PLANT LMPKO\ED VARIETIES FOR GREATER PRODUCTION AND PROFIT 



REDHAVEN 



Now A Tried and Proven Winner of Its Season. 

 .Among the best for its season. Beautiful color, 

 finnness, liigli quality, good consumer demand add 

 popularity for this peach.

 firm. Tree is vigorous with heavy bud set and bears young. 

 Fruits medium sized and well filled when ready to pick, su- 

 ture being rather prominent until peach approaches picking 

 period. Growers may be inclined to pick too early because of 

 good color and should watch this and when trees set too 

 heavy, thinning should be practiced to increase size of the 

 fruits. Trees are proving satisfactory in test plantings over 

 a wide area. 



It seems to be a few days later than Fisher: the flesh how- 

 ever is more firm and gives indication of being a good com- 

 mercial peach to ripen before Golden .Jubilee. We recom- 

 mend applying fertilizer in early November or very early 

 .Spring on these early ripening types to help the early de- 

 velopment of the fruits, also thinning should be practiced 

 on Redhaven and Fisher when a heavy crop is set. 



DIXIGEM 



Tlie DlXKiEM ripens several days ahead of the Golden 

 .1 iibilee or about with Fisher and Redhaven. The fruit is 

 medium size, ovate with light pubescence and a bright, at- 

 tractive red blush covering about half the surface. The 

 ground color is a bright yellow. The flesh is yellow, medium 

 to firm, having a fine texture and excellent flavor. It is al- 

 most a freestone when fully ripe and is usually semi-free at 

 shipping stage. 



The trees of Dixigem have been vigorous and productive, 

 sometimes requiring thinning of fruit, but generally do not 

 tend to overbear. While Dixigem has mostly been fruited 

 in Georgia and other nearby southern states, its character- 

 istics of early ripening season, good size, near freestone, 

 high quality, attractive appearance and good tree growth, 

 recommend it for trial as an early yellow shipping variety 

 for all peach growing sections. 



JERSEYLAND (N.J. 135) 



A NEW EARLY VARIETY TO PRECEDE 

 GOLDEN JUBILEE 



Introduced by the N. J. Peach Council as an early, large, 

 firm, attractive" yellow-fleshed freestone, ripening a few days 

 before Golden .Jubilee. It hangs w^ell to the tree and is an 

 excellent shipper. Tree is hardy, sets fruit buds freely and 

 comes into bearing early. Recommended for trial in sections 

 where early peaches are profitable. 



THIS VARIETY HAS BEEN MARKETED AND IS CALL- 

 ED BEAtJTT GEM BY lNr.\NY GROWERS IN THE SOITH- 

 ERN REGIONS. 



SUNRISE (N. J. 133) 



This peach has been planted widely in N. J. and is prov- 

 ing very satisfactory as an early yellow Heshed peach ripen- 

 ing before Jerseyland. Fruits are well colored, semi-free, 

 good size and trees are resistant to bacterial spot. Fruits 

 are firm and nicely colored. It overlaps on Goldray.

HILAND 



A highly colored, vellow .lingstone peaeh formerlv lesleil 

 as FV 123-41 and is the result ot: cross between Southland 

 and seedling of Hiley by Halehaven. Ripens just before 

 Cardinal or 5 days before Dixired. Blossoms large, opening 

 ,iust after Hiley. Buds require about 750 hours to break rest 

 period. Tested mostly in .Southern States. Vigorous and 

 productive. Fruits niediuni size, ovale, light piiliesc-ence. at- 

 tractively colored, with liLriit red blush at shipiiini; stage. 

 Flesh yellow, fairly firm, meilinm textured, and ol -ood Hav-

 small petaled and self -fertile, opening with .Southland. Buds 

 only require 7."iO Imurs chilling requirements to break rest

 Georgia, this variety shows real merit and should prove es- 

 pecially valuable where short rest periods are a factor. We 

 have observed this varietv for several years and can recom- 

 mend it highly, .i U.S.D.A. introduction. 



CARDINAL

.S.I)..\. during suiiuner l'J51. 



iilehaveii selfed and formerly 

 tested as FV 101. Ripens four days ahead of Dixired, more 

 than two weeks before Jubilee. Fruits are clingstone, med- 

 ium size, round, light pubescence. Well covered with at- 

 tractive red blush over good yellow ground color. Flesh is 

 .\-ellow, firm, medium textured and good flavor. About size 

 of Dixired, also in color, appearance and firmness. Blossoms 

 medium sized, self fertile and open about with Elberta. 

 Chilling requirements about 900 hours. Should succeed any- 

 where Dixired can be grown and has advantage of being 

 earlier. We recommend this peach from what we have seen 

 of it in past several years and where low chilling require- 

 ments are not a great factor as its qualit.v and aiipearance 



BLAKE (N. J. 117) 



Widely planted in New .Jersey and some other areas and 

 seems to have grower and consumer approval. Named from 

 the late Dr. M. A. Blake of the N. J. Experimental Station. 

 Fruits are medium to large, very highly colored with attrae 

 five red over good yellow ground color. It is a freestone. 

 having considerable red about the pit and extendinu to tin 

 flesh in some cases. Flesh is very firm and ot excih m 

 flavor. Trees are good growers, ranks with Ell>ei-ta in 

 hardiness of bud and tree. The size, its briglit attractive 

 red coloring and season of ripening should make i in- T'.lake 

 a desirable peaeh to precede Elberta.
