276 FRUIT-GROWING 



Crawford. Like all peaches of that sort it is 

 of the very finest quality and should be 

 more thoroughly tested in various sections. 

 According to Hedrick it promises to excel the 

 old Crawfords in adaptability and productive- 

 ness, 



Salwey 



I have already mentioned the fact that prac- 

 tically all of our commercial peach varieties 

 have originated in this country. The Salwey 

 is the only one that I know of that was intro- 

 duced, having been brought from England 

 many years ago. It is a good yellow variety, 

 ripening nearly a month after Elberta, and of 

 excellent quality for a market peach. In certain 

 districts subject to spring frost the crop is 

 sometimes lost, but aside from this inclination 

 to tenderness the variety is excellent from 

 almost every standpoint. Personally I would 

 not plant a peach orchard without a liberal 

 number of these trees. They ripen at a time 

 when other peaches are scarce and usually 

 sell at a good price. The variety was form- 

 erly known as "Salway," but the spelling has 

 recently been changed to the form I have used. 

 It was named for a certain Colonel Salwey, 

 and the presumption is that the Colonel knew 

 how to spell his name and that nothing would 

 be gained by an American revision of it.
