OTHER NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
Utility Plum—originated by Thomas Laxton, England, by crossing Jefferson 
with Peach and introduced about 1915. Fruit large, almost oval, deep cyc- 
lamen purple with bloom; flesh tender, juicy, sweet and fair flavor for 
dessert. Season mid-August. 
Geneva 884 Nectarine—is a seedling of an unnamed seedling (Big Boy x 
Schumaker) selfed. It is our earliest nectarine and ripens with Mikado. Its 
fruit is medium, white-fleshed and a clingstone. It is recommended for 
trial due to its high quality, hardiness and freedom from brown rot. 
PHAGES 
Afterglow—is a seedling of J. H. Hale x 27116 (Slappey «x Dewey) from the 
New Jersey Station. It is a large yellow-fleshed freestone which ripens a 
few days later than Elberta. It is a high quality peach which looks prom- 
ising to extend the peach season. 
‘ Earlyvee—is a very early yellow-fleshed peach from the Vineland Station, 
obtained from a seed of an open-pollinated Golden Jubilee. It ripens about 
a week earlier than Mikado and is a freestone when dead ripe. The quality 
is good for such an early peach. Its main fault is that its skin is very tender 
and requires careful handling. 
Jerseyland—is a seedling of 104325 [J. H. Hale x (Slappey x Dewey)] open 
pollinated from the New Jersey Station. It ripens about one week ahead of 
Golden Jubilee. The fruit is very dark red, yellow-fleshed and firm for an 
early peach. Reported as a freestone in New Jersey but clings at Geneva 
unless dead ripe. As hardy in bud as Redhaven and about the same season. 
Prairie Dawn—is an Illinois station seedling obtained from Valiant crossed 
with Halehaven. It is an early yellow-fleshed, clingstone of fair quality and 
a rather coarse, soft flesh. It is one of the hardiest yellow-fleshed varieties 
and ripens 10 days before Redhaven.
