Greening's Peaches-Continued 
J. H. HALE (Warner #4). This high type Super-Selected Strain of 
J. H. Hale is the finest to be obtained. The long Elberta shape 
type of J. H. Hale is mixed largely in plantings of J. H. Hale, 
which is very undesirable. Through Bud Selection we have pro¬ 
duced a strain of J. H. Hale which will produce the typical large 
round type of fruit desired in this variety. This Warner parent 
tree produced three bushels of typical large round type Hales when 
it was only three years old. Young orchards of the Warner Strain 
have reproduced this most desired type. The Sun-Glo is recom¬ 
mended as a pollenizer for Warner Strain J. H. Hale. 
KALAMAZOO (Barden). Medium size, slightly oblong. Yellow 
shaded with red. Flesh juicy, rich and melting. Highly esteemed 
in Michigan. This peach has a tendency to overbear. Refer to 
description of Gold Drop for cultural directions to follow for 
Kalamazoo. Ripens a few days later than Elberta. 
KIHLKEN SMOCK (Overheiser). We have discontinued propa¬ 
gating all other Smock varieties because the Kihlken Smock is so 
vastly superior. Larger, better and more beautiful than Beer’s 
Smock and especially a more abundant bearer of fruit. Originated 
in the orchard of George Kihlken at Danbury, Ohio, and intro¬ 
duced. by us. It is a free-stone peach ripening two weeks after 
Elberta. 
LATE CRAWFORD (Improved) (Bugden). Fruit of large size. 
Color yellow or greenish yellow with dull red cheek. Flesh yellow. 
Tree vigorous and productive. One of the best late sorts. Free¬ 
stone. Ripens with the last of Elbertas. 
LEMON FREE (Anderson). Almost lemon shape, pointed at 
apex and of a pale, lemon-yellow when ripe. Large size, excellent 
quality, a valuable market variety. Flesh yellow, juicy, stringy, 
tender and melting, sweet to sprightly, pleasantly flavored, very 
good in quality. Stone semi-free to free. Season of ripening ten 
days to two weeks after Elberta. 
MARQUETTE (Graham Experiment Station). The original tree 
may be found at Marquette in the upper Peninsula of Michigan 
where it has withstood a temperature of twenty degrees below 
zero without the least injury. We are positive that this variety 
can be grown successfully in cold climates where peaches have 
never been successfully grown before, such as in Minnesota, upper 
Wisconsin, Iowa and Northern Michigan. Fruit medium in size 
and round. Flesh creamy white, very juicy and palatable. Good 
quality. Pit is small and free. Ripens two weeks earlier than 
Elberta. 
MAYFLOWER (Williamson). The earliest ripening peach. Medi¬ 
um in size, dark red in color with juicy, tender, white flesh. Qual¬ 
ity fair. Tree productive. Ripens last week in June or first week 
in July. 
NEWCOMB (Ruall #1). A large round, yellow free-stone peach 
with red cheek and quality which ripens with New Prolific between 
Sun-Glo and Elberta. Flesh yellow, comparatively firm and of 
good quality. Tree vigorous, hardy, productive, and spreading in 
growth. 
NEW JERSEY CLING (South Haven Experiment Station). This 
variety originated at the New Jersey Experiment Station. The tree 
is vigorous, hardy in bud and productive. It has not shown anv 
particular weaknesses at the South Haven Experiment Station 
where it has been grown and tested for several years. The fruit 
matures ten days to two weeks earlier than Elberta. It is medium 
in size, somewhat long, beautifully colored with an extensive red 
cheek and sufficient golden yellow ground color for contrast. It 
cans exceptionally well, the texture and color being very satisfac¬ 
tory. 
NEW PROLIFIC (Barden #4). Introduced by us in 1890. Color 
golden yellow with rich crimson cheek. Fruit is large, flesh golden 
yellow and unusually thick and firm. Flavor very rich and spicy. 
Small pit and free-stone. Tree a strong grower, very productive 
and hardy. Hundreds of thousands of this variety have been 
planted. I he New Prolific should be fertilized, pruned and thinned 
tor best results. Ripens one week before Elberta. 
