A very productive late variety, highly esteemed for canning. It is considered a 

 profitable variety by many peach growers, but unless given the best culture, the fruit 

 is small and unattractive in appearance.

 variety have proven exceptionally hardy in Michigan.

 able, ending in a pointed apex; color, dull yellow, with dark red cheek in sun; down,
