The ERLY-RED-FRE ripens uniformly, does not show bruises readily and 
will keep and ship better than ELBERTA. It is definitely the first ripening free- 
stone peach now in cultivation to our knowledge, following closely the May- 
flower and preceding the Golden Jubilee by several weeks. 
The ERLY-RED-FRE originated as a chance seedling in the orchard of 
Wm. Perry near Chase City, Va. Our attention was first called to this splendid 
peach in 1935. The second generation trees bore in 1937 at 2 years of age, the 
fruits on these being identical with those on the Parent tree. The fruit is very 
highly colored with an attractive bright red on a creamy white background. 
The skin is tough and medium thick. The flesh of the peach is of such texture : 
that it does not show bruises through the skin for several days after being ERLY-RED-FRE FRUITS 
bruised and is a clear white through to the pit. We believe this peach has one J 
of the smallest pits of any cultivated peach we know of in existence. The fruit RIPENS WITH RED BIRD; 3 to 4 WEEKS BEFORE GOLDEN JUBILEE; 
averages large for an early peach, some snecimens weighing 12 ounces and the 6 to 7 WEEKS BEFORE ELBERTA
