PEACHES 

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. 



PEACHES—Continued 
Kalhaven (South Haven Experiment Station). A cross between 
the J. H. Haleand Kalamazoo. Tree medium to large, produc- 
tive and apparently considerably above average in hardiness. 
Blossoms are self-fertile. Fruit of this variety are medium to 
large, rather longer than round. The ground color is rich yel- 
low overspread with deep red. Skin rather thick and tough, 
resulting in good shipping qualities. Flesh fine textured, some- 
what red at the pit. Perfect freestone. Ripens seven days 
before Elberta. 
New Red Haven (South Haven Experiment Station). An ex- 
ceptional early variety. Originated at the South Haven Ex- 
periment Station from a cross between Halehaven and Kal- 
haven. Trees above average in vigor. Examinations of fruit 
buds following severe cold Winters show that it withstood in- 
jury to buds as well as Sun-Glo, which is considered one of the 
hardiest of Peaches. Trees bear young and require thinning to 
insure size. Blossoms are self-fertile. The fruits ripen about a 
month before Elberta. Medium in size, slightly elongated in 
shape, and usually almost completely 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. Freestone. 
Oriole (South Haven Experiment Station). An early maturing 
variety. The tree is vigorous and hardy. An early bearer, 
and consistent producer. The fruit is medium in size. Due to 
its inclination to bear heavily it must be well thinned. The 
shape is somewhat round. Attractive in appearance, having a 
plentiful supply of red coloring, with enough yellow for con- 
trast. The flesh is yellow, fine grained, juicy, and of excellent 
quality. The pit is tree. Splendid for local markets and short 
shipments. Ripens approximately one week before Rochester, 
or about 4 weeks before Elberta. 
Rochester (Green). A yellow freestone Peach ripening about 
August 10th; extraordinarily sweet and early bearing. In 
other respects it compares favorably with the best standard 
varieties. Fruit is large, yellow in color, prettily blushed. 
Flesh sweet, juicy and of delicious flavor. It keeps and ships 
well. Tree a vigorous grower, hardy and an annual bearer. 
Salberta (Rofgar). A late ripening yellow Peach. Size medium 
to large nearly round. Color deep yellow with dull red cheek. 
Flesh yellow, firm and very juicy. Ripens two weeks after 
Elberta in Northern Ohio. 
Shippers Late Red (Big Red). (Strau.) The fruit is a perfect 
freestone, oblong, larger than Elberta; skin is fine golden yel- 
low, almost completely covered with a splendid rich red mak- 
ing the well ripened fruit on the tree appear as if it were solid 
red all over. Excellent shipping quality; flesh rich yellow, 
moderately fine grained (no fiber), juicy and of good quality; 
ripens about one week to ten days after Elberta. A large, 
spreading tree and a heavy annual bearer. Should not be 
planted closer than 25 ft. 
175 Peaches on Tree Out Two Years

Monroe, Michigan 
I have one of the finest orchards in our country. My trees 
have been out two years and the Peach trees have from 75 to 
175 peaches on a tree. Of course, I have been picking most of 
them off. I didn’t think it would hurt the tree as the soil is rich 
and I have taken extra care of the orchard. I have been more 
than satisfied with all of my trees from your nursery.

Another Reason for Greening’s Super- Quality Trees 
PEACH PIT PLANTER 
Another one of Greenings own inventions to improve 
quality, make possible enormous production of Peach trees. 
Plants 560,000 pits per day. We plant only the small, wild, 
natural pits (1). They have been found to be free from 
Peach Yellows, Little Peach, X Disease, Phony Peach, Red 
Suture and other virus diseases. That marked (2) is a 
domestic or ‘‘cannery’”’ pit, more apt to carry disease. 
Greening ‘‘Bud-Selection”’ by grafting on these disease-free 
seedlings is just one more safeguard to the grower ! 

South Haven. See Sun-Glo which is our bud selected 
South Haven. 
Sun-Glo (Greening’s Improved Bud Selected South Haven). 
A prolific bearer of fruit of large size, excellent flavor and qual- 
ity. The celebrated South Haven Peach was an exclusive 
Greening achievement. In the Sun-Glo you have the South 
Haven at its Super-Selected best, being the second generation 
of a Greening Super-Selected South Haven. Sun-Glo, the 
hardiest of all commercial Peaches, is a consistent cropper, 
producing a full crop of marvelous fruit in seasons when crops 
of other varieties are destroyed by frost. The Sun-Glo Peach 
and its parent the South Haven, have been the leading money- 
making commercial Peaches since their introduction by us. 
The fruit is large, roundish, thick skinned, very uniform in size. 
Color deep yellow with red cheek. Stone is free. Ripens ap- 
proximately 18 days before Elberta at a time to bring high 
market prices. 
Valiant (Geneva). An excellent quality Peach both in fresh 
fruit and as a canned Peach. Especially popular in Ontario 
and New York fruit districts. Fruit is medium to large. Dark 
cheek, flesh yellow, fine and juicy. Flavor sub-acid. Ripens 17 
days before Elberta. Tree vigorous and healthy. 
Wilma (Wichel). A real Elberta in tree and fruit, but ripens one 
week later. This variety was discovered by Wm. Rofgar of 
Catawba Island, Ohio. It was selected from several hundred 
seedlings of Elberta and named after his daughter. The vari- 
ety has steadily increased in popularity on its own merits.
