MIDSEASON VARIETIES—Cont. 
Belle of Georgia. Large size, white skin 
with deep red cheek, white flesh, firm 
and fine flavor; heavy bearer. Best can- 
ning qualities of any Peach on the 
market. Freestone. 
Elberta. The most extensively planted 
Peach, serving as a standard from which 
the quality and ripening periods of other 
varieties are reckoned. While Elberta 
continues to be the leading commercial 
variety, earlier yellow freestone varieties 
of better quality are gaining in popu- 
larity. Until the newer varieties are 
better known, Elberta will continue to 
be the leader. Middle August. 
Hale. A large, yellow, freestone Peach of 
the Elberta type. Excellent shipper, 
selling for top prices. Trees rather dwarf 
growers. 
Brackett. An improved Elberta ripening 
a few days later; same size, better color 
and better quality. Will hang on the 
tree longer and will hold up for a longer 
time after being picked. 

Gage Elberta. Originated in Illinois, 
where it is extremely popular and it is 
proving equally as popular wherever it 
has been tested, because of its resistance 
to bacteriosis. It is larger, has better 
color, and is equally as good a shipper 
fe the standard Elberta; ripens a week 
ater. 
Crawford’s Late. An old-time yellow 
freestone. Good quality and popular as 
a home and roadside market variety. 
Shipper’s Late Red. Resembles Hale 
ripening one week later than Elberta; 
larger, better quality and a better ship- 
per. This promising variety originated 
in Indiana and is still new in Virginia 
and adjoining states. The oldest and 
largest plantings of this variety are in 
the vicinity of Romney, West Virginia, 
where it is most popular. 
Roberta. A-yellow freestone of the EI- 
berta type, ripening a week later, which 
makes it desirable for extending the 
Elberta season. 
Golden Jubilee 
LATE VARIETIES 
Late Elberta. Yellow, freestone ripening 
two weeks later than Standard Elberta. 
Popular because of ripening at a time 
when good Peaches are scarce. Both a 
shipper and home orchard variety. 
Salwey. A yellow freestone. Best of its 
season. 
Indian Blood Cling. An old favorite 
home Peach. Excellent for pickling and 
canning. Flesh as red as a beet. 
Heath Cling (White Heath, etc.). An 
old-time favorite clingstone, very much 
in demand for pickling and canning. 
Large, round, firm white flesh; exceed- 
ingly juicy and ripens clear to the pit. 
Krummel’s (Krummel’s October). 
Large, yellow. with red cheek. One of 
the best and most popular late free- 
stones, ripening early in October.
