THE FREMONT NURSERY, FREMONT, OHIO 
SALBSBTA — Is a Salway-Elberta 
cross grown from an Elberta pit. 
A large yallow 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 ho was picking the 
Snlbcrta 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 Jlr. Kofkar of Catawba 
Island, O., a few years ago and 
now bearing in that section in 
many orchards. It is a large yel¬ 
low freestone, highly colored, and 
iqore prolific than its parent El¬ 
berta, and about ten days later in 
ripening. It also starts growth a 
little earlier ijj 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 
1904 we had a tree of Winstone and one of Late 
Crawford standing side by side in a small tost 
orchard. The latter tree was killed completely 
but the Winstone. a few feet away wa.s \inin- 
jured and bore fruit the following season. This 
was also true of the lleidelburg and Day's Non- 
pariel while many of the old varieties such as 
Elberta. Crawford’s Early and Late and others 
were entirely killed. 
One customer writes us. after trying to get 
an orchard of Daj' and W’instono for several 
years, but putting off ordering each time till 
the trees were sold out to send him all the trees 
of those varieties we had left (which was several 
hundred at that time) because lie snvs that he 
wants trees that will 
produce peaches and is 
ting’d of planting the or¬ 
dinary varieties which 
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. 
(We would add that if he would prune hee.vily 
and thin out the trees that he could get good 
sized fruit too. The same is true of Heidel- 
burg). 
With the Hale, Elberta, Wilma and Salberta, 
wo now have a continuous Elberta season ex¬ 
tending over a period of 5 or 6 weeks.
