The Freestone 
Indian Peach 
In his extensive ex- 
periments in breeding 
better varieties of peaches, 
Mr. Burbank has followed 
his usual custom of going 
to all countries for mate- 
rial with which to make 
crossbreeding or hybridiz- 
ing experiments. This In- 
dian peach has’ been 
utilized chiefly because of 
its freestone quality. The 
tendency to loosen the flesh 
about the stone as the fruit 
ripens is, fortunately,a 
hereditable quality.
