Hunter—is said to have come from an Elberta pit. The tree is vigorous and 
productive. The fruit is large, round, yellow with a heavy blush. The flesh 
is free from the stone, with the true nectarine flavor, although somewhat 
tart. It ripens in midseason, 
John Rivers—is an early variety, ripening the first week of August. The tree 
is small but productive. The fruit is of medium size, nearly covered with 
red, and is of very good quality; the flesh is white and adherent to the 
stone. This variety begins the nectarine season. 
Rivers Orange—is a yellow-fleshed nectarine which ripens in early mid- 
season. The fruit is a freestone nearly covered with a dark red blush. No 
nectarine has a richer, sweeter flavor. This is one of the choicely good 
European sorts. 
Sure Crop—was imported from New Zealand by the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture and so far is the most promising nectarine at the New York 
Experiment Station. The tree is vigorous and productive. The fruits are 
large, roundish, white and overlaid with very attractive red. The flesh is 
firm, tender, free from the stone, and very pleasing in flavor; late mid- 
season. If only one nectarine can be grown Sure Crop should be selected. 
PEACHES 
Thanks mainly to the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and the 
Horticultural Experiment Station, Vineland, Canada, we now have a succes- 
sion of peaches thruout the peach season. 
Mikado—is the most popular, very early yellow. The tree is medium in size 
and vigor and is productive. The fruit ripens the first week of August, is 
medium in size, round in shape, semi-cling, and attractive yellow blushed 
with red. The quality is good. Mikado is pollen-sterile and therefore re- 
quires cross-pollination. 
The following varieties are recent introductions of merit from the New 
Jersey Experiment Station: 
Cumberland—originated as a cross between Belle and Greensboro. The fruit 
is above medium in size, attractive in color and shape, good in quality, and 
ripens with Pioneer. The stone is practically free. 
Delicious—is a white-fleshed seedling of Belle. The tree is vigorous and pro- 
ductive. Fruit is of the Belle type, medium to large in size and very at- 
tractive; flesh medium firm, good or above in quality, and free from the 
stone. Delicious is in season just ahead of Carman and surpasses that 
variety in appearance and quality. 
Eclipse—is a self-pollinated seedling of Belle. The trees are productive. In 
size and shape the fruits resemble those of the well-known Belle. The color 
is an attractive yellow with a deep blush; flesh fine-grained; quality good; 
a freestone; midseason. 
Golden Jubilee—a second generation seedling of Elberta and Breanne is 
a large early peach, It resembles Elberta in shape, but is better in quality
