CUMBERLAND <^a') 



The tree is a vigorous grow- 

 er. The fruit is attractively 

 colored with red, oval in shape. The flesh is white, al- 

 most free. Ripens just before Carman. Cumberland con- 

 tinues to gain in popularity in all peach sections. 



GOLDEN JUBILEE <5) 



A PROVEN MONEY MAKER 



No General Planting cf Peaches is Complete Without A 

 Liiberal Amount of Golden Jubilee Trees. See Color Illus- 

 tration Cover Pagre. 



A development of the New Jersey Experiment Station first 

 offered by us during Fall shipping season of 1938. Planted 

 and producing in every peach producing section of the 

 United States and Canada and stands without an equal as 

 an early, yellow, freestone peach of exceptional quality. 

 The Golden Jubilee is a second generation seedling of the 

 Elberta crossed with the Greensboro. The tree is unusually 

 hardy. The buds resist low winter temperatures better than 

 Elberta and open later than Elberta which insures a reg- 

 ular crop. The blossoms are self-fertile. The peach is 

 medium to large in size. The peach develops better if a 

 well balanced fertilizer is used. As the tree grows older 

 the fruit becomes firmer and develops more naturally. Rip- 

 ens about three to four weeks before Elberta.

 Resistant Root Stock. § .10 extra per tree. See Page 20. 



THE FAIRHAVEN PEACH 'S") 



A recent introduction from South Haven Experiment 

 Station. 



Recommended for trial to lengthen Golden Jubilee Sea- 

 son and precede Halehaven. 



Fairhaven is a cross between J. H. Hale and South Haven. 

 Trees have shown no weakness to date and are vigorous 

 and productive. 



Fairhaven has the same tendency for heavy fruit setting 

 as Halehaven and Redhaven, but produces larger size fruit 

 than these two varieties. 



Fruits of Fairhaven are medium to large, round, bright 

 golden color with attractive red cheek. 



Skin smooth and tough. Fruit firm and ships well. The 

 flesh is medium yellow with moderate amount of red around 

 the pit, moderately fine textured and good flavor. It resists 

 browning which is of great advantage in processing. A 

 freestone. 



We recommend the variety for testing in a moderate way. 

 Trees limited for this season. 



An early, oval, red all 

 over, firm, yellow free- 

 stone peach ripening usually about two days after Golden 

 .Jubilee or 20 to 23 days before Elberta, The trees are med- 

 ium in size, hardy and heavy bearers. Trees require good 

 soil and good culture for best results. 



For the past several years Triogem has fruited over a wide 

 area and has gained in popularity due to heavy yields and 

 good marketing traits. Hardiness of tree has been another 

 factor for its increased popularity. It is well to remember 

 however the tree needs heavy feeding and a good spray 

 program for best results. 



TRIOGEM (N.J. 70) <5b) 



FAIR BEAUTY (s^) 



HARDINESS— GREAT BEAUTY— HIGH QUALITY 



recommended this peach for most all sections. Unrivaled 

 as an early canning variety. 



An early peach following Golden Jubilee three to five 

 days. Tree vigorous, spreading, very hardy in bud, often 

 producing a crop when other varieties are winter killed. 

 Fruit is medium to large in size, skin a deep golden yellow 

 blu-<hed with bright red. the flesh is firm, tender, melting 

 and juicy. Fruit hangs exceptionally well to tree and when 

 full ripe is a perfect freestone, clinging slightly when the 

 peach is hard ripe, an excellent market and canning peach. 



COLORA PEACH <6) 



An outstanding Hardy, Early, Yellow Freestone Peach. 

 Higli Color, Superb Quality, Size and Hardiness Are Rea- 

 sons Why You Should Plant Colora. Introduced in 1936. 



Our own introduction of a new frost resistant, yellow free- 

 stone peach. Second generation trees as well as the original 

 branch have withstood temperatures during the past win- 

 ters of about 17 degrees below zero, when most other va- 

 rieties such as Elberta, Hiley Belle, Belle of Georgia, Early 

 Elberta and .7, H, Hale were wiped out by these low tem- 

 peratures. The peach is an attractive yellow, freestone, well- 

 colored and of excellent quality, ripening about 15 to 20 

 days before Elberta. 



VEDETTE <6a) 



A product of the Vineland Experimental Station, in Can- 

 ada, proving unusually well adapted in the various peach 

 growing sections of the United States. A seedling of El- 

 berta. resembling that variety in color and type of flesh 

 but is more globular in shape, more highly colored, and cf 

 finer quality. The fruit is of large size, yellow fleshed, 

 freestone. The tree is vigorous, very hardy, comes into 

 bearing earlv and is verv productive. 



NOTE: VEDETTE— Trees available on Nematode Resistant 

 Root Stock 9 .10 extra per tree. See Page 20. 



SUNHIGH (N.J. 82) <6b) 



A large, red, bright. 



smooth peach which col- 

 ors well all over before it ripens, softens slowly, making it 

 a g(i( d commercial ])each. Flesh inclines to adhere to the 

 pit when hard ripe, but is generally freestone. The tree 

 is spreading in growth and the dormant buds are hardy. 

 The variety seems to do best in hilly sections and requires 

 thorough summer spraying. 



SOUTHLAND "' 



A promising new yellow fleshed variety that looks very 

 good to precede Halehaven. Don't miss out on this one. 



The Southland has lived up to all predictions made for 

 it. During 1949 season it came thru with a good crop 

 which sold for high prices. We recommend its planting 

 in all sections for trial and feel it will prove a valuable 

 addition to the Halehaven season. 



New Yellow Fleshed varietv ripening in Hiley season. 

 Released by the U. S. D. A. July, 1946, and tested under 

 No. FY 4-155. Southland is a seedling of Halehaven selfed. 

 It ripens about with Hiley or IG days before Elberta. The 

 fruit is a freestone, medium to large size, round, and has 

 little fuzz. The color is attractive with a light-red blush 

 covering about half the peach at shipping rine stage. The 

 flesh is yellow firm, slow softening, medium textured, good 

 flavor. 



The trees are vigorous and productive, blossoms large 

 and self fertile. 



The variety has been fruited and tested in Georgia, Mis- 

 sissippi and Louisiana, Southland is recommended as a 

 shipping variety to precede Sullivan's Elberta in all south- 

 ern areas and northern growers will find it outstanding 

 to renlace Hiley, Eclipse, Champion, South Haven and others 

 which ripen in the same season. 



Note: We have observed the Southland at Fort Yalley Ex- 

 periment Station since 1941 and feel it will prove to be a 

 fine long distance shipper, due to the firmness and slow 

 softening trait shown after picking. 



NOTE: SOUTHLAND — Trees are available on Nematode 

 Resistant Root Stock. $ .10 extra per tree. See Page 20. 



COMMENT : 



SOUTHLAND CONTINUES TO SHOW UP BETTER 

 AND BETTER AS IT IS FRUITED OYER AYIDER 

 AREAS, Its good size, fine color plus good flavor and 

 fine shipping ability is bound to increase as it continues 

 to come into bearing in the northern and north central 

 areas. We like the SOUTHLAND and recommend it 

 to you.
