Statistics show that during the season of 1916, nineteen hundred and nine 
cars of green peaches were shipped to the eastern markets from California 
and it is safe to say that 65 per cent of the total shipments were Elbertas, to 
say nothing of the amount that was dried, or consumed locally. Ripens last 
of July. 
This is another peach of eastern origin and is very well known 
roster throughout California. The tree is a very strong grower and a fine 
producer, ripening about the same time as the Early Crawford and just before 
the Elberta. 
The fruit is large and uniform in size, slightly flattened. The skin is a 
deep orange in color, with a dark red cheek in the sun. Flesh is bright yel¬ 
low in color, rich and juicy. It is highly recommended for its table uses and 
for its fine shipping and drying qualities.

of July.
