  We 
  congratulate 
  those 
  at 
  South 
  Haven 
  Station 
  on 
  

   releasing 
  to 
  the 
  peach 
  world 
  another 
  variety 
  which 
  has 
  

   promise 
  of 
  becoming 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  great 
  commercial 
  

   peaches. 
  REDHAVEN 
  is 
  a 
  cross 
  between 
  Halehaven 
  

   and 
  Kalhaven. 
  We 
  first 
  observed 
  this 
  variety 
  in 
  1939 
  and 
  

   had 
  our 
  first 
  fruits 
  here 
  in 
  our 
  test 
  orchards 
  last 
  year. 
  

   It 
  colors 
  a 
  brilliant 
  red 
  and 
  beautiful 
  yellow. 
  Skin 
  is 
  

   smooth, 
  almost 
  fuzless, 
  resembling 
  J. 
  H. 
  Hale 
  in 
  color, 
  

   skin 
  and 
  flesh. 
  Flesh 
  is 
  very 
  firm 
  and 
  fruits 
  ripen 
  

   uniformly. 
  Tree 
  is 
  very 
  vigorous 
  with 
  heavy 
  bud 
  set 
  

   and 
  bears 
  young. 
  Fruits 
  medium 
  sized 
  and 
  well 
  filled 
  

   when 
  ready 
  to 
  pick, 
  suture 
  being 
  rather 
  prominent 
  un- 
  

   til 
  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, 
  thin- 
  

   ning 
  should 
  be 
  practiced 
  to 
  increase 
  size 
  of 
  the 
  fruits. 
  

   Trees 
  are 
  proving 
  satisfactory 
  in 
  test 
  plantings 
  over 
  a 
  

   wide 
  area.

  ANNE 
  

   SHOW 
  THAT 
  THE 
  REDHAVEN 
  will 
  stand 
  low 
  temp- 
  

   eratures. 
  Early 
  January 
  temperatures 
  of 
  13 
  degrees 
  

   below 
  zero 
  almost 
  wiped 
  out 
  some 
  varieties, 
  while 
  RED- 
  

   HAVEN 
  set 
  a 
  full 
  crop. 
  The 
  older 
  tree 
  set 
  very 
  heavy 
  

   and 
  required 
  thinning. 
  It 
  was 
  again 
  very 
  dry 
  in 
  this 
  

   section 
  during 
  the 
  growing 
  and 
  ripening 
  season 
  and 
  

   this 
  tree 
  with 
  a 
  full 
  crop 
  did 
  not 
  size 
  its 
  fruits 
  satis- 
  

   factorily, 
  however 
  the 
  fruits 
  were 
  attractive, 
  firm 
  and 
  

   of 
  good 
  quality. 
  The 
  younger 
  tree 
  bearing 
  its 
  first 
  

   fruits 
  naturally 
  did 
  not 
  set 
  such 
  a 
  heavy 
  crop 
  and 
  was 
  

   more 
  vigorous 
  and 
  the 
  fruits 
  on 
  this 
  tree 
  sized 
  well 
  

   being 
  2^4" 
  and 
  were 
  beautiful 
  specimens. 
  It 
  seems 
  

   to 
  be 
  definitely 
  a 
  few 
  days 
  later 
  than 
  Fisher 
  and 
  the 
  

   flesh 
  is 
  flecked 
  considerable 
  with 
  red, 
  however 
  is 
  more 
  

   firm 
  and 
  gives 
  indication 
  of 
  being 
  a 
  good 
  commercial

  HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  FISHER 
  PEACH 
  

  

  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 
  three 
  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 
  quick- 
  

   ly 
  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 
  193G 
  and 
  the 
  top 
  worked 
  tree 
  set 
  a 
  crop 
  which 
  re- 
  

   quired 
  thinning, 
  the 
  remaining 
  peaches 
  on 
  the 
  top 
  

   worked 
  tree 
  developed 
  exacty 
  as 
  those 
  on 
  the 
  Parent 
  

   limb. 
  

  

  Observations 
  of 
  the

  PEACH 
  on 
  fruiting 
  

   trees 
  in 
  the 
  TEST 
  Orchards 
  of 
  the 
  Bountiful 
  Ridge 
  

   Nurseries 
  near 
  Princess 
  Anne 
  in 
  1942 
  

  

  Abnormally 
  low 
  temperatures 
  during 
  early 
  January 
  

   with 
  three 
  successive 
  nights 
  registering 
  8-13-11 
  degrees 
  

   below 
  zero 
  gave 
  the 
  Fisher 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  all 
  varieties 
  in 
  

   our 
  test 
  orchard 
  a 
  real 
  test 
  and 
  we 
  are 
  glad 
  to 
  report 
  

   the 
  Fisher 
  CAME 
  THROUGH 
  WITH 
  A 
  FINE 
  CROP 
  

   WHICH 
  REQUIRED 
  THINNING, 
  while 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  

   more 
  tender 
  varieties 
  were 
  frozen 
  out. 
  Fruits 
  developed 
  

   well 
  with 
  definite 
  lack 
  of 
  moisture 
  during 
  growing 
  

  

  season 
  and 
  we 
  harvested 
  some 
  handsome 
  fruits. 
  Qual- 
  

   ity 
  was 
  above 
  average, 
  however 
  the 
  skin 
  and 
  flesh 
  

   texture 
  of 
  the 
  Fisher 
  peach 
  are 
  such 
  that 
  we 
  don't 
  

   believe 
  it 
  should 
  be 
  planted 
  heavily 
  for 
  shipment 
  to 
  

   markets 
  800 
  or 
  more 
  miles 
  distant. 
  Again 
  we 
  recom- 
  

   mend 
  a 
  well 
  balanced 
  fertilization 
  program 
  on 
  this 
  

   variety. 
  It 
  is 
  inclined 
  to 
  stick 
  to 
  the 
  pit 
  under 
  certain 
  

   growing 
  conditions 
  and 
  again 
  our 
  recommendation 
  is 
  

   that 
  it 
  be 
  planted 
  at 
  00 
  ft. 
  or 
  more 
  elevation 
  and 
  in 
  

   light 
  gravel 
  or 
  shale 
  soils 
  for 
  best 
  success. 
  

  

  Its 
  Beautiful 
  Color, 
  large 
  size 
  and 
  the 
  clear 
  yellow 
  

   flesh 
  and 
  superb 
  quality 
  will 
  establish 
  the 
  Fisher 
  as 
  

   one 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  varieties 
  yet 
  introduced 
  to 
  preceed 
  the 
  

   Golden 
  Jubilee 
  season.
