and ripens 3 weeks earlier. The skin is yellow, blushed with red; flesh

Marigold—is an early peach, a cross between Lola and Arp. In shape, color, 
and flavor it resembles Arp, but while Arp is very stringy in texture and 
a strong cling, Marigold is a semi-cling with tender flesh and follows 
Mikado by a few days. 
Oriole—is in season about a week after Marigold and a week ahead of Gold- 
en Jubilee. The tree is vigorous and productive. The fruit is medium to 
large in size, roundish, yellow, very good in quality, and a freestone. It 
lacks the bright yellow of some varieties, but is very attractive. Oriole is 
notable as an early peach of high quality. 
Pioneer—is a large, oval, white-fleshed, almost freestone, and good-quality 
peach that ripens several days before Carman. The tree is vigorous and 
one of the hardiest in fruit bud. 
Sunbeam—ripens shortly after Oriole. It is exceptionally attractive but not 
as high in quality as Oriole. Semi-free, Of merit for freezing as flesh does 
not discolor when exposed to air. 
The four splendid varieties of peaches described below originated at the 
Horticultural Experiment Station, Vineland, Ontario, Canada. 
Valiant—a seedling of Elberta, is very promising. The fruit is large, round- 
ish oblate, yellow blushed with red, with firm juicy flesh of very good 
quality; a freestone. The trees are productive. It is in season by the first 
of September or about two weeks ahead of Elberta. Noteworthy because 
of earliness and rich delectable flavor. 
Vedette—one of the first Canadian varieties introduced, ripens a few days 
before Valiant. Like Valiant it was obtained from an Elberta seed. The 
tree is productive and the fruit is large, roundish oval, yellow fleshed, and 
a freestone. It ripens 3 weeks before Elberta and is superior to its parent 
not only in quality but in color as well. 
Veteran—originated in 1919-as a cross between Vaughan and Early Elberta. 
The fruit is large, round, yellow fleshed, usually a freestone, and far supe- 
rior to Elberta in quality. Since it ripens a few days later than Valiant, it 
makes a desirable sort to follow that variety. Hardy in bud. 
Viceroy—another yellow-fleshed, sometimes clings, high-quality peach from 
Vineland. Named and introduced as it was pronounced noteworthy by the 
Canadian growers. Ripens one day before Vedette.
