  The 
  FISHER 
  peach 
  was 
  discovered 
  as 
  a 
  bud 
  sport 
  of 
  

   the 
  VALIANT 
  in 
  August 
  1934 
  near 
  Queenstown, 
  Ontar- 
  

   io, 
  Canada. 
  Mr. 
  Fisher 
  found 
  these 
  large 
  well 
  formed 
  

   peaches 
  growing 
  on 
  a 
  single 
  limb 
  of 
  a 
  Valiant 
  tree 
  in 
  

   his 
  orchard, 
  being 
  attracted 
  to 
  the 
  peach 
  from 
  the 
  fact 
  

   that 
  it 
  was 
  ripening 
  fully 
  3 
  weeks 
  before 
  the 
  Valiant 
  

   peaches 
  on 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  tree. 
  Realizing 
  the 
  commer- 
  

   cial 
  possibilities 
  of 
  a 
  peach 
  of 
  this 
  type 
  and 
  season, 
  Mr. 
  

   Fisher's 
  next 
  concern 
  was 
  whether 
  the 
  fruit 
  would 
  

   carry 
  through 
  to 
  succeeding 
  generations. 
  To 
  test 
  it 
  

   as 
  quickly 
  as 
  possible 
  he 
  top 
  worked 
  a 
  two 
  year 
  old 
  

   Valiant 
  tree 
  with 
  12 
  buds 
  from 
  the 
  Sport 
  limb 
  the 
  first 
  

   week 
  in 
  September, 
  1934. 
  The 
  Parent 
  limb 
  again 
  bore 
  

   a 
  heavy 
  crop 
  in 
  1935 
  and 
  the 
  peaches 
  developed 
  as 
  they 
  

   did 
  in 
  '1934. 
  The 
  Parent 
  limb 
  repeated 
  with 
  a 
  fine 
  crop 
  

   in 
  1936 
  and 
  the 
  top 
  worked 
  tree 
  set 
  a 
  crop 
  which 
  re- 
  

   quired 
  thinning, 
  the 
  remaining 
  peaches 
  on 
  the 
  top 
  

   worked 
  tree 
  developed 
  exactly 
  as 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  Parent 
  

   Limb. 
  

  

  To 
  gather 
  first 
  hand 
  information 
  of 
  this 
  phenomenal 
  

   peach 
  Mr. 
  Geo. 
  W. 
  Kemp 
  and 
  Homer 
  S. 
  Kemp 
  made 
  

   special 
  trips 
  to 
  Canada 
  during 
  the 
  ripening 
  period 
  of 
  

   this 
  peach 
  in 
  1937 
  and 
  1938, 
  observing 
  the 
  peaches 
  on 
  

   the 
  original 
  tree 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  second 
  and 
  third 
  genera- 
  

   tion 
  trees. 
  The 
  original 
  limb 
  and 
  top 
  worked 
  trees 
  

   had 
  fine 
  crops 
  both 
  years. 
  We 
  photographed 
  the 
  fruits 
  

   in 
  colors 
  also 
  fruits 
  of 
  Marigold, 
  Oriole, 
  and

  We 
  are 
  pleased 
  to 
  say 
  that 
  about 
  80 
  trees 
  of 
  the 
  

   Fisher 
  peach 
  planted 
  March, 
  1938, 
  in 
  our 
  test 
  orchard 
  

   have 
  given 
  us 
  some 
  interesting 
  data 
  on 
  this 
  peach 
  which 
  

  

  Prices 
  given 
  are

  we 
  pass 
  on 
  to 
  you. 
  

  

  The 
  trees 
  had 
  a 
  light 
  bloom 
  set. 
  The 
  blossoms 
  open- 
  

   ed 
  medium 
  to 
  late 
  and 
  were 
  not 
  affected 
  materially 
  by 
  

   snow 
  and 
  sleet 
  storm 
  of 
  April 
  12, 
  followed 
  by 
  tempera- 
  

   tures 
  of 
  25 
  degrees. 
  Fruit 
  set 
  well 
  in 
  proportion 
  to 
  

   blossoms. 
  Fruit 
  withstood 
  the 
  severe 
  hail 
  storm 
  hitting 
  

   this 
  orchard 
  May 
  27. 
  The 
  fruit 
  on 
  these 
  young 
  trees 
  

   has 
  sized 
  up 
  well, 
  many 
  peaches 
  being 
  3 
  inches 
  or 
  better 
  

   in 
  diameter. 
  The 
  tree 
  is 
  proving 
  vigorous, 
  foliage 
  some- 
  

   what 
  subject 
  to 
  Bacteriosis. 
  Fruit 
  seems 
  fairly 
  resist- 
  

   ant 
  to 
  Bacteriosis. 
  Picked

  ripe 
  peaches 
  July 
  

   18, 
  general 
  picking 
  July 
  27 
  to 
  Aug. 
  3. 
  Were 
  still 
  har- 
  

   vesting 
  Red 
  Bird, 
  Greensboro 
  and 
  Early 
  Rose 
  when 
  

   Fisher 
  started. 
  Fisher 
  cleaned 
  up 
  before 
  starting 
  Gold- 
  

   en 
  Jubilee. 
  

  

  Fruit 
  averaged 
  large, 
  were 
  very 
  highly 
  colored 
  and 
  

   very 
  attractive 
  and 
  most 
  excellent 
  quality. 
  The 
  flesh 
  

   of 
  the 
  peach 
  is 
  a 
  clear 
  yellow 
  showing 
  no 
  red 
  at 
  all 
  

   even 
  about 
  the 
  pit. 
  Some 
  trees 
  showed 
  the 
  fruit 
  to 
  

   be 
  perfectly 
  freestone, 
  fruit 
  from 
  others 
  clinged 
  to 
  the 
  

   pit. 
  We 
  experienced 
  some 
  extreme 
  high 
  temperatures 
  

   from 
  July 
  20 
  to 
  28 
  which 
  ripened 
  peaches 
  too 
  fast, 
  

   many 
  fruits 
  showing 
  the 
  effects, 
  and 
  this 
  in 
  part 
  may 
  

   account 
  for 
  some 
  fruits 
  clinging 
  to 
  the 
  pit. 
  Fruits 
  were 
  

   very 
  high 
  quality, 
  somewhat 
  more 
  acid 
  than 
  Jubilee 
  or 
  

   Early 
  Elberta, 
  not 
  so 
  much 
  as 
  some 
  types 
  Elberta. 
  

   From 
  observations 
  this 
  year 
  in 
  this 
  orchard 
  you 
  can 
  

   expect 
  the 
  fruits 
  to 
  cling 
  to 
  the 
  pit 
  while 
  trees 
  are 
  

   young 
  in 
  many 
  cases 
  but 
  we 
  are 
  confident 
  as 
  your 
  tree 
  

   settles 
  down 
  to 
  real 
  production 
  at 
  about 
  5 
  years 
  of 
  age 
  

   the 
  fruits 
  will 
  be 
  freestone. 
  These 
  are 
  the 
  facts 
  friends. 
  

   We 
  believe 
  after 
  trial 
  you 
  will 
  find 
  it 
  to 
  be 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  

   fine 
  peaches 
  preceeding 
  the 
  Golden 
  Jubilee 
  season 
  and 
  

   we 
  recommend 
  it 
  especially 
  for 
  the 
  central 
  and 
  northern 
  

   districts.