ORIOLE (South Haven Experiment Station). This variety origi¬ 
nated at the New Jersey Experiment Station and has been tested 
m Michigan for several years. It is an early-maturing variety. The 
tree is vigorous and hardy. During the winter of 1932-33, 95 per 
cent of the buds of this variety survived a temperature of 10 de¬ 
grees below zero, which was a better record than was made bv 
some other known hardy varieties. It is an early bearer, beginning 
at three years of age. It has also been a consistent producer. The 
fruit is medium in size. Due to its inclination to bear heavily it 
must be well thinned. The shape is somewhat round. It is attrac¬ 
tive in appearance, having a plentiful supply of red coloring, with 
enough yellow for contrast. The flesh is yellow', fine-grained, juicy, 
and of excellent quality. The pit is free. The merits of this variety 
should not be overlooked. It is splendid for local markets and 
short shipments. Ripens between Dew'ey and Rochester approx¬ 
imately one week before Rochester. 
ROCHESTER (Dunham). A yellow free-stone peach having the 
exceptional merits of being early, ripening about August 10th; 
extraordinarily sweet and early bearing. In other respects it com¬ 
pares favorably with the best standard varieties. Fruit is large, 
yellow in color, prettily blushed. Flesh sweet, juicy and of delicious 
flavor. It keeps and ships well. Tree a vigorous growler, hardy and 
an annual and prolific bearer. Season three weeks before Elberta. 
ST. JOHN (Spencer). A great peach. Fruit large, round, brilliant, 
showy. Color yellow with a fine red cheek. Flavor unexcelled by 
any other peach. One of the earliest yellow peaches. Bears young. 
Moderately productive and ripens three weeks before Elberta. 
SAL BERTA. A new' yellow' peach originating on the farm of Wil¬ 
liam Rofgar on Catawba Island, Ohio. The growers in the Peach 
Belt of Northern Ohio think this is a very valuable variety. Size 
medium to large, nearly round. Color deep yellow w'ith dull red 
cheek. Flesh yellow', firm and very juicy. Season September, in 
Northern Ohio. 
SALWAY (Fowler). Fruit large and roundish. Color deep yellow 
with a dull red cheek. Flesh yellow', firm, juicy and rich. One of 
the very best late peaches where it will ripen. Ripens after Kihlken 
Smock, about three weeks after Elberta. 
SEPTEMBER MAMMOTH (Wier). Fruit extra large, somewhat 
elongated. Color yellow, delicious flavor. Free stone. A good 
bearer and one of the finest peaches to plant for home purposes. 
The tree originated here in Monroe from a seedling. Of northern 
origin, therefore hardier than the Elberta. This peach was intro¬ 
duced by us after careful observation of its habits and we recom¬ 
mend it highly. Season ten days after Elberta. 
SHIPPER’S LATE RED (Strau). The fruit is a perfect free¬ 
stone, oblong, larger than the Elberta; skin is a fine golden yellow, 
almost completely covered with a splendid rich red making the well 
ripened fruit on the tree appear as if it were a solid red all over, 
and the texture of the skin is such as to give the peach the 
highest shipping quality; flesh rich yellow, moderately fine grained 
(no fiber), juicy and of good quality; ripens about one week to 
ten days after Elberta. A large, spreading tree and a heavy annual 
bearer. Should not be planted closer than twenty-five feet. 
SOUTH HAVEN. See Sun-Glo which is our Bud Selected South 
Haven. 
SUN-GLO (Greenings’ Improved Bud Selected South Haven) 
Another big favorite among successful peach growers. A pro¬ 
lific bearer of fruit of large size, excellent flavor and quality that 
is unsurpassed. The celebrated South Haven peach was an 
exclusive Greening achievement. In the Sun-Glo you have the 
South Haven at its Super-Selected best, being the second genera¬ 
tion of a Greening Super-Selected South Haven known as Tree 
No. 20 in the Spencer Orchards, in Michigan. Only Greening 
methods can produce such consistent improvement. Sun-Glo. 
the hardiest of all commercial peaches, is a consistent cropper, 
producing a full crop of marvelous fruit in seasons when crops 
of other varieties are destroyed by frost. The Sun-Glo peach 
and its parent the South Haven, have been the leading money¬ 
making commercial peaches since their introduction by us. The 
Sun-Glo produces full crops under most adverse conditions. The 
fruit is large, roundish, thick skinned, very uniform in size. 
Color deep yellow with red cheek. Stone is free. Ripens ap¬ 
proximately eighteen days before Elberta, at a time to bring 
high market prices. 
WILMA (Wichel). A real Elberta in tree and fruit, but ripens one 
week later. This variety was discovered by Wm. Rofgar, of Ca¬ 
tawba Island, Ohio. It was selected from several hundred seedlings 
of Elberta and named after his daughter. The variety has steadily 
increased in popularity on its own merits.
