ricty has been largely supplanted by the following sub-varieties, which are 

 seedlings from it. 



Selma Cling. Originated on Lewis ranch at Selma and introduced by 

 Fancher Creek Nurseries. Golden yellow, very uniform; somewhat flat- 

 tened- slight color on the sunny side; flesh clear yellow to pit, fine grained, 

 excellent. Cans with clear syrup and no rag. Ripens between Tuscan and 

 Phillips. ^ 



Sellers' Golden Cling (California). Originated on the farm of S. A. 

 Sellers Contra Costa County, and introduced by James Shinn. Very large, 

 rich golden color; tree healthy; one of the very best of clings; ripens with 

 Late Crawford. 



Runyon's Orange Cling (California). "Originated with Mr. Sol Runyon 

 on the Sacramento River. Superior to the common Orange Cling. Run- 

 yon's Orange Cling has globose glands, and is not subject to mildew like 

 the common sort. Fruit very large, yellow, with a dark crimson cheek; 

 rich, sugary, and vinous flavor. Highly esteemed and extensively planted 

 in the Sacramento region and elsewhere." John Rock. 



Nichols' Orange Cling (California). Originated by Joseph Nichols, of 

 Niles, introduced by James Shinn. Large, yellow, with purple cheek; flesh 

 yellow and good. Tree healthy and a heavy bearer. 



Susquehanna (Pennsylvania). Large, nearly globular, suture half- 

 round; skin rich yellow, nearly covered with red; flesh yellow, sweet, juicy, 

 with rich, vinous flavor; freestone; tree healthy. Very widely distributed 

 and popular. 



Lovell (California). Originated as a chance seedling with G. W. This- 

 sell, and named by him in 1882; propagated by Leonard Coates, of Napa. 

 Yellow, freestone; size uniformly large, almost perfectly round; flesh fine, 

 texture firm, solid, clear yellow to pit; tree a good grower and bearer; 

 superior for canning and shipping and dries well. Said to curl in some 

 places. "The richest peach I ever saw on a tray." E. A. Bonine, Los An- 



eles County. The most popular yellow freestone for canning and drying. 

 ometimes reported as "heavier" than the Muir. 



McKevitt's Cling (California). Originated as a chance seedling in apri- 

 cot orchard planted by M. R. Miller, on place owned later by A. McKevitt, 

 Vaca Valley; named in 1882 by nurserymen who propagated it. A white 

 clingstone; flesh very firm, fine-grained, sugary, and rich, high flavor, white 

 to the pit; skin strong, and fruit excellent for shipping or canning; tree 

 remarkably strong in growth and free from disease. 



Wylie Cling. An old seedling by John Wylie, Green Valley, Sonoma 

 County, increasing in popularity in northern Sonoma County as superior 

 to Orange Cling in not splitting at the pit, and not dropping from the tree. 



California; syn. Edward's Cling (California). "Originated in Sacramen- 

 to. Very large, round, regular, nearly covered with dark, rich red; flesh 

 deep yellow; flavor delicate, rich vinous." C. W. Reed.

 little flattened; yellow, with red cheek; flesh yellow, melting, sweet, rich 

 and fragrant; freestone; not subject to curl-leaf.

 ing beyond the apex; skin downy, creamy yellow, rich, clear, crimson 

 cheek; flesh deep yellow, red at the pit; juicy, rich, sweet, vinous; free- 

 stone; a standard late peach in California; tree very healthy. 



Phillips' Cling (California). Originated with Joseph Phillips, of Sutter 

 County; propagated by J. T. Bogue of Marysville. Fine large yellow cling, 

 no color at pit, which is very small; exceedingly rich and high colored; 

 described by Mr. Skinner, superintendent Marysville Cannery, as the best 

 peach he ever used. The most popular yellow clingstone. Ripens pro- 

 gressively so that picking can coyer two weeks without falling from tree. 

 Requires good land and ample moisture. Haus's and Sim's cling are being 

 planted as "improved Phillips."
