A better shipper 
PEACHES— 
ELBERTA. The most extensively planted 
Peach, serving as a standard from which 
the quality and ripening periods of other 
varieties are reckoned. While Elberta con¬ 
tinues to be the leading commercial variety, 
earlier yellow freestone varieties of better 
quality are gaining in popularity. Until 
the newer varieties are better known, 
Elberta will continue to be the leader. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE. A Peach of the Elberta 
type ripening with Carman. Yellow, free¬ 
stone; good shipper and better quality 
than Elberta. Golden Jubilee was intro¬ 
duced by the New Jersey Experiment Sta¬ 
tion for the purpose of supplying the mar¬ 
ket with a yellow freestone at a time when 
other good Peaches are not available. 
GREENSBORO. Large yellow with splashes 
of bright red. A beautiful Peach in appear¬ 
ance; flesh white; very juicy; good quality 
for an early Peach. Semi-cling. Very hardy 
in bud. 
HALE. A newer variety than the Elberta 
which is rapidly gaining popularity. Re¬ 
sembles the Elberta very much, is some¬ 
what larger and has better shipping quali¬ 
ties. The tree is a very strong and vigorous 
grower, having much the appearance of the 
Elberta. The fruit is of a deep golden yel¬ 
low color, overspread with bright red; has a 
smooth, thick skin and compares favorably 
with the Elberta in shape. The flesh is firm, 
fine grained. Freestone. Forty per cent of 
the Peach trees planted in the Crozet Fruit 
Belt of Virginia are Hale. 
HEATH CLING (White Heath, etc.) An 
old-time favorite clingstone, very much in 
demand for pickling and canning. Large, 
round, firm white flesh; exceedingly juicy 
and ripens clear to the pit. Last of Septem¬ 
ber to first of October. 
HILEY. Seedling of and ripens a week before 
the Belle of Georgia. Superior quality, one 
of best shipping or canning varieties. Large 
white with red cheek, white flesh, heavy 
bearer, ripens last of July. Freestone. 
INDIAN BLOOD CLING. Solid red cling¬ 
stone, red to the stone, firm and juicy, 
medium to large. One of the best pickle 
Peaches grown, sure cropper. A long-lived 
tree. Especially popular in sections where 
other varieties are frost killed. September. 
KRUMMEL (Krummel’s October). Large, 
yellow, with red cheek. One of the best and 
most popular late freestones, ripening 
early in October. 
LATE ELBERTA. Another Elberta, ripen¬ 
ing about three weeks later and coming at 
a time when good Peaches are scarce; 
demands good prices. 
MAYFLOWER. Medium size red cling¬ 
stone of poor quality, but always sells 
because of being the first on the market. 
Tree hardy and heavy bearer. 
The Peach trees you sent me are of the highest 
type from every angle and I am delighted. The 
class of tree is much higher than I expected.

MIKADO. At last we have a yellow, semi¬ 
freestone Peach of good quality ripening 
30 days ahead of Elberta. For years 
planters, nurserymen and Experiment 
Stations have been searching for such a 
Peach. Mikado not only meets the re¬ 
quirement foi an early, yellow Peach, but 
would be a good Peach ripening any season. 
Plant Mikado to follow Red Bird. The 
New York Experiment Station reports 
Mikado best meeting the demands for a 
good early yellow Peach—the quality being 
even better than that of the Elberta. 
RED BIRD. Firm, large, red clingstone, 
white meat. Ripens a few days later than 
Mayflower and in spite of its lacking qual¬ 
ity, is a money maker. Even a better ship¬ 
per than Elberta and because of earliness, 
sells much higher. 
ROCHESTER. Practically a new variety in 
Virginia, but for some years it has been ex¬ 
tremely popular in adjoining states. Yel¬ 
low, freestone and early. Seems to combine 
the high quality of the Early Crawford with 
the production of the Elberta. Very hardy; 
seldom Winterkilled. 
SALWAY. Large yellow with crimson 
cheek; sweet, juicy. One of the best late 
Peaches, ripening in September. Freestone. 
SHIPPER’S LATE RED. Resembles Hale, 
ripening one week later than Elberta; 
larger, better quality and a better shipper. 
This promising variety originated in In¬ 
diana and is still new in Virginia and ad¬ 
joining states. The oldest and largest 
plantings of this variety are in the vicinity 
of Romney, West Virginia, where it is 
most popular. 
SLAPPY. Yellow freestone, medium size, 
sweet, highly flavored and one of the best 
canners. Ranks with Belle of Georgia as a 
local market Peach. We especially recom¬ 
mend the Slappy for the home orchard. 
SOUTH HAVEN. Firm, yellow freestone. 
Good quality; medium size, good shipper. 
Ripens ten days ahead of Elberta. Re¬ 
cently introduced by the Michigan Experi¬ 
ment Station and has the promise of be¬ 
coming an important commercial variety. 
STUMP. Old-time, white Peach. Large, 
round, white with red cheek, flesh white, 
deliciously flavored and juicy. Freestone. 
Very large and splendid variety for home 
orchards. 
VALIANT. A Canadian variety hav¬ 
ing good promise. Yellow freestone of 
Elberta type; good size, better quality and 
ten days earlier. 
VEDETTE. Introduced by the Vineland Ex¬ 
periment Station of Ontario, Canada, to 
meet the requirements of an early, yellow, 
freestone Peach of better quality than El¬ 
berta. Resembles Elberta and ripens two 
weeks earlier. 
Received my Peach trees and they are really nice 
trees. I thought that they were large for what I 
ordered. Thank you for the quick replies to all my 
letters and for your good service. Wish I had known 
more about your Nursery sooner.
