Everbearing originated in the garden of a Mrs. Page, Cuthbert, Georgia, in 1885, 

 and was named and disseminated by P. J. Berckmans about 1897. A marked characteristic 

 of this variety is that some trees have a long blossoming and fruiting period.' It is too 

 tender for the North but is recommended for southern peach-districts, having been placed 

 on the fruit-list of the American Pomological Society in 1909. Tree vigorous, compact, 

 productive; glands reniform; flowers large; fruit roundish-conical, large, the later-ripening 

 fruits being smaller; cavity large, deep and abrupt; suture shallow, with a prominent 

 apex; skin thick, tough, thickly covered with long pubescence, greenish-white, striped 

 and mottled with purplish-red; flesh white, considerably stained and veined with red, 

 meaty, juicy, subacid; stone oval, free; season July ist to September or later in southern 

 Georgia.
