tree is productive and the fruit is large, roundish oval, yellow fleshed, and 
a freestone. It ripens 3 weeks before Elberta and is superior to its parent 
not only in quality but in color as well. 
Veteran—originated in 1919 as a cross between Vaughan and Early Elberta. 
The fruit is large, round, yellow fleshed, usually a freestone, and far supe- 
rior to Elberta in quality. Since it ripens a few days later than Valiant, it 
makes a desirable sort to follow that variety. Hardy in bud.

yellow with a blush and dots; flesh yellow, fine-grained, firm, sweet, very 
good and free from the stone. Excellent reports have been received in regard 
to its productiveness and merit. 
Henderson—tree strong, vigorous grower and productive; fruit large, round- 
ish, yellow and blushed; flesh yellow, slightly fibrous, sweet, good in qual- 
ity, and free from stone. Owing to size and flavor, it is deemed worthy of

PEARS 
The New York State Agricultural Experiment Station is trying to breed 
pears less susceptible to blight than sorts now grown. Seckel, being fairly 
free from blight and with splendid tree and fruit characters, and the Bartlett, 
the leading pear, have been used extensively as parents. 
The Association is listing the following varieties in order of ripening season 
from early to late.
