EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 149 



Ford, New. — Ripens with and resembles Engle Mammoth, and seems to 

 be fully equal except in quality. 



Ford 1. — An attractive, white-fleshed peach of good quality; seems 

 worthy of a place in the commercial orchard; ripens just before Lewis; i's 

 entirely free from rot and very productive. 



Ford 2. — A late-ripening peach of large size and good quality. Unpro- 

 ductive; valueless. 



Ford 3. — A late- ripening, white-fleshed peach of poor quality. Not 

 valuable. 



For<l Red. — An attractive, white-fieshed peach ripening in early Sep- 

 tember ; productive, but less profitable than the yellow varieties ripening 

 at that time. 



Gold Drop. — Hardy and productive to a fault. It has been one of the 

 most profitable varieties grown, but is now less highly esteemed except 

 when heavily pruned and thinned. 



Greensboro. — Ripens with Rivers and does not excel that variety. Not 

 particularly desirable. 



Gudgeon. — A very large, late, white peach of low quality. Not de- 

 sirable. 



Haas. — Ripens with Hale and is practically identical with that variety. 



Husted (101). — A medium to large peach resembling Chili in appear- 

 ance, but ripens a week to ten days earlier. Of some value as a market 

 sort ; a good record here. 



Ice Mountain. — Of no value here; always sets a full crop but have been 

 frozen until this season when a number of baskets were picked on Decem- 

 ber 1. Of medium size; color, clear, rich yellow; a freestone; of poor 

 quality. The fruit kept in the cellar until January. 



Iron Mountain. — A late-ripening white peach of low quality. Worthless. 



Jersey Yellow. — Of Smock type and season, and no improvement on that 

 variety. Inclined to be unproductive. Valueless. 



Juno. — A late-ripening yellow clingstone of poor quality; ripens with 

 Smock. Not valuable. 



Kalamazoo. — A very profitable market variety which should be largely 

 planted. Well liked by canning factories. Vigorous and usually pro- 

 ductive. 



Lafayette. — Of medium size and attractive in appearance. Bearing at 

 the time it does, with Hills Chili, it is not likely to prove of much value. 



La Fleur. — An attractive fruit; ripens with Chili, but is less productive 

 than that variety. 



Lemon Free. — A large, greenish-yellow peach; ripens with Smock, not 

 as attractive in appearance but hardier and more productive. Considered 

 by some a valuable late market variety. 



Lewis. — Has been a very profitable market sort, but rots badly. 



Longhurst. — Of the Chili type and season. Seems to be an improve- 

 ment, being smoother, larger and higher colored. 



McCollister. — Of the largest size, attractive in appearance and of good 

 quality ; ripens just before Smock and is a valuable market variety. 



New Prolific. — Bore a full crop of fine-looking peaches this season; 

 ripens with Engle Mammoth; equaled that variety in every way this 

 season except in productiveness. 



Oceana (Husted 130).— One of the newer varieties; ripens just before 

 Engle Mammoth. The fruit is large, yellow with red cheek ; of very good 

 quality. Seems to be a valuable variety for market purposes.
