Varieties —A large number of varieties are grown in California, 
but the bulk of the crop consists of comparatively few sorts. For 
canning, the firm-fleshed yellow clingstone varieties are largely used. 
The principal cling varieties grown for canning are the Tuskena 
(Tuscan), Hauss, Johnson, Walton, Albright Cling, and Philips. Of 
freestone varieties, the Muir and Lovell are canned to some extent, 
and for drying they are by far the most important. The Elberta is 
dried in relatively small quantities. Those grown for shipping fresh 
are the Alexander, St. John, Early Hale, Early Crawford, Foster, 
Susquehanna, Elberta, McKevitt, McDevitt, Salwey, Levy, and some 
others.
