PEACHES—Continued 
EARLY ELBERTA. Very large, high quality. Flesh is 
fine grained, sweet. Midseason. 
ELBERTA. The peer of all commercial peaches. Mid¬ 
season, extra large, light yellow, with red cheek, a 
perfect freestone. Tree vigorous and prolific, suc¬ 
ceeding universally wherever peaches can be grown. 
LATE ELBERTA. S imilar to Elberta but ripens consider¬ 
ably later than its namesake. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE. A second generation seedling of 
Elberta and Greensboro, is a large early peach. 
Resembles Elberta in shape, but it is better in quality 
and ripens 3 weeks earlier. Skin yellow, blushed 
with red,- flesh yellow, juicy, medium firm, tender,- 
sweet or slightly subacid,• freestone.

J. H. HALE. Bridges the gap between Rochester and 
Elberta. One of the largest peaches. Superior to 
Elberta in size, firmness and shipping quality. Yellow

not as prolific as a commercial fruit should be. Prob¬ 
ably somewhat self-sterile. Flesh fine grained and 
quality good.

and vigor and very productive in mixed plantings. 
The fruit is of good quality; ripens the first week of 
August, is medium in size, round in shape, semi-cling, 
and is attractive yellow blushed with red. Mikado 
is pollen-sterile and so requires cross-pollination.
