^ This list includes the most of the varieties planted in the several 

 peach-producing valleys of Washington. The dates of ripening 

 vary somewhat depending on the conditions in the different sec- 

 tions, both in the same and different valleys. The Elberta is the 

 main crop. 



2 In the region covered by this list the aim of most peach-growers 

 is to ship continuously throughout the season from the last of July, 

 when the shipments from the large southern peach districts cease. 

 The list includes the varieties largely planted for this purpose. 

 Obviously the exact time of ripening of the different varieties is 

 influenced by elevation and other local conditions. The dates 

 given represent as nearly as it is possible to make them about an 

 average for the region.
