A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
Mikado —is the most popular, very early yellow. The tree is medium in size 
and vigor and is productive. The fruit ripens the first week of August, is 
medium in size, round in shape, semi-cling, and attractive yellow blushed 
with red. The quality is good. Mikado is pollen-sterile and therefore re¬ 
quires cross-pollination. 
The following varieties are recent introductions of merit from the New 
Jersey Experiment Station: 
Cumberland —originated as a cross between Belle and Greensboro. The fruit 
is above medium in size, attractive in color and shape, good in quality, and 
ripens with Pioneer. The stone is practically free. 
Delicious —is a white-fleshed seedling of Belle. The tree is vigorous and pro¬ 
ductive. Fruit is of the Belle type, medium to large in size and very at¬ 
tractive ; flesh medium firm, good or above in quality, and free from the 
stone. Delicious is in season just ahead of Carman and surpasses that 
variety in appearance and quality. 
Eclipse —is a self-pollinated seedling of Belle. The trees are productive. In 
size and shape the fruits resemble those of the well-known Belle. The color 
is an attractive yellow with a deep blush; flesh fine-grained; quality good; 
a freestone; midseason. 
Golden Jubilee —a second generation seedling of Elberta and Greensboro, is 
a large early peach. It resembles Elberta in shape, but is better in quality 
and ripens 3 weeks earlier. The skin is yellow, blushed with red; flesh 
yellow, juicy, medium firm, tender, sweet or slightly subacid; freestone. 
Desirable for home and local markets. 
Marigold —is an early peach, a cross between Lola and Arp. In shape, color, 
and flavor it resembles Arp, but while Arp is very stringy in texture and 
a strong cling, Marigold is a semi-cling with tender flesh and follows 
Mikado by a few days. 
Oriole —is in season about a week after Marigold and a week ahead of Gold¬ 
en Jubilee. The tree is vigorous and productive. The fruit is medium to 
large in size, roundish, yellow, very good in quality, and a freestone. It 
lacks the bright yellow of some varieties, but is very attractive. Oriole is 
notable as an early peach of high quality. 
Pioneer —is a large, oval, white-fleshed, almost freestone, and good-quality 
peach that ripens several days before Carman. The tree is vigorous and 
one of the hardiest in fruit bud. 
Sunbeam —ripens shortly after Oriole. It is exceptionally attractive but not 
as high in quality as Oriole. Semi-free. Of merit for freezing as flesh does 
not discolor when exposed to air. 
The four splendid varieties of peaches described below originated at the 
Horticultural Experiment Station, Vineland, Ontario, Canada. 
Valiant —a seedling of Elberta, is very promising. The fruit is large, round-
