Mr. C. E. Starkweother, Crozet, Virginio — "It bears larger, better colored 

 peaches even with a heavier crop than the Elbertas do." 



Mr. Lee T. Carpenter, Louisa, Virginia — "If it proves out in tests as good 

 OS it is in its original habitat I consider it to be the greatest find since Elberta 

 in the I870's."

 lorgest and the most prolific I ever saw and when it is loaded with those large, 

 uniform fruit, one hundred per cent colored it is a sight to be remembered."

 peach trees I got from you ond planted during November of 1949, that 498

 Icoves and sturdy limbs. I was over to Crozet this summer and got three busheis 

 of this amazing peacn from Mr. Oscar Jones, they were off of the parent (16 

 years old I tree, which had probably twenty bushels which he sold off the tree 

 for S4.50 per bushel. They were the most perfect exomple of a very large, 

 delicious firm peach I hove ever seen. Will eventually replace Elberta. I wont 

 to plont another block, as I believe and all of the fruit men of Winchester, 

 Virginia agree with me, that this peach is the answer to a fruit grower's prayer
