PEACHES 
FREESTONE VARIETIES 
Admiral Dewey. Large; yellow with red cheek; 
flesh yellow; perfect freestone; flavor good. One of 
the best early yellows. Ripens soon after Triumph. 
Alexander. Medium to large; greenish white, 
nearly covered with a deep, rich red; flesh white, 
very juicy and sweet, with brisk, agreeable flavor. 
Very early. 
Amsden’s June. Similar to Alexander in all re¬ 
spects, excepting that its hardiness renders it pref¬ 
erable in localities where other sorts are more sub¬ 
ject to curl. Very early. 
Australian Saucer. Small, flat, hollowed like a 
saucer on one side, giving the name; white with 
red cheek; flesh white; flavor excellent. For home 
use only. Succeeds particularly in the southern 
part of the State. Early. 
Bilyeu’s Late. Large; white with a beautiful 
blush; flesh white, very firm and of good flavor; 
heavy bearer and good shipper. The latest white 
freestone. 
Briggs’ May. Medium size; round; white with red 
cheek; flesh white, melting, juicy and very sweet. 
Ripens soon after Amsden. Early. 
Early Columbia. A very fine early variety. Skin 
greenish white, well covered with red; flesh white, 
sweet, highly flavored and particularly delicious. 
Resembles Hale’s Early, but ripens earlier. 
Early Crawford. A magnificent, large, yellow 
peach of good quality. Its size, beauty and pro¬ 
ductiveness make it one of the most popular vari¬ 
eties both for home use and commercial planting. 
Medium early. 
Elberta. Very large; usually elongated; skin 
golden yellow, where exposed to the sun faintly 
striped with red; flesh yellow, very fine grain, 
juicy, rich, sweet and splendidly flavored; tree very 
prolific and presents a handsome appearance. It is 
a perfect freestone and one of the most successful 
market varieties, selling usually at a higher price 
than any other peach. 
Everbearing. Very distinct from all other sorts. 
Blooms and bears over a long season. Reddish 
purple; flesh red next to skin and around pit, mak¬ 
ing it practically a “Blood Free.” For home use. 
Foster. Very large; yellow with red cheek. Much 
like Early Crawford, but is larger, earlier and 
better. Runs very uniform in size. A thoroughly 
fine yellow freestone. 
George the Fourth. Large; white with red cheek; 
flesh white, juicy and extremely rich; tree vigorous 
and bears moderate crops of the best quality. One 
of the best whites for home use. Medium early. 
Grosse Mignonne. Large, roundish: skin greenish 
yellow, mottled with red; flesh yellowish white, 
melting, juicy, but with very rich, high vinous 
flavor. Early. 
Hale’s Early. Large, nearly round; skin greenish 
white, rrtostly covered with red and can be readily 
separated from flesh when fully ripe. Flesh white, 
melting, juicy, sweet and most delicious; adheres 
partially to the pit. 
Imperial. Medium size; skin very smooth, deep 
yellow with dark red cheek, making an unusually 
beautiful fruit; flesh rich and firm, with a delight¬ 
ful flavor: perfect freestone. In quality the best 
very early yellow freestone. 
Late Crawford. Fruit very large, roundish; skin 
yellow, with dark red cheek; flesh deep yellow 7 , 
juicy and melting, with a very rich and excellent 
vinous flavor. Mid-season. 
Lovell. A California seedling; large, almost per¬ 
fectly round: flesh clear yellow to the pit; firm and 
of excellent quality; a superb canning peach and 
dries well. Very prolific. Late. 
Mayflower. Introduced to the Pacific Coast by 
ourselves a few 7 years ago as “the earliest peach 
known.’’ Results have fully substantiated this 
claim and it still holds that title. It is absolutely 
red all over, with white flesh of excellent flavor. 
As large as Alexander and ripens two weeks ear¬ 
lier with us at Niles. Very heavy bearer and should 
be thinned. Many customers who tried this vari¬ 
ety on our recommendation when first introduced 
have since bought heavily after fruiting it and 
recognizing its great value. 
Morris White. Large, oval; skin white, becoming 
creamy or pale straw color when fully ripe, without 
any red whatever; a perfect freestone; flesh white 
clear to the dark brown pit, remarkably tender, 
juicy, sweet and rich. Beyond all doubt the finest 
flavored peach grown. A good bearer, but not a 
strong grower. Susceptible to curl-leaf. Mid- 
season. 
Muir. An excellent bearer, and does not curl; 
fruit large to very large; skin and flesh uniformly 
yellow 7 clear to the pit; a fine shipper and one of 
the best canning peaches in the United States; as 
a drying peach it excels all others ever introduced. 
Late. 
Newhall. A superb peach of very large size; skin 
yellow with a dark red cheek; flesh deep yellow, 
juicy, with rich vinous flavor; ripens about one 
week before Late Crawford; tree very hardy, 
healthy, vigorous, and not affected by curl. Mid¬ 
season. 
Opulent. Originated by Luther Burbank. A 
hybrid between Muir Peach and White Nectarine. 
Medium size; almost globular; skin slightly downy, 
creamy w 7 hite with crimson dots and blushes; per¬ 
fect freestone; flesh white throughout; moderately 
juicy; flavor combines the sweetness of the Muir 
with the tart of White Nectarine. Recommended 
by Mr. Burbank as “a fruit for home use of sur¬ 
passing excellence.’’ Ripens about ten days before 
Early Crawford. 
Royal George. A beautiful and high-flavored 
peach; rather large, globular, broad; skin w 7 hite 
w 7 ith deep red cheek; flesh w 7 hitish, very red at the 
stone; very rich. Fairly early.

rich, high flavor; quality the very best. Ripens 
between Early and Late Crawford.

nearly the size of Early Crawford, but of better 
quality; orange yellow with deep red cheek. Very 
early.
