MEDIUM EARLY VARIETIES 



THE COLORA PEACH 



DIXIGEM (3a) 



A New Early, Yellow Fleshed Peach introduped by the 

 U. S. Department of Agrriculture 



The DIXIGEM ripens several days ahead of the 

 Golden Jubilee or about with Early Rose, Fisher and 

 Redhaven. The fruit is medium size, ovate with lig'ht 

 pubescence and a bright, atrractive, red blush covering 

 about half the surface. The ground color is a bright 

 yellow. The flesh is yellow, medium to Arm, having 

 fine texture and excellent flavor. It is almost a free- 

 stone when fully ripe and is usually semi-free at ship- 

 ping stage. 



The trees of Dixigem have been vigorous and produc- 

 tive, sometimes requiring thinning of fruit, but general- 

 ly do not tend to overbear. While Dixigem has mostly 

 been fruited in Georgia and other nearby southern 

 states, its characteristics of early ripening season, good 

 size, near freestone, high ciuality. attractive appearance 

 and good tree growth, recommend it for trial as an early 

 yellow shipping variety for all peach growing sections. 

 It shows possibilities of stepping up our yellow i)each 

 season with a good commercial variety. 



REDHAVEN <^> 

 CUMBERLAND ro) 



For description see page 14. 



The tree is a vigorous 

 grower. The fruit at- 

 tractively colored with red, oval in shape. The flesh is 

 white, almost free. Ripens just before -Carman. Cum- 

 erland continues to gain in popularity in all peach 

 sections. 



GOLDEN JUBILEE (^a) 



A PROVEN MONEY MAKER 



No General Planting of Peaches is Complete 

 Without A Liberal Amount of Golden Jubilee 

 Trees. See Color Illustration Cover Page. 



A development of the New Jersey Experiment Sta- 

 tion first offered by us during Fall shipping season 

 of 1928. Planted and producing in every peach pro- 

 ducing 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 regular 

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

 ium 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 na- 

 turally. Ripens about three to four weeks before El- 

 berta. 



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



An early, oval, red 

 all over, firm, yel- 

 low freestone peach ripening usually about two days 

 after Golden Jubilee or 20 to 25 days before Elberta. 

 The trees are medium in size, hardy and heavy bearers. 

 Trees require good soil and good culture for best re- 

 sults. 



NEWDAY (NJ. 79) (6) 



FIREGLOW (71) (s^) 



A large, oval, yel- 

 low - fleshed peach 

 which begins to ripen a few days after Triogem. The 

 tree is somewhat more vigorous and the fruit averages 

 larger which makes the variety somewhat easier to grow 

 for market. The fruit is showy. Arm in texture and 

 hangs to the tree well. It is not always a freestone 

 liut this has not apparently affected the market demand. 



A large, oval, yel- 

 low - fleshed peach 

 which begins to ripen a few days after Golden Jubilee. 

 The fruit is firm and ripens slowly after being picked. 

 Develops early color and is an all over attractive red. 

 Quality is very good. Tree is somewhat tender in wood 

 and bud and is recommended for planting in South Jer- 

 sey and more southern latitudes. It is a freestone. 



COLORA PEACH <') 



An Outstanding Hardy, Early, Yellow Freestone 

 Peach. 



Tree and Buds Stand Low Temperatures Where 

 Other Varieties Fail. 



High Color, Superb Quality, Size and Hardiness 

 Are Reasons Why You Should Plant Colora. 

 Introduced in 1936. 



Our own introduction of a new frost resistant, yellow 

 freestone peach. Second generation trees as well as the 

 original branch have withstood temperatures during 

 the past winters of about 17 degrees below zero, when 

 most other varieties such as Elberta, Hiley Belle. Belle 

 of Georgia, Early Elberta and J. H. Hale were wiped 

 out bj' these low temperatures. The peach is an at- 

 tractive yellow, freestone, well-colored and of excellent 

 quality, ripening about 15 to 20 days before Elberta. 

 In size, it is about the same as Elberta. We believe 

 the planters will find this a valuable variety for plant- 

 ing in cold areas.

VEDETTE (^a) 



A Peach of Proven Merit Adapting Itself To 

 Southern Peach Areas. 



Size, High Color, Excellent Quality and Sliipping 

 Ability Establish the Vedette As One of the Lead- 

 ing Peaches to Follow Jubilee. 



A product of the Vineland Experimental Station, in 

 Canada, proving unusually well adapted in the various 

 peach growing sections of the United States. A seed- 

 ling of Elberta, resembling that variety in color and 

 type of flesh but is more globular in shape, ntore high 

 ly colored, and of finer quality. The fruit is of 

 large size, yellow fleshed, freestone. The tree is vig- 

 orous, very hardy, comes into bearing early and is 

 very productive. The Vedette is proving very satis- 

 fastory in trial plantings near Columbia and Clemson. 

 South Carolina, as well as other peach growing sections 

 of the Central and Eastern States. The fruit is firm 

 and a good shipper, ripening about one week after 

 Golden Jubilee. A fine peach that promises to be a 

 real money-maker for the Southern planter as well as 

 other sections, replacing the old Hiley with a larger 

 better quality, yellow, freestone, productive peach. 



A large, red. bright. 



smooth peach which 

 colors well all over before it ripens, softens slowly, mak- 

 ing it a good commercial peach. Flesh inclines to ad- 

 here to the pit when hard ripe, but is generally free- 

 stone. 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.
