PLANT IMPROVED VARIETIES FOR GREATER PRODUCTION AND PROFIT 



REDHAVEN 



Now A Tried and Proven Winner of Its Season. 



Among the best for its season. Beautiful color, 

 firmness, high quality, good consumer demand and 

 popularity for this peach. 



RANGER 



KKIHIAVKX is a cross between Halohaven and Kalchaven. 

 It colors a brilliant red and beautiful yellow. Skin is smooth, 

 almost fuzzless, resembling J. H. Hale in color, skin and flesh. 

 Flesh is very firm. Tree is vigorous with heavy bud set and 

 bears young. Fruits medium sized and well filled when 

 ready to pick, suture being rather prominent until peach ap- 

 proaches 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 in- 

 crease size of the fruits. Trees are proving satisfactory in 

 plantings over a wide area. 



CARDINAL 



Cardinal is a seedling of Halehaven 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 

 vellow, 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 quality and appearance 

 will make it popular in many sections. 



CORONET 



CORONET resulted from 

 Haven selfed and Dixigem. 

 June 1953. 



CORONET ripens 2 to 3 days earlier than Dixigem or just 

 before Redhaven. The fruit is medium size, highly colored. 

 vellow fleshed tending to stick to pit when not fully ripe 

 but a freestone when ripe. Bright, attractive red blush over 

 good yellow ground color. Firm, smooth textured, very good 

 but mild flavor. Coronet trees are vigorous and productive. 

 Blossoms arc small-petaled. self-fertile, chilling requirement 

 about 800 hours or a little less than Elberta. This is a fine 

 looking peach and a challenge to Redhaven in many areas, 

 especially in southern peach sections and may replace Dixi- 

 gem.

REDCAP 



A Southland-Dixired cross formerly tested as FV 121-58. 

 Ripens just before Dixired and resembles Dixired very much. 

 A clingstone, medium size, round, with light pubescence, at- 

 tractive red blush covers most of the peach. The flesh is 

 yellow, firm but melting, medium textured and good flavor. 

 Trees are moderately vigorous and productive. Blossoms are 

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

 only require 750 hours chilling requirements to break rest 

 period like Hiley, Southland and Hiland. Tested mostly in 

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

 pecially valuable where short rest periods are a factor. We 

 have observed this variety for several years and can recom- 

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



A fine looking yellow freestone peach ripening with or just 

 after Golden Jubilee, formerly tested as B12K10 and a seed- 

 ling of Rariton Rose selfed. Medium to large size, almost 

 round, with light pubescence, highly colored with bright red 

 blush covering most of peach. Flesh yellow, medium firm, 

 medium textured, good flavor and suitable for canning or 

 freezing. Tree is vigorous and productive showing marked 

 resistance to bacterial leaf spot. Blossoms medium sized, 

 self fertile, usually open after Elberta. Ranger has been test- 

 ed in Md., S. C, Ga., Tex., W. Va., and Dela. and should 

 prove valuable in the central peach areas for local or com- 

 mercial markets. This is a U. S. D. A. introduction. 



^ SUNHAVEN 



This Amazing New Peach Should Have A Place 

 In Your Plantings 



Result of cross made in South Haven, Michigan by Stanley 

 Johnston in 1944. Matures ten days earlier than Red Haven. 

 Fruit is large in size, nearly round and uniform in shape. 

 Color much like Red Haven, largely bright red with stone 

 ground color for attractive contrast. Fruits keep and handle 

 unusually well for such an early maturing variety. Flesh 

 clear yellow, fine textured, firm, of good flavor and resistant 

 to browning. A partial cling until fully ripe. Trees are 

 large, vigorous, and productive. Recommended for an early 

 fresh market variety. 



^ RICHHAVEN 



Outstanding New Variety 



Recommended For Test In All Areas 



Originated in South Haven, Michigan, Richhaven gives 

 promise of replacing the Hale Haven variety. Fruits are 

 large, uniform in size and shape. Color a bright red blush 

 with stripes of red and gold laid over a bright golden ground 

 color. Fuzz is unnoticeable and an unusually thick, tough 

 skin adds to its handling and shipping ability. Flesh is a 

 clear yellow with moderate redding around the pit. Entirely 

 a freestone when ripe. Ripens with Hale Haven or fourteen 

 days before Elberta. 



SUNRISE (N.J.133) 



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

 ing very satisfactory as an early yellow fleshed 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. 



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 attrac- 

 tive red over good yellow ground color. It is a freestone, 

 having considerable red about the pit and extending to the 

 flesh in some cases. Flesh is very firm and of excellent 

 flavor. Trees are good growers, ranks with Elberta in 

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

 red coloring and season of ripening should make the Blake 

 a desirable peach to precede Elberta. 



MAYGOLD 



A highly colored cling introduced by the U. S. D. A. need- 

 ing only 650 chilling hours. Fruit is medium size, yellow 

 fleshed, medium textured, with good flavor. A light red blush 

 covers about half the skin over an attractive yellow ground 

 color. Trees are vigorous and productive. Maygold ripens 

 with Redcap and Dixired and is recommended for trial in 

 areas where December and January are warm months but 

 where temperatures averaging below 54 degrees may be ex- 

 pected.
