BERLIN, MARYLAND, U. S. A. 37 
GENERAL LIST OF PEACHES 
The ripening periods of the different varieties as here indicated are 
based on our observations at Berlin, Maryland. 
CHAMPION. Ripens first of August. Freestone. Fruits creamy 
white with red cheek. A valuable peach for the modern garden, 
and we have found it to be a very profitable commercial sort. It 
is one of the showiest varieties in our sample orchard, and, because 
of its effectiveness, it sells at a good price. 
Ford Late. White; freestone; ripens September 15. 
FOX. Ripens middle of September. Skin and flesh white. Freestone. 
The fruit is of unusually large size, high quality, and in some of 
the well-known fruit sections it is one of the desirable market sorts. 
Francis. Ripens from August 25 to September 1. Skin yellow, with 
white and yellow flesh. A desirable variety to follow Elberta. 
Greensboro. Ripens June 15 to July 10. Skin yellow-white 
with a crimson cheek. Flesh white, of excellent 
quality, ripening perfectly to the pit. Freestone. In our orchards 
this has proved to be an exceptionally good variety, and in some of 
the commercial orchards in our neighborhood is considered an im- 
portant part of the crop. The fruit is somewhat tender, therefore 
it requires extra care in shipping, but it reaches the market when 
the peaches are in strong demand and amply repays any difficulties 
in handling. The fruit is extra large for an early peach and is 
particularly handsome. 
HALE (The Million Dollar Peach). Ripens about August 10. Yel- 
low, finely colored; large, round, and of excellent quality. Free- 
stone. In certain sections of Virginia, and also in the neighborhood 
of Berlin, the Hale has proved to be one of the best varieties for 
market or for the home garden. It is one of the latest introductions, 
but seems to be worthy of all that has been said about it. 
Heath (White Heath Cling). Ripens from September 1 to 25. Skin 
and flesh white, with slight tinge of crimson. Cling. 
IRON MOUNTAIN. Ripens the last days of August. White skin 
and flesh. Freestone. This is one of the popular varieties in New 
York, where many peach-growers depend on it for their main crop. 
The fruit is large and of high quality. An unusually good grower. 
Ripens September 10 to 25. Skin yellow, overlaid 
Krummel. with crimson blush. Freestone. The fruit is nearly 
round, quite large. Flesh is fine grained and has a delicious flavor. 
Krummel grows well in the northern or southern sections. 
Late Crawford. Ripens about September 1. Skin yellow, 
eee ee With broad, dark cheek. Fileshavellow- 
Freestone. Coming at a time when the early peaches are over, this 
variety is largely sought for canning and preserving. Considered 
the best of all late yellow peaches, both as to size and high quality. 
It is remarkably good for shipping, reaching the market in first- 
class condition. The trees are vigorous and can be depended on to 
produce good crops almost every year. 
Mamie Ross. White; freestone; ripens August. 
ROCHESTER. Ripens about August ro. Red skin with yellow flesh. 
Freestone. A comparatively new sort. Fruit large and of good 
flavor. Trees frequently come into bearing two years after planting, 
and as they mature they become especially heavy croppers. 
Salway. Ripens September 10 to 25. Skin yellow, overlaid with 
chocolate-red. Freestone. Fruits quite large, of excellent favor, 
and in many cases considered one of the desirable sorts for canning 
and preserving. 
Slappey. Ripens July 12 to 25. Skin and flesh yellow. Freestore. 
One of the finest early varieties; in form it much resembles Elberta.
