seedlings from this cross the dominance 
of white flesh over yellow is shown. All 
of the fruit borne had white flesh, and 
the indications are that all that have not 
borne will be white. Even though the 
characters of the white flesh were domi¬ 
nant. strange to say, only a few had the 
rubbery flesh of the pollen parent. Of 
course, this is only the first generation. 
The average quality was good for the sea¬ 
son. lyre were desirable, two may be 
desirable, five not very desirable and seven 
not desirable. The ripening period was 
spread from July IS (when four ripened) 
to August 7. July IS would represent 
approximately the ripening date <>f Early 
Wheeler. At the time of the ripening of 
Greensboro there were eight of these seed¬ 
ling- that matured. One of these appears 
to he better than Greensboro, although the 
crop was light. There were no freestones 
from tin- cross, three being semi-cliug and 
Iti being cling. 
St. John X Greensboro. —Only seven 
from this cross ripened, three of which 
were classed as desirable, one as may he 
desirable and three as not desirable. All 
again were white, hut two were freestones 
against five clingstones, thus showing that 
the cling character is not as strong in 
Greensboro as in Early Wheeler. A white 
freestone ripening about midway between 
Greensboro and Carman is tin* most prom¬ 
ising one of tiiis lot. 
Summary and Conclusions. —Taking 
into consideration all crosses, a total of 
.”46 seedlings were described, and of these 
155. or 28.11 per cent, were classed as.de¬ 
sirable : 156. or 28.7 per cent, were classed 
as may be desirable; 80. 14.7 per cent, as 
not very desirable, and 155. or 2'vo per 
cent, as not desirable. As some that were 
classed as not desirable were marketed in 
a local market, at least 75 per cent of all 
these seedlings would be classed as mar¬ 
ketable fruit. In the light of the general 
comprehension of seedling fruits this 
seems to he a remarkable record, hut when 
consideration is taken of the fact that all 
the varieties used were carefully selected 
because of certain desirable qualities, and 
also that, to the best of our knowledge, 
all the varieties used were comparatively 
! pure in heritage, the wonder becomes less. 
■ The outstanding features of prepotency in 
the various varieties are as follows: 
White flesh is generally dmniuaut over 
: yellow flesh. A character that seems to 
he linked with white flesh is that <>f vigor 
of growth. In every case where a white 
variety is used in a cross with a yellow 
variety, the increase in vigor is very 
marked. 
Elberta seems to he strongly yellow but 
carries a character for white. While a 
freestone, it carries a factor for olingi- 
lmss of about one-third. It seems also to 
be strongly prepotent as to period of 
ripening. Tts character for quality i- 
only mediocre, so that it is often prcdomi-l!

liutt'd wlti'it crossed with a variety 
quality. 
_I»<'lle is strongly white, but carries a 
25 per cent character for yellow. It is 
prepotent with respect to vigor. Being 
of high quality itself, it is strongly pre¬ 
potent in that respect. Its factor for 
clingstone seems to be only about 25 per 
cent. 
Early Crawford is almost pure yellow, 
and as such, in the first generation, the 
flesh color is apt to be dominated by a 
white. It- quality seems to be dominant. 
Although no seedlings have been se¬ 
cured from Greensboro self-pollinated, this 
variety seems, from its behavior, to be 
practically pure white and prepotent as 
such. Its ititiueuoo upon hardiness has 
not been determined. It seems to be 
strongly clingstone, but may carry a small 
factor for free. 
Another point of interest is that sev¬ 
eral seedlings of Belle self-pollinated. 
Belle X Greensboro and Belle X Elberta 
bloomed during the last season very lute. 
If this were not accidental, it would indi¬ 
cate the hardiness of these in bud. a very 
desirable character to be cultivated. 
Outstanding Skhdii ngs.— It is a dif¬ 
ficult task to state what are the most out¬ 
standing seedlings t.f these crosses. The 
most striking at one time will seem to 
pale at a later time. However, we believe 
that several of the seedlings are of such 
desirability that, if they fulfill the pres¬ 
ent promise, they should he given a place 
ill the commercial list and. in time, per¬ 
haps will displace present varieties. 
^ First—(if chi' several seedlings of Belle 
X Greensboro that ripen at or about Car¬ 
man time, apparently superior to Carman 
in quality, freestone, large, oval in shape 
and of good color and that bright, re¬ 
sistant to brown rot, vigorous and pro¬ 
ductive. at least one of these should re¬ 
place Carman. 
Second—1 would place the yellow oval 
seedlings of Belle selt’-pollitinted which 
ripen a week before Belle. 
Third—The several yellow "Belles” in 
the Belle X Early Crawford series have 
great promise. 
Fourth—The seedling of Early Craw¬ 
ford X Elberta resembling Elberta in 
slmpe aud color but of higher quality than 
Elberta, and ripening a week before that 
variety, seems to he very promising. 
These are the most outstanding.
