  PEACH 
  

  

  MARPRIDE 
  (0183) 
  Another 
  product 
  of 
  the 
  Maryland 
  

   Breeding 
  program. 
  Ripens 
  just 
  before 
  Marqueen 
  and 
  will 
  

   be 
  best 
  remembered 
  for 
  its 
  excellent 
  quality 
  and 
  size. 
  

   Color 
  is 
  very 
  bright 
  for 
  a 
  late 
  variety. 
  Trees 
  vigorous 
  and 
  

   productive. 
  

  

  SO 
  GOOD 
  (oi64) 
  A 
  new 
  yellow 
  freestone 
  from 
  

   Maryland 
  ripening 
  about 
  with 
  Rio-Oso-Gem. 
  Fruits 
  are 
  

   large, 
  highly 
  colored, 
  and 
  most 
  nearly 
  resemble 
  Red- 
  

   skin. 
  It 
  crops 
  annually, 
  with 
  good 
  yields. 
  Trees 
  are 
  

   vigorous 
  and 
  healthy, 
  more 
  upright 
  than 
  Redskin. 
  So 
  

   Good 
  should 
  have 
  a 
  place 
  in 
  your 
  plantings. 
  

  

  MARQUEEN 
  (0166) 
  Just 
  introduced 
  by 
  the 
  University 
  

   of 
  Maryland, 
  Marqueen 
  is 
  certain 
  to 
  become 
  popular 
  

   almost 
  overnight. 
  It 
  ripens 
  2 
  to 
  5»days 
  after 
  So 
  Good 
  and 
  

   just 
  a 
  bit 
  later 
  than 
  Rio-Oso-Gem. 
  The 
  fruits 
  are 
  well 
  

   colored, 
  of 
  good 
  size 
  and 
  appearance, 
  and 
  make 
  a 
  beautiful 
  

   pack. 
  We 
  think 
  Marqueen 
  is 
  just 
  the 
  peach 
  to 
  extend 
  

   your 
  season 
  for 
  high 
  quality 
  fruit. 
  

  

  MONROE 
  (0169) 
  A 
  new 
  late 
  season 
  yellow 
  freestone 
  

   from 
  Virginia. 
  Monroe 
  ripens 
  about 
  6 
  days 
  after 
  Rio- 
  

   Oso-Gem. 
  The 
  fruits 
  are 
  above 
  average 
  in 
  size, 
  have 
  bright 
  

   red 
  color 
  and 
  are 
  very 
  firm. 
  The 
  flesh 
  has 
  good 
  texture, 
  

   and 
  the 
  quality 
  and 
  flavor 
  are 
  superior 
  to 
  Rio-Oso- 
  

   Gem. 
  Trees 
  of 
  Monroe 
  produce 
  only 
  a 
  moderate 
  set 
  of 
  

   buds 
  that 
  have 
  shown 
  above 
  average 
  tolerance 
  to 
  spring 
  

   frost. 
  However, 
  the 
  trees 
  are 
  reliable 
  producers 
  of 
  large, 
  

   handsome 
  fruits. 
  

  

  MARSUN 
  (0171) 
  This 
  new 
  peach 
  variety 
  was 
  intro- 
  

   duced 
  by 
  the 
  men 
  from 
  Maryland 
  because 
  of 
  its 
  very 
  late 
  

   maturing 
  season. 
  Marsun 
  is 
  a 
  highly 
  colored 
  peach 
  that 
  

   ripens 
  28 
  to 
  30 
  days 
  after 
  Redskin. 
  It 
  is 
  best 
  suited 
  for 
  

   the 
  Maryland 
  area 
  and 
  points 
  south. 
  We 
  do 
  think 
  it 
  

   worthy 
  of 
  trial 
  in 
  other 
  late 
  peach 
  producing 
  areas.

  PLANTING 
  TIPS 
  

  

  (1.) 
  Dig 
  a 
  large 
  hole. 
  Put 
  topsoil 
  in 
  a 
  separate 
  pile. 
  

   (2.) 
  Trim 
  broken 
  roots 
  away 
  and 
  spread 
  them 
  evenly. 
  

   Position 
  tree 
  so 
  that 
  final 
  depth 
  will 
  be 
  just 
  a 
  bit 
  deeper 
  

   than 
  the 
  joint 
  of 
  the 
  bud 
  union, 
  and 
  refill 
  about 
  % 
  of 
  

   the 
  hole 
  with 
  good 
  topsoil. 
  Water 
  well, 
  let 
  settle, 
  and 
  

   finish 
  filling 
  the 
  hole. 
  Use 
  excess 
  soil 
  to 
  build 
  saucer 
  

   to 
  hold 
  water 
  through 
  season. 
  (3.) 
  Trim 
  back 
  side 
  

   branches 
  to 
  two 
  buds 
  and 
  main 
  stem 
  to 
  24 
  to 
  30 
  inches. 
  

   (4-) 
  Cultivate 
  lightly 
  the 
  first 
  season; 
  or 
  treat 
  the 
  area 
  

   with 
  herbicide; 
  or 
  mulch 
  with 
  good 
  hay 
  or 
  similar 
  

   material. 
  (5.) 
  Newly 
  set 
  trees 
  may 
  be 
  fertilized 
  at 
  

   planting 
  time 
  with 
  Special, 
  Slow 
  Acting 
  pellets 
  or 
  

   packets; 
  or 
  with 
  regular 
  fertilizer 
  in 
  very 
  small 
  quan- 
  

   tities 
  4 
  to 
  6 
  weeks 
  after 
  growth 
  begins.
