New EARLY HALEHAVEN 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 325) 
A direct sport of the famous Halehaven which was origi- 
nated by Mr. Stanley E. Johnson of the South Haven Experi- 
ment Station. This Early Halehaven limb sport is identical in 
size, quality, flavor, production, hardiness, to its mother 
parent Peach tree, but ripens‘a week to 10 days earlier. 
The blood lines of the New Early Halehaven originated in 
the South Haven Peach tree which the Greening Nurseries dis- 
covered and introduced to the American Fruit Growing Indus- 
try. The South Haven is the half parent of the Halehaven 
(South Haven x J. H. Hale). For the earlier market we know 
of nothing that even approaches this remarkable new variety 
in its season. Because it ripens 10 days earlier than the Hale- 
haven it comes on the market when prices are most advantage- 
ous. The good fruit grower will plant this variety in reasonable 
quantities in his future plantings.

The New 
SUNDAY ELBERTA 
(U. S. Plant Patent No. 418) 
A WONDERFUL NEW HARDY STRAIN 
In seasons when Elberta froze in bud this new hardy 
strain has produced profitable crops. 
It is a seedling origination in orchard of Geo. P. Sunday, 
Baroda, Michigan, showing exceptional hardiness in bud, 
surpassing any variety of the season. Blossoms self-fertile 
assuring productiveness. Fruit large, smooth with little 
fuzz. Color attractive bright yellow and red. Flesh firm, 
orange yellow with pleasing flavor. Freestone, small pit. 
Good shipper and holds in storage. Ripens with Elberta 
or few days later. 
Originated at the South Haven Experiment Station from 
a cross between Halehaven and Kalhaven. Trees of this 
variety are above average in vigor. Examinations of fruit 
buds following the severe cold Winter showed that this 
withstood injury to buds as well as Sun-Glo, which is con- 
sidered one of the hardiest of Peaches. The trees bear 
young and require careful thinning to insure size. Blos- 
soms are self-fertile. The fruits of Redhaven ripen very 
early, about a month before Elberta. They are medium in 
size, slightly elongated in shape, and usually almost com- 
pletely covered with a brilliant red color. Where the 
ground color shows it is bright yellow. The skin is smooth 
and tough. The flesh is firm, fine-textured, moderately 
sweet in flavor and of good quality. Apparently the stone 
is always free. The firm flesh and tough skin indicate better 
handling qualities than are usually found in a Peach of 
this season.
