A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
ripens 3 weeks earlier. The skin is yellow, blushed with red; flesh yellow, juicy, 
medium firm, tender; sweet or slightly subacid; freestone. 
Goldfinch is a roundish oval, yellow-fleshed peach of medium size. It is a free¬ 
stone with firm but tender flesh, subacid, and good in quality. This attractive 
peach ripens early, about a week ahead of Carman. 
Marigold is an early peach, a cross between Lola and Arp. In shape, color, and 
flavor it resembles Arp, but while Arp is very stringy in texture and a strong cling, 
Marigold is a semi-cling with tender flesh. 
Oriole is in season about a week after Marigold and a week ahead of Rochester. 
The tree is vigorous and productive. The fruit is medium to large in size, round¬ 
ish, yellow, very good in quality, and a freestone. It lacks the bright yellow of 
some varieties, but is very attractive. Oriole is notable as an early peach of high 
quality. 
Cumberland originated as a cross between Belle and Greensboro. The fruit is 
above medium in size, attractive in color and shape, good in quality, and ripens 
with Goldfinch. The stone is practically free. 
Sunbeam is derived from a cross between Slappey and Arp, ripening a week 
later than Marigold. The trees are productive. The fruit is large, round, deep 
yellow, nearly covered with red, and good in quality. Although a semi-cling its 
attractive color commands attention. 
The three splendid varieties of peaches described below originated at the 
Horticultural Experiment Station, Vineland, Ontario, Canada. 
Valiant, a seedling of Elberta, is very promising. The fruit is large, roundish 
oblate, yellow blushed with red, with firm juicy flesh of very good quality; a free¬ 
stone. The trees are productive. It is in season by the first of September or 
about two weeks ahead of Elberta. Noteworthy because of earliness and its rich 
delectable flavor—a thousand times better than Elberta. 
Vedette is the earliest of the three Canadian varieties, ripening a few days before 
Valiant. Like Valiant it was obtained from an Elberta seed. The tree is produc¬ 
tive and the fruit is large, roundish oval, yellow fleshed, and a freestone. It 
ripens 3 weeks before Elberta and is superior to its parent not only in quality but 
in color as well. 
Veteran originated in 1919 as a cross between Vaughan and Early Elberta. 
The fruit is large, round, yellow fleshed, freestone, and far superior to Elberta in 
quality. Since it ripens a few days later than Valiant, it makes a desirable sort to 
follow that variety.
