GREENING’S ^ Largest Peach Tree Growers in America 
ROCHESTER (Quigley) —A yellow free-stone 
peach having the exceptional merits of being 
early, ripening about August 10th; extraordi¬ 
narily sweet and early bearing. In otner respects 
it compares favorably with the best standard 
varieties. Fruit is large, yellow in color, prettily 
blushed. Flesh sweet, juicy and of delicious 
flavor. It keeps and ships well. Tree a vigorous 
grower, hardy and an annual and prolific 
bearer. Season three weeks before Elberta. 
ST. JOHN (Spencer)— A great peach. Fruit large, 
round, brilliant, showy. Color yellow with a 
fine red cheek. Flavor unexcelled by any other 
peach. One of the earliest yellow peaches. 
Bears young. Moderately productive and ripens 
three weeks before Elberta. 
SALBERTA— A new yellow peach originating 
on the farm of William Rofgar on Catawba 
Island, Ohio. (The growers in the Peach Belt 
of Northern Ohio think this is a very valuable 
variety. Size medium to large, nearly round. 
Color deep yellow with dull red cheek. Flesh 
yellow, firm and very juicy. Season September, 
in Northern Ohio. 
SALWEY (Fowler) —Fruit large and roundish. 
Color deep yellow with a dull red cheek. 
Flesh yellow, firm, juicy and rich. One of the 
very best late peaches where it will ripen. 
Ripens after Kihiken Smock, about three weeks 
after Elberta. 
SEPTEMBER MAMMOTH (Wier) —Fruit extra 
large, somewhat elongated. Color yellow, de¬ 
licious Ravor. Free stone. A good bearer and 
one of the finest peaches to plant for home 
purposes. The tree originated here in Monroe 
from a seedling. Of northern origin, therefore 
hardier than the Elberta. This peach was intro¬ 
duced by us after careful observation of its 
habits and we recommend it highly. Season ten 
days after Elberta. 
SHIPPER’S LATE RED (Strau)— The fruit is a 
perfect free-stone, oblong, larger than Elberta,- 
skin is a fine golden yellow, almost completely 
covered with a splendid rich red making, the 
well ripened fruit on the tree appear as if it 
were a solid red all over, and the texture of 
the skin is such as to give the peach the highest 
shipping quality,- Resh rich yellow, moderately 
fine grained (no fiber), juicy and of good quality,- 
ripens about one week to ten days after Elberta. 
A large, spreading tree and a heavy annual 
bearer. Should not be planted closer than 
twenty-five feet. 
SOUTH HAVEN— See Sun- 
Glo which is our Bud 
Seledted South FRaven. 
A SUN-GLO (Greenings’ Im¬ 
proved Bud Selected South 
Haven) —Another big favor¬ 
ite among successful peach 
growers. A prolific bearer 
of fruit of large size, excel¬ 
lent flavor and quality that is 
unsurpassed. The celebrated 
South FRaven peach was an 
exclusive Greening achieve¬ 
ment. In the Sun-Glo you 
have the South FRaven at its 
Super-Selected best, being 
the second generation of a 
Greening Super - Selected 
South FRaven known as Tree 
No. 20 in the Spencer Or¬ 
chards, in Michigan. Only 
Greening methods can pro¬ 
duce such consistent im¬ 
provement. Sun-Glo, the 
hardiest of all commercial 
peaches, is a consistent 
cropper, producing a full 
crop of marvelous fruit in seasons when crops 
of other varieties are destroyed by frost. The 
Sun-Glo peach and its parent the South FRaven 
have been the leading money-making com¬ 
mercial peaches since their introduction by us. 
The Sun-Glo produces full crops under most 
adverse conditions. The fruit is large, roundish, 
thick skinned, very uniform in size. Color deep 
yellow with red cheek. Stone is free. Ripens 
approximately eighteen days before Elberta, at 
a time to bring high market prices. 
WILMA (Wichel) —A real Elberta in tree and 
fruit, but ripens one week later. This variety 
was discovered by Wm. Rofgar, of Catawba 
Island, Ohio. It was selected from several hun¬ 
dred seedlings of Elberta and named after his 
daughter. The variety has steadily increased in 
popularity on its own merits.

What a Task! 
No nurseryman can give you, for 
many years to come, bud selected 
stock backed by such knowledge 
and experience as Greening’s—not 
until he has spent an equally long 
period of time and study, applied 
the same high skill and horticultural 
knowledge and exercised the same 
keenness of observation that 
have been invested 
by Greening’s. 
Of new varieties we are tolerant, yet in the 
end we apply the inflexible yardstick of 
Greening quality.
