PEACHES

Fresh ripe home-grown peaches over a season of nearly three months are a luxury that may be had 
at little expense. They can be grown almost as far north as apples and will succeed farther south. 
They thrive on heavy clay soil or on soil that is nine-tenths coarse sand. You can never know how 
good peaches taste until you pick them fully ripened from your trees. Plant largely of midseason 
and late varieties, but include enough of the earlier and very late kinds to provide an ample supply 
throughout the season. 
ALTON 
(White Semi-freestone) 
(Midseason) 
An early mid- 
season white- 
fleshed peach of 
Carman type, 
noted for its large size, good quality, and 
beauty. It is larger and a little later than 
Carman. The tree is a very large, vigorous 
grower; hardy. 
ARP BEAUTY Earliest ripening 
(Yellow Semi-clingstone) yellow peach. It 
(Early) is round oval 
shape; juicy, sweet and rich. No good in 
Georgia, according to Hale Orchard Co.'s 
experience. An excellent peach for home 
garden. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA The best white 
(White Freestone) peach for home 
(Midseason) use and market. 
Belle is to white 
varieties what Elberta is to the yellow kinds, 
except that it has quality, which Elberta 
lacks. It is roundish oval, creamy white, 
with a bright red blush on the sunny side. 
Very little fuzz. Flesh is firm, melting, 
and juicy; rich sugar-sweet. The tree is a 
large, vigorous grower, open spreading top, 
hardy and productive. We especially recom- 
mend the Belle as the best white peach of its 
season for home use and commercial plant- 
ing. 
CARMAN 
(White Semi-freestone) 
(Early) 
One of the hardi- 
est, most widely 
planted early 
white peaches. 
Brilliant red, splashed with darker red on 
creamy background; flesh is tender, juicy, 
good quality for a peach of its season. Its 
chief asset is a constitution which enables it 
to stand a trying climate both North and 
South; thrives on a great variety of soils. 
CHAMPION An exceptionally high 
(White Freestone) quality, hardy white 
(Midseason) peach. Champion has 
long been known as a 
white-fleshed peach par excellence in quality. 
It is not a good shipper, but the tree is al- 
most perfect in every respect, and this with 
its quality makes it an ideal peach for hor | 
use and local markets. I 
CROSBY The best quality k\ 
(Yellow Freestone) peach for Northern 
(Late) planting. Noted for 
its hardiness in tree and 
bud. Golden orange color; firm but tender; 
very good quality; medium size. A good 
canner. 
EARLY ELBERTA Very large, high quality, 
(Yellow Freestone) lemon-yellow peach. 
(Midseason) Flesh is fine- grained, 
sweet; for home use 
and local market. Tree is a strong grower of 
Elberta type. A good bearer under favor- 
able conditions; moderately hardy. 
EARLY ROSE The best 
(Red and White Clingstone) early peach. 
(Early) Flesh is ten- 
der and has 
a delicious, rich, sweet flavor; dark-red color, 
almost like a cherry — qualities lacking in 
other early peaches. It has a fragrant 
aroma beyond all comparison with any other 
varieties. The tree is a very hardy and de- 
pendable bearer. It is a medium grower, 
rather stocky, and, while in no sense a dwarf, 
it never attains a great size, like the Belle or 
Carman. Grown by the carload for a num- 
ber of years, it fruited for ten years in 
succession without a single failure. The 
best early peach for home use or commercial 
planting. 
ELBERTA The most widely and 
(Yellow Freestone) extensively planted 
(Midseason) commercial peach. 
Very large golden-yel- 
low peach, nearly covered with crimson on 
the sunny cheek; flesh is firm, rich, yellow, 
fair quality. Tree is a moderately vigorous 
grower, very productive, yielding large quan- 
tities of uniform, highly colored fruit; moder- 
ately hardy in wood and bud, but its 
adaptability to all soils, its prolific bearing, 
large size, splendid shipping qualities, and 
the tendency to color well before fully 
mature have made it the great market peach. 
ELBERTA CLING The best yellow cling- 
(Yellow Clingstone) stone; especially fine 
(Midseason) for canning, preserv- 
ing and pickling; large, 
yellow, round, good for dessert. Tree is a 
strong, vigorous grower, hardy and produc- 
tive. 
EUREKA Very large for an 
(White Freestone) early peach ; good 
(Early) quality; white with a 
distinct red blush on 
one side; round; flesh is tender, but firm. 
Tree is above the average size, spreading, 
hardy, and exceptionally productive. 
GREENSBORO Second earliest 
(White Semi-freestone) ripening peach; 
(Early) larger than the 
Mayflower. It is 
a handsome creamy white, oblong oval peach ; 
fair in quality as compared with later vari- 
eties. Tree is a strong, vigorous grower; 
bears young; succeeds everywhere. Rather 
delicate for distant shipping. 
HEATH CLING The latest 
(White Clingstone) ripening 
(Very Late) peach grown. 
The best for 
pickles and preserves. W i d e 1 v 
planted in the Central and Southern 
states, where the season is long 
enough for it to reach maturity. 
It is a creamy white, with very firm, 
meaty, but tender and sweet flesh. 
Large size and unusually good keeper 
and shipper. Can be stored until 
late in the autumn. Tree is one of 
the largest, healthiest and hardiest 
varieties known. 
HILEY Hiley is the ear- 
(White Freestone) liest commercial 
(Midseason) freestone white- 
fleshed peach; 
better in quality than most of its 
competitors; very closely resembles its 
parent. Belle of Georgia. Flesh is firm, 
sweet, good quality; a very good 
shipper; often requires several pickings. 
Tree is medium size, open, spreading, 
not quite so fast a grower as the Belle of Georgia; 
hardy, productive. 
txvrJ:^^}^^^^ Similar to Champion, but 
(White Freestone) larger, better quality and a 
(Midseason) better shipper. Exceptionally 
good for home use and for 
market. It is a creamy white color with a dark 
red crimson cheek; firm flesh, juicy, very sweet 
and of high quality; large size. Tree is an upright' 
spreading grower, moderately vigorous; hardy. ' 
/V KRUMMEL Krummel is a large, round 
(YeUow Freestone) peach, one side a little 
(Very Late) larger than the other. A 
. ^, , ."ch golden yellow, blushed 
with carmine. Flesh is yellow, tinted red at the 
pit. Firm, melting, rich, sub-acid, 
and refreshing. Good quality. A 
good keeper and shipper. The tree 
is hardy, healthy, and a strong, 
vigorous grower. Bears third to 
fourth year. Krummel is a favorite 
in the southern peach regions, the 
far East, and on the Pacific Coast 
from California to Washington, 
where a very late peach is wanted. 
It is hardier, more productive, and 
a better money-maker than Salway.

station. Ripened October fifth."—

Ohio, Bulletin No. 170.
