Ameliaberta is a cross between Amelia II and Elberta. The variety has little or 

 no value in this State. It originated with J. H. Jones, Hemdon, Georgia, and was 

 introduced in 1893. In 1899, it was given a place in the fruit-list of the American 

 Pomological Society where it remained until 1909. On the Station grounds the fruit 

 ripens with Elberta and does not equal that variety. Tree vigorous, upright-spreading; 

 leaves oval to obovate-lanceolate, usually with reniform glands'; flowers appear late; fruit 

 large, roundish; suture shallow, deeper at the apex; skin yellow, washed and splashed 

 with crimson; flesh yellow, with red radiating from the pit, stringy, juicy, sprightly; 

 quality good; stone free, large, broadly oval; ripens the first half of September.
