good consumer demand and 
Among the best for its season. 
firmness, high quality, 
popularity for this peach. 
REDHAVEN is a cross between Halehaven and Kalehaven. 
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 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 plantings over a wide area. 
7 CORONET 
CORONET ripens 2 to 3 days earlier than Dixigem or just 
before Redhaven. The fruit is medium size, highly colered, 
yellow 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 are 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. 
- REDCAP 
A Southland-Dixired cross. Ripens just before Dixired and 
resembles Dixired very much. A clingstone, medium size, 
round, with light pubescence, attractive red blush covers 
most of the peach. The flesh is yellow, firm but melting, 
medium textured and good flavor. Trees are moderately vig- 
orous 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, South- 
land and Hiland. Tested mostly in Georgia, this variety 
shows real merit and should prove especially valuable where 
short rest periods are a factor. We have observed this vari- 
ety for several years and can recommend it highly. A U. 
S. D. A. introduction. 
7 CARDINAL 
Cardinal is a seedling of Halehaven selfed. Ripens four 
days ahead of Dixired, more than two weeks before Jubilee. 
Fruits are clingstone, medium size, round, light pubescence. 
Well covered with attractive red blush over good yellow 
ground color. Flesh is yellow, firm, medium textured and 
good flavor. About size of Dixired, also in color, appear- 
ance and firmness. Blossoms medium sized, self fertile and 
open about with Elberta. Chilling requirements about 900 
hours. Should sueceed anywhere 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 requirements are not a great factor as its qual- 
ity and appearance will make it popular in many sections. 
February, 1959 
Can't resist telling you how happy I am with the July 
Heath variety. Only have 100 planted at this time but want 
more as soon as I have space available. I believe 2 yr. old 
trees last year averaged 2 bushels per tree and customers 
are ordering now for this year. Also T find 75% live buds 
while other varieties have only about 10% left.

> 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.

EN, MICHIGAN. 
> MAYGOLD 
A highly colored cling introduced by the U. S. D. A. need- 
ing omy 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. 
The Redskin peach is a product of the Maryland Universi- 
ty Experiment Station and is the result of a cross between 
Hale and Eiberta. It ripens slightly ahead or with Elberta. 
The tree is vigorous, fast growing and productive. Wood is 
hardy and the buds survive low winter temperatures along 
with the hardiest varieties. The fruit of the Redskin is 
round, yellow flesh with little or no color near the pit. It is 
a complete freestone, firm flesh of excellent shipping quality 
well colored with a deep red blush covering the fruit even 
when ripening under shady conditions. In taste, it is aro- 
matic, vinous and sweet. Due to the firmness, it is rated 
high for canning. Fruit develops good size even with heavy 
load cn trees. 
~ RANGER 
A fine locking yellow freestone peach ripening with or just 
after Golden Jubilee, formerly tested as B12160 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. 
/SUNRISE (N. J. 133) 
_ This peach has been planted widely in N. J. and is proy- 
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. 
~ 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 mcderate redding around the pit. Entirely 
a freestone when ripe. Ripens with Hale Haven or fourteen 
days before Elberta.
