Peaches 
Golden Jubilee 
GOLDEN JUBILEE. A second generation seedling of 
Elberta and Greensboro, is a large early peach. 
Resembles Elberta in shape, but it is better in quality 
and ripens 3 weeks earlier. Skin yellow, blushed 
with red,- flesh yellow, juicy, medium firm, tender,- 
sweet or slightly subacid,- freestone. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA. The best early September 
market peach. A standard commercial variety, planted 
by nearly all growers, ripening with Old Mixon 
which it has largely superceded. Fuit very large, 
white with red cheek, very freestone, and white 
flesh. Fair quality. 
CARMAN. One of the hardiest, most reliable market 
peaches. Large, rich, juicy, and of fair quality. Yellow 
white, with deep blush. Skin very tough, making a 
good shipper and free from rot. 
CHAMPION. The earliest iron-clad peach. Remark¬ 
able for its size and a freestone of high quality. White 
with red cheek. Season, late August. Unexcelled for 
canning. 
EARLY ELBERTA. Very large, high quality. Flesh is 
fine grained, sweet. Mid-season. 
ELBERTA. The peer of all commercial peaches Mid¬ 
season, extra large, light yellow, with red cheek, a 
perfect freestone. Tree vigorous and prolific, suc¬ 
ceeding universally wherever peaches can be grown. 
GREENSBORO. The most popular July peach. A 
white-fleshed, clingstone. Fruit large and showy, 
rather poor quality, but shipping and standing up 
well. Skin greenish white, blushed and striped with 
dark red. Tree enormously productive and early 
bearing. 
HALE HAVEN. A new yellow freestone. A cross 
between J. H. Hale and South Haven. Ripens 2 
weeks before Elberta. Large, highly colored. Hardy 
and productive. 
J. H. HALE. Bridg es the gap between Rochester and 
Elberta. One of the largest peaches. Superior to 
Elberta in size, firmness and shipping quality. Yellow 
and red coloring. Highly attractive but unfortunately 
not as prolific as a commercial fruit should be. Prob¬ 
ably somewhat self-sterile. Flesh fine grained and 
quality good. 
MIKADO. A popular early variety. Medium in size 
and vigor and very productive in mixed plantings. 
The fruit is of good quality,- ripens the first week of 
August, is medium in size, round in shape, semi-cling, 
and is attractive yellow blushed with red. Mikado 
is pollen-sterile and so requires cross-pollination. 
ROCHESTER. A peach of the Crawford type. Fruit of 
large size, with thick skin, orange yellow, blushed 
with dark red. Flesh yellow, very juicy, first rate 
quality and freestone. Tree a vigorous grower, bear¬ 
ing very young. Season, mid-August.

size. Comes into market just before Elberta. Beautiful 
color and freestone. Very hardy and highly recom¬ 
mended.

freestone peach. Hardy and of extra good quality.

VALIANT. Canadian origination ripening in early 
September. Fruit very large and of fine quality.
