MONROE, MICHIGAN [9] 
PEACHES —Continued 
Halehaven (South Haven Experiment 
Born 1850 and Still Growing 
Rochester (Green). A yellow freestone 
Peach having the exceptional merits 
Station). This marvelous new Peach 
was introduced through the efforts of 
the Michigan State Experiment Sta- 
tion, South Haven, Michigan (Mr. 
Stanley Johnson, Supt.) It is a cross 
between the famous varieties, South 
Haven and J. H. Hale. A large, beau- 
tifully colored, yellow fleshed peach, 
ripening approximately two weeks be- 
fore Elberta. A perfect freestone, 
strong, thrifty grower, a good shipper 
and an extremely hardy, heavy bearer 
of exceptionally fine flavor. The Hale- 
haven produced full crops in 1933 at 
the Experiment Station when crops of 
many other standard varieties were a 
failure due to low temperatures the 
previous Winter. This variety will 
make you big money and should be 
included in every planting. 
Howard Fisher (Dulverton Fruit Farm 
U.S. Plant Pat. No. 233). Large yel- 
low flesh, freestone Peach, sport of 
Valiant but ripening three weeks 
earlier or about six weeks earlier than 
Elberta. Has dark red blush covering 
nearly half of surface and has same 
excellent flavor and fine grained flesh 
of parent. Fruit holds to tree when 
fully ripe. Excellent canning variety 
as it has no red around pit. 
J. H. Hale (Warner No. 4). This high 
type Super-Selected Strain of J. H. 
Hale is the finest to be obtained. The 
long Elberta shape type of J. H. Hale 
is mixed largely in plantings of J. H. 
Hale, which is very undesirable. 
Through bud selection we have pro- 
duced a strain of J. H. Hale which will 
produce the typical large round type 
of fruit desired in this variety. This 
Warner parent tree produced three 
bushels of typical large, round type 
Hales when it was only 3 years old. 
Young orchards of the Warner strain 
have reproduced this most desired 
type. The Sun-Glois recommendedasa 
pollenizer for Warner strain J. H. Hale 
Peaches in Their Ripening 
Order 
Ripening dates vary from year to 
year depending on climatic and weath- 
er conditions. In normal season the 
ripening date of Elberta is Septem- 
ber 10th to 20th in Michigan and 
nearby areas. Elberta is listed a 
standard and ripening of other 
Peaches is estimated from the ripen- 
ing of this variety. As you will note 
Greening varieties extend through- 
out the entire season.

of being early, ripening about August 
10th; extraordinarily sweet and early 
bearing. In other respects it compares 
favorably with the best standard vari- 
eties. 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 bear- 
er. Season three weeks before Elberta. 
Salberta (Rofgar). A new late ripening 
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. Ripens two weeks after 
Elberta in Northern Ohio. 
Shippers Late Red (Big Red) (Strau). 
The fruit is a perfect freestone, oblong, 
larger than Elberta; skin is fine golden 
yellow, almost completely covered 
with a splendid rich red making the 
well ripened fruit on the tree appear 
as if it were solid red all over, and the 
texture of the skin is such as to give 
the Peach the highest shipping qual- 
ity; flesh 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 25 ft. 
South Haven. See Sun-Glo which is 
our bud selected South Haven. 
Sun-Glo (Greening’s Improved Bud 
Selected South Haven). Another big 
favorite among successful Peach 
growers. A prolific bearer of fruit of 
large size, excellent flavor and quality 
that is unsurpassed. The celebrated 
South Haven Peach was an exclusive 
Greening achievement. In the Sun- 
Glo you have the South Haven at its 
Super-Selected best, being the second 
generation of a Greening Super-Selected South Haven known 
as Tree No. 20 in the Spencer Orchards, in Michigan. Only 
Greening methods can produce such consistent improvement. 
Sun-Glo, the hardiest of all commercial Peaches, is a con- 
sistent 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 Haven, have 
Kalhaven (South Haven Experiment Station). Variety intro- 
duced by South Haven Experiment Station from a cross be- 
tween the J. H. Hale and Kalamazoo made in 1924. Tree me- 
dium to,large, productive and apparently considerably above 
average in hardiness. Blossoms are self-fertile. Fruit of this 
variety are medium to large, rather longer than round. The 
ground color is rich yellow overspread with deep red. Skin 
rather thick and tough, resulting in good shipping qualities. 
Flesh fine textured, somewhat red at the pit. Perfect freestone. 
Ripens seven days before Elberta. 
Oriole (South Haven Experiment Station). This variety origi- 
nated at the New Jersey Experiment Station and has been 
tested in Michigan for several years. It is an early-maturing 
variety. The tree is vigorous and hardy. During the Winter of 
1932-33, 95 per cent of the buds of this variety survived a 
temperature of 10 degrees below zero, which was a better rec- 
ord than was made by some other known hardy varieties. It 
is an early bearer, beginning at 3 years of age. It has also been 
a consistent producer. The fruit is medium in size. Due to its 
inclination to bear heavily it must be well thinned. The shape 
is somewhat round. It is attractive in appearance, having a 
plentiful supply of red coloring, with enough yellow for 
contrast. The flesh is yellow, fine grained, juicy, and of 
excellent quality. The pit is free. It is splendid for local 
markets and short shipments. Ripens approximately one 
week before Rochester, or about 4 weeks before Elberta.

175 Peaches on Tree Out Two Years 
Greening Nursery Company 
Monroe, Michigan 
I have one of the finest orchards in our country. My trees 
have been out two years and the Peach trees have from 7) tO 
175 peaches on a tree. Of course, I have been picking most of 
them off. I didn’t think it would hurt the tree as the soil is rich 
and I have taken extra care of the orchard. I have been more 
than satisfied with all of my trees from your nursery.
