• NATURE AGAIN TRIUMPHS BY GIVING TO THE FRUIT GROWING WORLD WHAT MAY PROVE TO 
BE TWO OF THE MOST OUTSTANDING PEACHES DISCOVERED IN RECENT YEARS. 
The FISHER peach was discovered as a bud sport of the VALIANT in 
August 1934 near Queenston, Ontario, Canada. Mr. Fisher found these 
large well formed peaches growing on a single limb of a Valiant tree in his 
orchard, being attracted to the peach from the fact that it was ripening fully 
3 weeks before the Valiant peaches on the rest of the tree. He was amazed 
by this freak of Nature and immediately examined the tree carefully and the 
limb seemed to be perfectly sound and healthy. Realizing the commercial 
possibilities of a peach of this type and season, Mr. Fisher's next concern 
was whether the fruit would carry through to succeeding generations. To test 
it as quickly as possible he top worked a two year old Valiant tree with 12 
buds from the Sport limb the first week in September 1934. Every bud lived 
on the Top worked tree and made a very remarkable growth during 1935, 
developing a number of fruit buds on the new growth. The Parent limb 
again bore a heavy crop in 1935 and the peaches developed as they did in 
1934 THE PEACH WAS MEDIUM TO LARGE, YELLOW FLESHED 
AND A FREESTONE. THE PEACH HAS A DARK RED BLUSH 
COVERING NEARLY HALF OF THE PEACH; EXCELLENT FLA¬ 
VOR, FINE GRAINED FLESH SHOWING NO RED ABOUT THE 
PIT. THE PEACHES HANG WELL TO THE TREE. The Parent 
limb repeated with a fine crop in 1936 and the top worked tree set a crop 
which required thinning, the remaining peaches on the top worked tree de¬ 
veloped exactly as those on the Parent Limb. HERE WAS A PEACH OF 
FINE QUALITY, A YELLOW FREESTONE PEACH, RIPENING SEV¬ 
ERAL DAYS BEFORE ORIOLE AND 10 DAYS BEFORE GOLDEN 
JUBILEE, THE PEACH SHOWING EVERY INDICATION OF DEVEL¬ 
OPING INTO A GREAT COMMERCIAL PEACH. In 1937 Mr. Geo. W. 
Kemp and Mr. Homer Kemp of our nursery journeyed to Canada to see this 
peach. The original limb as well as the top worked tree had a fine crop and 
on August 12, 1937 we photographed the peach in colors with our moving 
Picture equipment so we could show these pictures to our customers and let 
them see for themselves just what the fruit was like. We also photographed 
the Marigold, Oriole and Golden Jubilee in the same orchard so as to give 
the comparative season of these varieties. We have entered into a growing 
and distribution contract with Mr. Fisher for the distribution of this peach 
to our customers in the United States and Canada. 
WE ARE FRANK IN SAYING THE PEACH HAS GREAT COMMER¬ 
CIAL POSSIBILITIES BECAUSE IT IS OUR EARLIEST YELLOW 
FREESTONE PEACH OF FINE QUALITY. IT IS A SPORT OF THE 
VALIANT WHICH HAS ADAPTED ITSELF OVER A WIDE AREA 
IN THE U. S. AND WE BELIEVE THE “FISHER PEACH” WILL 
ADAPT ITSELF TO OUR GROWING CONDITION HERE IN THE 
STATES. Trees of the Fisher Peach have been widely distributed to de¬ 
termine this fact. The trees grow well here at Princess Anne and we should 
have some fruit here during 1939 and the U. S. D. A. Station, Beltsville, Md. 
should have fruits from their test trees in 1939. Our supply of trees is very 
limited this year and we must limit all of our customers to NOT MORE 
THAN (30) thirty trees to a customer, except in the smaller grades as priced. 
We certainly recommend the variety be planted in all fruit growing sections 
of North America for trial. PLACE YOUR RESERVATION PROMPT¬ 
LY AND REMEMBER THE VARIETY IS PATENTED WHICH PRO¬ 
HIBITS ALL PROPAGATING FOR ANY PURPOSE BY THE PUR¬ 
CHASER.

The ‘‘ERLY—RED—FRE” originated as a chance seedling in the orchard 
of Wm. Perry near Chase City, Virginia. Apparently the “ERLY—RED— 
FRE” is the result of the planting of a Red Bird seed. The parent tree is 
now about nine years of age. Our attention was first called to this splendid 
peach in 1935 and we instructed Mr. Perry to bud the variety off to see 
whether it would reproduce true to type in succeeding generations. The 
second generation tree bore the first crop in 1937 at 2 years of age. The 
fruits on these second generation trees being identical to those of the original 
tree. In 1938 both the original and second generation trees had a full 
crop on them which required heavy thinning. We firmly believe that this 
peach if it will adapt itself to the varied growing conditions in the peach 
districts will prove to be one of the most valuable peaches ever introduced 
to the peach growing world. We have never in all of our observation of 
peaches known of an early peach having so many good characteristics which 
are so outstanding, that we believe it stands today without an equal for its 
season. The peach tree this year bloomed medium early. The blossoms 
are of a medium open type and pink and self-polinating. We picked the 
first peaches from the second generation trees this year on June 11 at Chase 
City, Virginia. The entire crop could have been picked between June 11 
and June 17 for general market purpose. This is about the same season as 
the Red Bird or Early Wheeler, preceeding the Golden Jubilee from two to 
three weeks. The fruit is very highly colored with an attractive bright red 
on a creamy white background. The skin is tough and medium thick. The 
flesh of the peach is of such texture that it does not show bruises readily and 
is clear white through to the pit. We believe this peach has one of the 
smallest pits of any cultivated variety we know of in existence today. The 
flesh of the peach in many cases is nearly one inch thick from the pit to the 
skin. We have sent these peaches for hundreds of mile by parcel post for 
observation and in all cases they have carried through to destination in ex¬ 
cellent condition. It shows unusual quality being comparable to a well rip¬ 
ened Bella Georgia. The peach when ready to pick resembles in shape the 
Hiley Belle. It will average under proper growing conditions 2J4 inches 
and up in size and it can be classed as a Freestone peach. This year be¬ 
cause of excessive wet weather occasional peaches on the tree adhered 
slightly to pit. Two of the outstanding characteristics of the variety is its 
ability to crop and its pronounced resistance to brown rot. This year the 
second generation tree only received two sprays after the blooming period 
and at picking time did not show any brown rot, whereas Red Bird in the 
same orchard under the same growing conditions were completely destroyed 
with brown rot. This peach should prove indispensable to the peach growing 
world and we are confident that it will succeed in most all peach growing 
sections. It will come on the market in the southern districts without any 
competition from any source in a white Freestone peach. 
Our supply of trees for delivery this year is very limited. All orders will 
be acknowledged in accordance with stock and size trees available when order 
is received. The smaller grade trees which we offering are June budded trees 
of our own growing here at Princess Anne.

propogated by anyone other than Bountiful Ridge Nurseries for any purpose.
