Varieties listed in order oj ripening 



NOVELRED ° ° 



Half Nectarine — Half Peach 



Novelred is neither all peach nor all nectarine. Both 

 fuzzy and smooth fruits are produced on the same tree at 

 the same time. Many times you will find that one fruit is 

 partly smooth and partly fuzzy. The quality of both types 

 of fruit is excellent. 



Fruits of Novelred are very large, very red, and have 

 extra fine flavor. Size runs to 334 inches in many cases. 

 Color is a brilliant red which covers nearly all of the fruit. 

 The flesh of Novelred is white, streaked with carmine, and 

 very juicy. Both the smooth and fuzzy fruits have excel- 

 lent flavor, being a bit more tart and winey than an or- 

 dinary peach. 



Novelred is a full freestone seedling of Erly-Red-Fre. 

 Its ripening season is about that of its parent. We know 

 Novelred will not be good for large commercial planting, 

 but we feel that it is a fine addition to the home gardener's 

 or small grower's variety list. 



POCAHONTAS (2001 ) A good new yellow-fleshed 

 variety from Virginia that is medium large in size. The 

 skin is highly colored, and the quality is good. A semi- 

 freestone, Pocahontas ripens 19 days before Lexington. 

 The trees are vigorous, productive, escape damage from 

 brown rot and frost during blossoming season, and have 

 large, showy bloom. 



CHEROKEE (2002) a highly colored new variety from 

 Virginia that ripens about 30 days before Elberta. Fruits 

 are yellow fleshed, semi-freestone and above average in 

 quality. Trees are productive, medium vigorous, and 

 produce large showy flowers. Cherokee has above 

 average tolerance to brown rot and spring frost. 



NECTARINES 



FLAVORFUL - BEAUTIFUL - POPULAR 



REDBUD (2003) A white-fleshed, average-sized free- 

 stone ripening about 27 days before Elberta. A good bright 

 red, attractive, smooth skin covers the fruits which are 

 above average in firmness, medium in texture, and of 

 good quality. The trees are of average vigor and pro- 

 duce heavy sets of buds. They are highly resistant to 

 brown rot when a standard peach spray schedule is 

 followed. Buds are more tolerant to late frost than Red- 

 chief, but slightly less than those of Cavalier. 



LEXINGTON (2004) a yellow-fleshed variety ripening 

 about 17 days before Elberta, with average-sized, freestone 

 fruits 2 inches or more in diameter. The skin is a deep 

 yellow overlaid with red, giving an attractive ap- 

 pearance. The flesh is medium textured and of good 

 flavor. Lexington is resistant to brown rot when regular 

 peach spray is used. The trees are vigorous and set a 

 large amount of fruit buds which are relatively hardy. 



LAFAYETTE (2005) The largest of all the new Virginia 

 selections. Lafayette has the best skin color and finish, too. 

 E\'en though the flesh is white, we think this fine new 

 variety will be a welcome addition to every planting. 

 Fruits ripen with Lexington, seem resistant to brown 

 rot, and good crops are borne annually. 



REDCHIEF (2006) One of our best white-fleshed varie- 

 ties. Fruits are of good size, highly colored, freestone, and 

 with a very pleasing flavor. Trees are thrifty and pro- 

 ductive, with a marked resistance to brown rot. Red- 

 chief ripens about 13 days before Elberta and is moder- 

 ately tolerant of spring frost. 



GARDEN STATE (2007) a large, firm, freestone, yel- 

 low-fleshed nectarine that ripens with Hale Haven and 

 Redchief, 12 to 15 days before Elberta. An orange-yellow 

 undercolor is overspread with red to give it a fine ap- 

 pearance. Trees are vigorous and productive. One of 

 our finest nectarine varieties. 



CAVALIER (2008) More highly colored than Redchief. 

 It has good size, fine yellow flesh with high quality, marked 

 resistance to brown rot, and is a freestone. Trees are 

 vigorous and productive, setting abundant quantities of 

 fruit buds that are quite tolerant of spring frost. Cavalier 

 ripens about 8 days before Elberta. 



FRANCESCO (2009) 



Plant Patent No. 2839 



Francesco produces large freestone fruits of high quality. 

 The fruits are more than half covered with a beautiful 

 carmine-red laid over a golden yellow ground. Ripening 

 period is from August 25th to about September 5th or in 

 the Blake-Redskin peach season. 



Mature fruits of Francesco will measure 2^i or more 

 inches when well grown. Color is such that Francesco can 

 compete very favorably with western nectarines. A good 

 peach spray schedule is completely satisfactory. Added 

 benefits are fine flavor and excellent keeping and shipping 

 quality. 



Trees of Francesco are thrifty and productive, medium 

 large in growth, upright and round-topped in habit. They 

 are hardy and bear annually. Flowers and buds are hardy 

 and open medium early. Cross-pollination is not required.
