  NOVELRED 
  ° 
  

  

  Half 
  Nectarine— 
  Half 
  Peach 
  

  

  Novelred 
  is 
  neither 
  all 
  peach 
  nor 
  all 
  nectarine. 
  Both 
  

   fuzzy 
  and 
  smooth 
  fruits 
  are 
  produced 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  tree 
  at 
  

   the 
  same 
  time. 
  Many 
  times 
  you 
  will 
  find 
  that 
  one 
  fruit 
  is 
  

   partly 
  smooth 
  and 
  partly 
  fuzzy. 
  The 
  quality 
  of 
  both 
  types 
  

   of 
  fruit 
  is 
  excellent. 
  

  

  Fruits 
  of 
  Novelred 
  are 
  very 
  large, 
  very 
  red, 
  and 
  have 
  

   extra 
  fine 
  flavor. 
  Size 
  runs 
  to 
  inches 
  in 
  many 
  cases. 
  

   Color 
  is 
  a 
  brilliant 
  red 
  which 
  covers 
  nearly 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  fruit. 
  

   The 
  flesh 
  of 
  Novelred 
  is 
  white, 
  streaked 
  with 
  carmine, 
  and 
  

   very 
  juicy. 
  Both 
  the 
  smooth 
  and 
  fuzzy 
  fruits 
  have 
  excel- 
  

   lent 
  flavor, 
  being 
  a 
  bit 
  more 
  tart 
  and 
  winey 
  than 
  an 
  or- 
  

   dinary 
  peach. 
  

  

  Novelred 
  is 
  a 
  full 
  freestone 
  seedling 
  of 
  Erly-Red-Fre. 
  

   Its 
  ripening 
  season 
  is 
  about 
  that 
  of 
  its 
  parent. 
  We 
  know 
  

   Novelred 
  will 
  not 
  be 
  good 
  for 
  large 
  commercial 
  planting, 
  

   but 
  we 
  feel 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  fine 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  home 
  gardener's 
  

   or 
  small 
  grower's 
  variety 
  list.

  REDBUD 
  (2003) 
  A 
  white-fleshed, 
  average-sized 
  free- 
  

   stone 
  ripening 
  about 
  27 
  days 
  before 
  Elberta. 
  A 
  good 
  bright 
  

   red, 
  attractive, 
  smooth 
  skin 
  covers 
  the 
  fruits 
  which 
  are 
  

   above 
  average 
  in 
  firmness, 
  medium 
  in 
  texture, 
  and 
  of 
  

   good 
  quality. 
  The 
  trees 
  are 
  of 
  average 
  vigor 
  and 
  pro- 
  

   duce 
  heavy 
  sets 
  of 
  buds. 
  They 
  are 
  highly 
  resistant 
  to 
  

   brown 
  rot 
  when 
  a 
  standard 
  peach 
  spray 
  schedule 
  is 
  

   followed. 
  Buds 
  are 
  more 
  tolerant 
  to 
  late 
  frost 
  than 
  Red- 
  

   chief, 
  but 
  slightly 
  less 
  than 
  those 
  of 
  Cavalier. 
  

  

  LEXINGTON 
  (2004) 
  A 
  yellow-fleshed 
  variety 
  ripening 
  

   about 
  17 
  days 
  before 
  Elberta, 
  with 
  average-sized, 
  freestone 
  

   fruits 
  2 
  inches 
  or 
  more 
  in 
  diameter. 
  The 
  skin 
  is 
  a 
  deep 
  

   yellow 
  overlaid 
  with 
  red, 
  giving 
  an 
  attractive 
  ap- 
  

   pearance. 
  The 
  flesh 
  is 
  medium 
  textured 
  and 
  of 
  good 
  

   flavor. 
  Lexington 
  is 
  resistant 
  to 
  brown 
  rot 
  when 
  regular 
  

   peach 
  spray 
  is 
  used. 
  The 
  trees 
  are 
  vigorous 
  and 
  set

  LAFAYETTE 
  (2005) 
  The 
  largest 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  new 
  Virginia 
  

   selections. 
  Lafayette 
  has 
  the 
  best 
  skin 
  color 
  and 
  finish, 
  too. 
  

   Even 
  though 
  the 
  flesh 
  is 
  white, 
  we 
  think 
  this 
  fine 
  new 
  

   variety 
  will 
  be 
  a 
  welcome 
  addition 
  to 
  every 
  planting. 
  

   Fruits 
  ripen 
  with 
  Lexington, 
  seem

  are 
  borne 
  annually.

  FRANCESCO 
  (2009) 
  

  

  Plant 
  Patent 
  No. 
  2S39 
  

  

  Francesco 
  produces 
  large 
  freestone 
  fruits 
  of 
  high 
  quality. 
  

   The 
  fruits 
  are 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  covered 
  with 
  a 
  beautiful 
  

   carmine-red 
  laid 
  over 
  a 
  golden 
  yellow 
  ground. 
  Ripening 
  

   period 
  is 
  from 
  August 
  25th 
  to 
  about 
  September 
  5th 
  or 
  in 
  

   the 
  Blake-Redskin 
  peach 
  season. 
  

  

  Mature 
  fruits 
  of

  will 
  measure 
  2 
  3 
  4 
  or 
  more 
  

   inches 
  when 
  well 
  grown. 
  Color 
  is 
  such 
  that 
  Francesco 
  can 
  

   compete 
  very 
  favorably 
  with 
  western 
  nectarines. 
  A 
  good 
  

   peach 
  spray 
  schedule 
  is 
  completely 
  satisfactory. 
  Added 
  

   benefits 
  are 
  fine

  excellent 
  keeping 
  and 
  shipping 
  

   quality.

   large 
  in 
  growth, 
  upright 
  and 
  round-topped 
  in 
  habit. 
  They 
  

   are 
  hardy 
  and 
  bear 
  annually. 
  Flowers 
  and 
  buds 
  are 
  hardy 
  

   and 
  open 
  medium 
  early. 
  Cross-pollination 
  is 
  not 
  required.
