THE COLORA PEACH 
DIXIGEM (a) 
A New Early, Yellow Fleshed Peach introduced by the 
U S. Department of Agriculture 
The DIXIGEM ripens several days ahead of the 
Golden Jubilee or about with Early Rose, Fisher and 
Redhaven. The fruit is medium size, ovate with 
light pubescence and a bright, attractive, red blush 
covering about half the surface. The ground color 
is a bright yellow. The flesh is yellow, medium to 
firm, having fine texture and excellent flavor. It is 
almost a freestone when fully ripe and is usually 
semi-free at shipping stage. 
The trees of Dixigem have been vigorous and pro- 
ductive, sometimes requiring thinning of fruit, but 
generally do not tend to overbear. While Dixigem 
has mostly been fruited in Georgia and other nearby 
southern states, its characteristics of early ripening 
season, good size, near freestone, high quality, at- 
tractive appearance and good tree growth, recom- 
mend it for trial as an early yellow shipping variety 
for all peach growing sections. It shows possibilities 
of stepping up our yellow peach season with a good 
commercial variety. 
REDHAVEN () For description see page 16. 
CUMBERLAND (5) The tree is a vigorous 
grower. The fruit at- 
tractively colored with red, oval in shape. The flesh 
is white, almost free. Ripens just before Carman. 
Cumberland continues to gain in popularity in all 
peach sections. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE “a 
A PROVEN MONEY MAKER 
No General Planting of Peaches is Complete Without 
A Liberal Amount of Golden Jubilee Trees. See Color 
Illustration Cover Page. 
A development of the New Jersey Experiment Sta- 
tion first offered by us during Fall shipping season 
of 1928. Planted and producing in every peach pro- 
ducing section of the United States and Canada and , 
stands without an equal as an early, yellow, free- 
* stone peach of exceptional quality. The Golden 
Jubilee is a second generation seedling of the Elberta 
crossed with the Greensboro. The tree is unusually 
hardy. The buds resist. low winter temperatures 
better than Elberta and open later than Elberta 
which insures a regular crop. The blossoms are self- 
fertile. The peach is medium to large in size. The 
peach develops better if a well balanced fertilizer 
is used. As the tree grows older the fruit becomes 
firmer and develops more naturally. Ripens about 
three to four weeks before Elberta. 
TRIOGEM (N.J. 70) (5b) An early, oval, red 
all over, firm, yel- 
low freestone peach ripening usually about two days 
after Golden Jubilee or 20 to 25 days before Elberta. 
The trees are medium in size, hardy and heavy bear- 
ers. Trees require good soil and good culture for 
best results. 
FAIR BEAUTY 6° 
HARDINESS—GREAT BEAUTY—HIGH QUALITY 
recommend this peach for most all sections. Unrivaled as 
an early canning variety. 
An early peach following Golden Jubilee three to 
five days. Tree vigorous, spreading, very hardy in 
bud, often producing a crop when other varieties are 
winter killed. Fruit is medium to large in size, skin 
a deep golden yellow blushed with bright red, the

flesh is firm, tender, melting and juicy. Fruit hangs 
exceptionally well to tree and when full ripe is a 
perfect Freestone, clinging slightly when the peach 
is hard ripe, an excellent market and canning peach 
which is adapted to both commercial and home use. 
We again grow and offer this fine variety because of 
numerous requests from growers. 
MEDIUM EARLY VARIETIES 
A large, oval, yel- 
low - fleshed peach 
which begins to ripen a few days after Triogem. The 
tree is somewhat more vigorous and the fruit aver- 
ages larger which makes the variety Somewhat easier 
to grow for market. The fruit is showy, firm in tex- 
ture and hangs to the tree well. It is not always a 
freestone but this has not apparently affected the 
market demand. 
FIREGLOW.(71) @®) feed peace aonien 
fleshed peach which 
begins to ripen a few days after Golden Jubilee. The 
fruit is firm and ripens slowly after being picked. 
Develops early color and is an all over attractive red. 
Quality is very good. Tree is somewhat tender in 
wood and bud and is recommended for planting in 
South Jersey and more southern latitudes. It is a

An Outstanding Hardy, Early, Yellow Free- 
stone Peach. 
High Color, Superb Quality, Size and Hardiness 
Are Reasons Why You Should Plant Colora. 
Introduced in 1936. 
Our own introduction of a new frost resistant, yel- 
low freestone peach. Second generation trees as well 
as the original branch have withstood temperatures 
during the past winters of about 17 degrees below 
zero, When most other varieties such as Elberta, 
Hiley Belle, Belle of Georgia, Early Elberta and J. 
H. Hale were wiped out by these low temperatures. 
The peach is an attractive yellow, freestone, well- 
colored and of excellent quality, ripening about 15 to 
20 days before Elberta. In size, it is about the same 
as Elberta. We believe the planters will find this a 
valuable variety for planting in cold areas. 
VEDETTE (7a) 
Size, High Color, Excellent Quality and Ship- 
ping Ability Establish the Vedette As One of the 
Leading Peaches to Follow Jubilee. 
A product of the Vineland Experimental Station, in 
Canada, proving unusually well adapted in the 
various peach growing sections of the United States. 
A seedling of Elberta, resembling that variety in 
color and type of flesh but is more globular in shape, 
more highly colored, and of finer quality. The fruit 
is of large size, yellow fleshed, freestone. The tree 
1s vigorous, very hardy, comes into bearing early and 
is very productive. 
SUNHIGH (N.J. 82) (7b) A large, red, bright, 
smooth peach which 
colors well all over before it ripens, softens slowly, 
making it a good commercial peach. Flesh inclines 
to adhere to the pit when hard ripe, but is generally 
freestone. The tree is spreading in growth and the 
dormant buds are hardy. The variety seems to do 
best in hilly sections and requires thorough summer

ITv’S NEW! IT’S GOOD! YOU SHOULD TEST IT 
WELL UNDER YOUR GROWING CONDITIONS. 
New Yellow Fleshed variety ripening in Hiley sea- 
son. Released by the U.S.D.A. July, 1946, and tested 
under #FV4-155. Southland is a_ seedling of 
Halehaven selfed. It ripens about with Hiley or 16 
days before Elberta. The fruit is a freestone, medium 
to large size, round, and has little fuzz. The color 
is attractive with a light-red blush covering about 
half the peach at shipping ripe stage. The flesh is 
yellow, firm, slow softening, medium textured, good 
flavor. 
The trees are vigorous and productive, blossoms 
large and self fertile. 
The variety has been fruited and tested in Georgia, 
Mississippi and Louisiana. Southland is recom- 
mended as a shipping variety to precede Sullivan 
Elberta in all southern areas and northern growers 
will find it outstanding to replace Hiley, Hclipse, 
Champion, South Haven and others which ripen in 
the same season. 
Note: We have observed the Southland at Fort 
Valley Experiment Station since 1941 and feel it will 
prove to be a fine long distance shipper, due to the 
firmness and slow softening trait shown after 
picking.
