BRIEF ACCURATE FACTS ABOUT THE VARIETIES 
Goldeneast 
( Continued) 
The yellow-orange color of the flesh is 
not only exceptionally attractive hnt it 
retains this color well, after the peaches 
are sliced. It does not turn an nnappetiz- 
ins brown as does the flesh of some 
varieties. 
The tree is upright, spreading and 
vigorous and the dormant buds are me¬ 
dium in hardiness. The variety appears 
to be best adapted to regions with a cli¬ 
mate similar to southern New Jersey. 
The edible quality of the fruit is much 
superior to Elberta and lacks the bitter¬ 
ness of that variety. 
Goldeneast has received wide commer¬ 
cial test in New Jersey. It was first sent 
to the wholesale market in considerable 
quantities in 1936 under the name New 
Jersey 87. It “topped” all varieties in price 
on the New York and Philadelphia mar¬ 
kets for several days. It outclasses such 
peaches as Slappey and South Haven in 
all-around market qualities.

Summercrest (N. J. 94) 
Early in the summer consumers of 
peaches in the East do not, as a rule, ap¬ 
pear to object if peaches are somewhat 
tart, but in late August many persons 
seek a peach which is quite sweet and 
free from bitterness. Summercrest is a 
large oval, yellow freestone, which meets 
these requirements as it develops in New 
Jersey. It is the one yellow-fleshed peach 
that persons who always buy Belle of 
Georgia will accept and call for more. 
No one wants an Elberta after eating a 
ripe Summercrest. 
The fruit is not quite as high colored 
as Triogem, Sunhigh or Goldeneast, but 
colors well if the trees are not too vege¬ 
tative. 
The tree is an exceptionally vigorous 
Summercrest 
grower in the nursery and in the orchard. 
It responds to good culture like any va¬ 
riety, but it can be made too vegetative 
by too rich or moist soil and the fruit 
may then lack high red color. In other 
words, it may be termed a good peach for 
a light soil and one a bit low in nitrogen. 
Some commercial growers in New Jersey 
have withheld nitrogen entirely since the 
trees attained bearing age. It is as hardy 
as J. H. Hale and adapted to regions simi¬ 
lar to central and southern New Jersey.
