upon the support of its members. This Association is also dependent upon a 
supply of new and promising new fruits. We wish to call your attention to the 
fact that the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station has thousands of 
seedlings of various fruits either fruiting or coming into bearing. Many of 
these seedlings have already been selected for propagation and distribution 
and therefore we can assure the members that they can look forward to many 
promising new fruits in the near future. 
In addition to the seedlings on the breeding grounds, there are many chance 
seedlings growing throughout the country, Some of these seedlings may have 
possibilities and the best should be studied critically. The Fruit Testing As- 
sociation requests that such fruits be either sent in or brought in for exam- 
ination. If the seedlings are worthy of trial the Experiment Station will be 
pleased to try them out in their test plats. 
NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
The evaluation of a new fruit requires extensive testing under varied soil and 
climatic conditions. These new kinds under number have shown promise at Ge- 
neva but they may have little or no merit in some other locality. Numbered 
kinds are not to be distributed or exploited until named. Reports on their per- 
formance under your conditions are solicited, for by pooling our information 
the sooner we can decide whether the fruit is worthy of naming and general 
distribution.
