by H. R. Wright, who recommends it as a standard New Zealand variety, and 
a dependable bearer. At the Plant Introduction Garden, Chico, California,

value in this country. It is a clingstone, with yellow flesh of good 
quality, the suture deep and the pit large.

presented by H. R. Wright. This large, clingstone peach is attractive in 
appearance and of good quality. The skin is orange-yellow with a red 
blush, the flesh yellow and excellent in flavor. Since the fruit retains 
its form when cooked it is recommended by Mr. Wright as of value for 
canning.

presented by H. R. Wright. Described as a vigorous-growing, heavy-yielding 
variety producing large, freestone, yellow-fleshed peaches of excellent 
quality. The fruits are too delicate in texture to withstand shipment 
to distant markets, but for canning and home use they are said to be 
excellent.
