* THE SALEERTA PEACH 
do not bear every year. Ho says that although 
these sorts bear so heavy and are consequently 
not so large that ho makes more money out of 
them than from anything else he has, because 
ho can count on a crop every year. 
(Wo would add that if ho would prune hep.vily 
and thin out the trees that he could get good 
sized fruit too. Tho same is true of Heidel- 
burg). 
With tho Halo, Elberta, Wilma and Salherta, 
wo now have a continuous Elberta season ex¬ 
tending over a period of S' or 6 weeks. 
SALEERTA—Is a Salway-Elberta 
cross grown from an Elberta pit. 
A large yellow freestone of the fin¬ 
est quality ripening about three 
weeks after Elberta. In a letter 
received from the originator writ¬ 
ten October 4, 1916, Mr. Rofkar 
states that he was picking the 
Salberta then. The variety is also 
very hardy in bud. This variety 
gives us a continuation of the El¬ 
berta season, and ripens at the 
same time as Smock, and has 
proved to be a heavy and sure 
bearer. In our opinion it is 
destined to take the place entirely 
of the Smock as a commercial va¬ 
riety. 
WILMA—A late Elberta intro¬ 
duced by Mr. Rofkar of Catawba 
Island, 0., a few years ago and 
now bearing in that section in 
many orchards. It is a large yel¬ 
low freestone, highly colored, and 
more prolific than its parent El¬ 
berta, and about ten days later in 
ripening. It also starts growth a 
little earlier in the spring than 
other varieties. 
WINSTONE—A seedling of Late 
Crawford which it resembles in 
every way, but tree is much har¬ 
dier. During the severe winter of 
UK) l we had a tree of Winstono and one of Late 
Crawford standing side by side in a small test 
orchard, Tho latter tree was killed completely 
but tho Winstono, a few feet away was unin¬ 
jured and bore fruit tho following season. This 
was also true of tho Hoidolburg and Day’s Non- 
pari el while many of tho old varieties such as 
Elberta, Crawford’s Early and Lato and others 
were entirely killed. 
One customer writes us. after trying to get 
an orchard of Day and Winstono for several 
years, but putting off ordering each timo till 
the trees were sold out to send him all tho trees 
of those varieties wo had left (which was several 
hundred at that time) because lie says that ho 
wants trees that will 
produce peaches and is 
tired of planting the or¬ 
dinary varieties which
