy aroma, makes this one of the very best-flavored pears 
of its season. Plant Gorham for pears to follow Bartlett. Valuable for 
dessert and canning. 
Ovid—tripens 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. Its ap- 
pearance is not as pleasing as that of Bartlett 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—tripens about 2 weeks later than Ovid and resembles Bartlett in 
shape and color. The surface is uneven and irregular. Its flesh is yellowish, 
fine-grained, tender, juicy, with a piquant flavor. It is recommended for its 
lateness in season. 
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 different Japanese plums, and an American plum 
like Surprise 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 
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
