282 THE PEACHES OF NEW YORK 



Triana originated a quarter of a century or more ago at the Glen 

 Saint Mary Nurseries, Glen Saint Mary, Florida. It was introduced in 

 1 892 by the originators. The American Pomological Society added Triana 

 to its fruit-list in 1909. 



Tree of medium size, upright-spreading, open-topped, productive; branches greenish- 

 red; branchlets slender, long, vnth a tendency to rebranch, dark red with some olive- 

 green, rough, glabrous, with numerous conspicuous, large, raised lenticels. 



Leaves five and one-half inches long, one and five-eighths inches wide, folded upward 

 and recurled, slightly lanceolate, thin, leathery ; upper surface dark green, smooth; lower 

 surface grayish-green, with prominent mid-rib; margin finely serrate; petiole three-eighths 

 inch long, with one to five small, reniform glands variable in position. 



Flower-buds half-hardy, .short, pubescent, conical, pltimp, usually appressed ; blossoms 

 one and one-half inches across, pale red, in dense clusters, usually single; pedicels long, 

 slender, glabrous, greenish; calyx-tube reddish-green, dark greenish-yellow within, cam- 

 panulate, glabrous; calyx-lobes acute, glabrous within, pubescent without; petals oval 

 to long-ovate, tapering to short claws; filaments seven-sixteenths inch long, shorter than 

 the petals; pistil pubescent at the ovary, often longer than the stamens. 



Fruit matures in late mid-season; two and one-eighth inches long, one and thirteen- 

 sixteenths inches wide, oval, compressed, with unequal halves; cavity shallow, flaring; 

 suture of medium depth; apex a long, mucronate tip; color creamy-white, blushed, 

 splashed and mottled with bright red; pubescence short, fine; skin thin, tender, adhering 

 to the pulp; flesh white, faintly stained with red near the pit, tender, sweet, mild; good 

 in quality; stone nearly free, one and one-fourth inches long, one and three-fourths inches 

 wide, oval or elliptical, usually with pitted surfaces; ventral .suture deeply grooved along

Triumph is an extra early, yellow-fleshed peach so inferior in 

 appearance and quality of fruit and so subject to brown-rot that it is not 

 worth growing in any but the most northern peach-regions where, because of 

 great hardiness in wood and bud, it becomes a valuable variety. It is grown 

 more or less, however, both north and south because it is one of the earliest 

 yellow-fleshed sorts and because the trees bear regularly and abundantly. 

 The dark color and the great amount of fuzzy pubescence detract materially 

 from the appearance of the peach. The specimens shown in the color- 

 plate are from unthinned trees; the size can be increased by thinning. 

 Small pits somewhat offset the small size of the fruits. The peaches, if not
