Our Peach Trees Are Famous For Growth and Productivity 
WASHINGTON 
DIXIGEM (4b) A yellow, almost freestone peach that 
ripens about with Redhaven. Fruits are about half 
covered with a pretty red blush over a golden ground 
color. The flesh is medium to firm, with a fine texture 
and excellent flavor. Originally, a southern peach, 
ixigem is now more popular in many northern areas. 
REDHAVEN (4c) Hardly enough can be said about 
this fine peach, the standard of all early peaches. It 
colors a beautiful red and golden yellow. The skin is 
smooth, almost fuzzless, resembling J. H. Hale. Flesh is 
very firm, smooth textured, and of good flavor. Fruits 
are medium sized, round, uniform, and of excellent ap- 
pearance. Redhaven. is one of our most versatile 
varieties. It is good for freezing, canning, local and 
distant markets. Proper thinning will allow the vigorous 
and very productive trees to be some of your most 
profitable ones. Wood and buds of Redhaven are 
/hardy and disease resistant. 
GOLDENRED (4d) A yellow freestone of high quality 
and good color, ripening with Redhaven. It is smooth, 
round, and firmer than Redhaven. Flesh is lemon-yellow, 
fine textured, of pleasing taste, with some red about the 
pit. Fruit ripens evenly, with skin color developing early 
to permit picking while still firm. This fine new peach 
was introduced to replace Redhaven in trouble areas.

COMANCHE (4e) A Redhaven type peach that 
ripens about with Redhaven. Size is exceptionally good, 
with little thinning required. Fruits are attractive, with 
firm yellow flesh, and semi-free with no split pits. 
Comanche has a desirable crop load with larger size 
fruits than Redhaven.

The strawberry plants I received from you were the 
best I ever saw. All were long rooted and sturdy.

^GOLDEN JUBILEE (5a) An old stand-by variety 
that is still popular for home and near-by markets. 
Fruits are medium to large, attractive, freestone, and 
of good flavor. Jubilee will be more attractive and 
firmer if balanced fertilizers are used. The tree and 
buds are unusually hardy, resisting low temperatures 
better than Elberta. Blossoms are self-fertile and are 
borne in abundance. 
GOLDGEM — N.J. 197 (5b) An attractive yellow 
fleshed peach ripening with Golden Jubilee. It is firmer 
thanJubilee and the color is similar to Newday. 
' FAIRHAVEN (5c) A Redhaven type peach ripening 
about with Golden Jubilee. It has the same tendency to 
overcrop as Redhaven, but when thinned well it brings 
medium to large, round, attractive fruit. Fruits are firm, 
smooth skinned, and good shippers. Fairhaven is a good 
bet in its season. 
GRANGER (5d) A fine-looking yellow freestone peach 
ripening with Golden Jubilee. Medium to large size, al- 
most round, with light pubescence, highly colored with 
bright red blush. Flesh yellow, medium firm, medium 
- ' ■ textured, good flavor and suitable for canning or freez- 
ing. Tree is vigorous and productive, showing marked 
resistance to bacterial leaf spot. Blossoms medium sized, 
^lf-fertile, usually open after Elberta. 
KEYSTONE (6) Keystone ripens just ahead of Trio- 
gem. The fruits are large, highly colored, round, light 
pubescence, bright golden ground color. Flesh is yellow, 
firm, smooth textured and of good flavor, and a free- 
stone. Trees are vigorous and productive, with less bac- 
terial spot than Southland or Elberta. Blossoms are self- 
«rtile, require 750 chilling hours. 
TRIOGEM N.J. 70 (6a) An early, oval, red all 
over, firm, yellow freestone peach ripening about two 
days after Golden Jubilee. The trees are medium in 
size, hardy and heavy bearers. Trees require good soil 
and good culture for best results. Triogem has fruited 
over a wide area and has gained popularity due to 
heavy yields, good marketing traits, and hardiness of 
tree.
