HISTORY OF THE FISHER PEACH 
The FISHER peach was discovered as a bud sport of 
the VALIANT in August 1934 near Queenstown, Ontar- 
io, Canada. Mr. Fisher found these large, well formed 
peaches growing on a single limb of a Valiant tree in 
his orchard, being attracted to the peach from the fact 
that it was ripening fully three weeks before the Valiant 
peaches on the rest of the tree. Realizing the commer- 
cial possibilities of a peach of this type and season, Mr. 
Visher’s next concern was whether the fruit would carry 
through to succeeding generations. To test it as quick- 
ly as possible he top worked a two year old Valiant 
tree with 12 buds from the Sport limb the first week 
in September, 1934. The Parent limb again bore a 
heavy crop in 1935 and the peaches developed as they 
did in 1984. The Parent limb repeated with a fine crop 
in 1936 and the top worked tree set a crop which re- 
quired thinning, the remaining peaches on the top 
yor ked tree developed exactly as those on the Parent 
imb. 
Observations of the FISHER PEACH on fruiting 
trees in the TEST Orchards of the Bountiful Ridge 
Nurseries near Princess Anne in 1941. 
FISHER came through in our test orchard this year 
with a very heavy crop. Fruits sized up well; were 
very beautifully colored and handsome fruits. Observ- 
ing this peach here and in other locations this year 
FISHER has proven its ability to fruit heavy on young 
trees, to size its fruits well, and the tree seems to adapt 
itself over wide areas but should have 60 ft. elevation 
or more and develops better on light soil with some 
gravel or shale. The trees are vigorous and should have 
a well balanced fertilizer which will harden the fruits 
considerably for shipping to distant markets. WE BE- 
LIEVE TIME WILL PROVE THE FISHER HAS A 
DEFINITE PLACE IN OUR PEACH VARIETY LIST, 
ESPECIALLY FOR THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN 
GROWER. ITS SIZE, BEAUTIFUL COLORING, HIGH 
QUALITY, THE FLESH BEING A CLEAR YELLOW 
FROM PIT TO SKIN AND ITS SEASON, RIPENING 
10 DAYS BEFORE GOLDEN JUBILEE MAKES IT 
WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION BY EVERY PLANT- 
ER. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND FISHER FOR 
TRIAL IN ALL COMMERCIAL PEACH SECTIONS. 
WARNING: The Fisher peach is a patented variety 
which cannot be propogated for any purpose by anyone 
other than the authorized growers and distributors.

RED HAVEN (5B) 
It looks like another 
“GREAT COMMERCIAL PEACH FROM SOUTH 
HAVEN EXPERIMENT STATION” 
BEAUTIFUL COLOR, YELLOW FLESHED, FREE- 
STONE, VERY FIRM, RIPENS 8 DAYS 
BEFORE GOLDEN JUBILEE. 
We congratulate those at South Haven Station on 
releasing to the peach world another variety which has 
every promise of becoming one of our great commer- 
cial peaches. RED HAVEN is a cross between Hale 
Haven and Kalhaven. We first observed this variety 
in 1939 and had our first fruits here in our test orchards 
this year. It colors a brilliant red and beautiful yellow. 
Skin is smooth, almost fuzless, resembling J. H. Hale 
in color, skin and flesh. Flesh is very firm and fruits 
ripen uniformly. Tree is very vigorous with heavy bud 
set and bears young. Fruits medium size and well fill- 
ed when ready to pick, suture being rather prominent 
until peach approaches picking period. Growers may 
be inclined to pick too early because of good color and 
should watch this and when trees set too heavy thinning 
should be practiced to increase size of the fruits. Trees 
are proving satisfactory in test plantings over a wide 
area. IT IS A PEACH EVERY GROWER SHOULD 
WATCH AND MAKE TRIAL PLANTINGS OF AS A 
COMMERCIAL PEACH TO PRECEDE THE GOLDEN 
JUBILEEK AND HALE HAVEN. 
GEMMERS LATE ELBERTA (15B) 
Beautiful color, large size, excellent quality, fine ship- 
ping and keeping ability combine in GEMMERS LATE 
ELBERTA to make it one of the most promising varie- 
ties we have ever observed to follow the Elberta season. 
Originating in the orchards of Mr. Conrad Gemmer, 
Sussex, N. J., we have observed this peach for several 
years and it seems superior in appearance, size, quality 
and shipping ability to any other peach we now have 
to follow Elberta. It is a typical Elberta in fruit and 
tree characteristics. It ripens 10 to 12 days after El- 
berta, just following Shippers Late Red and before 
Lizzie and Salberta. There is a place here for a good 
Elberta type peach and we believe Gemmers Late El- 
berta will fill it. N. J. Experiment Station has grown 
Gemmers for several years and seem favorably impres- 
sed with its performance at New Brunswick. Fruits 
are very uniform, large, well colored with a brilliant 
red on an attractive golden yellow, almost fuzless, have- 
ing a smooth tough skin. Flesh very firm, being slight- 
ly tinged with red about the pit but red does not extend 
into the golden yellow flesh. Originating at Sussex, N. 
J., well up in the Mountains where many varieties of 
peaches fail to stand their climatie conditions should 
recommend GHMMBERS as a hardy variety both in tree 
and bud. WE RECOMMEND “‘‘GEMMERS LATE EL- 
BERTA” FOR TRIAL IN ALL PEACH SECTIONS 
WHERE YOU WISH TO CONTINUE THE ELBERTA 
SEASON WITH A REAL PEACH. 
NOTE—We are entirely sold out of REDHAVEN and GEMMERS LATE ELBERTA Trees for shipment during the 
Spring season of 1942. 
We could not foresee the enthusiastic acceptance by the planters of these two promising va- 
rieties and therefore our supply of both varieties will be somewhat limited for delivery during Fall 1942 and Spring 
1943. 
We recommend you place orders early for these varieties.
