Doty—is named for Mr. Doty, formerly of Oaks Corners, N. Y. as the original 
tree grew on his place. 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. Ex- 
cellent for home and local markets. 
Geneva—was grown from seed collected near Frascati, Italy. Sent out by 
U.S.D.A. as No. 34265. Fruit large, roundish, compressed, slightly pointed, 
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—has large, roundish, yellow and blushed fruit. The flesh is yellow, 
slightly fibrous, sweet and good in quality, and free from the stone. The tree 
is strong, vigorous and productive. This variety originated with the late 
George W. Henderson of Geneva, N. Y. 
New York 346—first fruited in 1949 and has borne large crops regularly since 
then, except in 1950 when even the hardiest apricots did not fruit at Geneva. 
The fruit is large and attractive. The flesh is very good quality, free from 
the pit and free from fiber. It ripens about 10 days after Doty. 
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. 
To insure a full crop of pears, two or more varieties should be placed close 
together. Furthermore there are a few varieties which do not produce good 
pollen. Waite is the only pear of this type in the following list. 
The Association is listing the following varieties in order of ripening season 
from early to late.
