APPROXIMATE RIPENING TIME OF PEACH 
VARIETIES 
The ripening dates of peaches in the same locality will vary from year to year, depend¬ 
ing on whether it is an early or late season, but the date of ripening is about the same dur¬ 
ing a normal season. We have selected Elberta as the standard because it is well known 
and is grown more largely than any other peach. 
This chart will assist you in selecting a list of varieties for orchard or home planting, in 
order of ripening.
