TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS FOR THE HOME 
PEACHES 
Early Ripening 
Carman. White, red cheek, flesh white, fine flavor. July. 
Red Bird Cling. Best early Peach. Fruit good size, showy, 
creamy white, blushed. Flesh white, firm. Good shipper. 
Early Perfection. Early white. 
Midseason Ripening 
Belle of Georgia. Large, white, red cheek; flesh white, firm; 
excellent flavor. Early September. 
Big Red. (Shipper’s Late Red). Without doubt the best of 
all commercial peaches. Beautiful, round, red, flesh yellow; 
bears young and prolifically. 
Champion. White, red cheek, large, early, productive. Sweet, 
rich, and juicy. August. 
Crawford’s Early. Magnificent large yellow peach, good 
quality. Early September. 
Early Elberta. About a week earlier than Elberta, with all 
its good qualities. 
Elberta. The great market peach. Large, yellow, with red 
cheek; firm, yellow, juicy flesh; exceedingly prolific. Early 
September. 
Fitzgerald. Midseason. Fitzgerald is very similar to Early 
Crawford but generally ripens a few days earlier. The skin 
is golden, overspread with dull red blush; thin but tough. 
Flesh yellow rayed with red at the pit, juicy, rather firm 
but tender and sweet, pleasant flavor and good quality. Size 
large. Stone free. Tree of medium size. Extremely hardy; 
originated in Canada. 
Golden Jubilee. A new variety, highly recommended by the 
Kentucky Experiment Station. Midseason and of unexcelled 
quality; yellow flesh with distinct blush. 
Hale-Haven. A large new yellow freestone; developed at 
Michigan Experiment Station, by crossing the two popular 
varieties, J. H. Hale and South Haven. Its high color even 
before complete ripening, gives it great market value because 
of the advantage of premature picking, packing, and ship¬ 
ping without loss. It tests very high for hardiness and pro¬ 
duction. Ready two weeks before Elberta. 
Kalamazoo. Large, yellow, extra productive. Early Septem¬ 
ber. 
J. H. Hale. Superior to Elberta in size and flavor. Well worth 
planting. Early September. 
Mountain Rose. Large; yellow with red cheek; flesh white 
and juicy. August. 
Rochester. Fruit large, yellow, sweet, juicy. Keeps and ships 
well. August. 
South Haven. Better color and quality than Elberta. Larger 
and ripens 10 to 14 days earlier. Has been much hardier 
than other yellow Peaches and because of our tests we recom¬ 
mend it highly.
