Hale’s Early. (SC) Fruit medium size, creamy white with red 
cheek. Good quality. Chief fault of this variety is the tendency 
of the fruit to run to small size, and its susceptibility to brown- 
rot. This variety should be planted on the best peach soils, heav- 
ily thinned and the trees severely pruned. 
Hale Haven. (F) More color than South Haven, and more 
free at pit. Thicker skin, yellow flesh, good quality. Same sea- 
son. Not quite as hardy as South Haven. 
HerbHale. (F) (Trade Mark Reg.) U.S. Plant Patent pend- 
ing. This new peach is of high quality, very large size, yellow 
meated, freestone, ripening right after Rochester. In size and 
appearance HerbHale resembles J. H. Hale, the fruit being very 
large, full, globular, and ‘‘heavy’’. This very outstanding peach 
Originated in the orchard of Mr. Herbert W. Donahey near 
Yakima, Washington. A U. S. Plant Patent is pending covering 
this variety. Mr. Donahey has planted in his orchard several 
hundred trees of HerbHale which are now coming into bearing 
and top-worked trees have produced fruit for several seasons. We 
believe HerbHale to be a promising early season shipping peach 
as the fruit is of large size, high quality, and attractive appear- 
ance. It is a very good home canner. Has not yet been tested by 
commercial fruit canneries. Trees are rapid, vigorous growers, 
hardy, and regular bearers. 
Indian Blood. (C) Fruit large, deep red; flesh deep red, firm 
and rich. An ideal peach for pickling and preserving. Ripens 
September. 
“May Flower. (SC) Fruit medium size, creamy white with 
bright red blush. Flesh greenish white tinged with red at the 
skin. Excellent flavor for an early peach. Ripens earliest of all 
peaches. Trees vigorous growers, bear young, productive. 
Miller. (C) Fruit large, yellow. Flesh clear yellow to pit, 
smooth grained, good quality and flavor. One of the best peaches 
for home canning. 
October Krummel. (F) An excellent late ripening, yellow 
meated, freestone peach—one of the very latest ripening vari- 
eties. Large size, round, deep yellow color with dark carmine 
blush. Tree strong grower, productive.
