McMINNVILLE, TENNESSEE 13 
Early Elberta. Ripens about ten days before 
Elberta. More roundish and slightly sweeter. 
Elberta. The standard yellow peach. Grows in 
every peach growing state. Gives good crops of 
well-formed fruit. 
Golden Jubilee. An early, yellow freestone 
peach, ripening from three to four weeks before 
Elberta. Very highly praised wherever grown, 
both as a market and home variety. 
_Hiley. A variety similar to Belle of Georgia, but 
ripens at least two weeks earlier. White with red 
cheek. White, juicy flesh. Good shipper. 
Early Hiley. Large, freestone peach; flesh white, 
with general appearance and qualities of regular 
Hiley Belle, except ripens about ten days earlier. 
Was developed from sport limb of regular Hiley in 
southern Georgia. Prolific bearer and good ship- 
per. Favorite and profitable for early market. 
J. H. Hale. A large, deep red peach with yellow 
flesh. Has practically no fuzz, and the strong 
flavor characteristics of Elberta is absent. Ripens 
in mid-July. 
Gage Elberta. This comparatively recent intro- 
duction came from an Illinois orchard from a bud 
sport of Elberta, and in its years of trial has proven 
highly disease resistant. Tree has many charac- 
teristics of the Elberta, but is more spreading in 
habit of growth. Blooms come later than those of 
Elberta, and fruit ripens about 5 days after El- 
berta. 
Late Elberta. Almost identical with Elberta, ex- 
cept ripens about ten days later. A good follow- 
up for Elberta. 
Shippers Late Red. A splendid peach to follow 
Elberta, which it follows about one week. The 
fruit is large, colored red, with yellow flesh and 
free-stone. Fruit is firm and ships well. A de- 
sirable variety. 
Mayflower. Ripens earlier than any other peach. 
Trees hardy, and productive. Fruit medium, en- 
tirely covered with red. Ripens before June 1 in 
this section. 
Red Bird. One of the best early peaches. Bright 
red color, with good flavor. Good commercial va- 
riety. Ripens in early June. 
Rochester. One of the hardiest varieties. Large- 
ly grown in the Eastern states, but has proven a 
good variety almost everywhere planted. Fruit 
long pointed. Flesh yellow, stained red near seed. 
Heath Cling. One of the old favorites. A late, 
white clingstone peach that keeps well when re- 
moved from tree. Excellent for cooking whole as 
stone gives no bad flavor. Ripens in September. 
Krummel. A valuable peach where a late va- 
riety is wanted. Color light yellow, blushed with 
carmine. Flesh yellow, fine texture, juicy and 
somewhat acid.
