Rosedale’s Select Peaches for Home Planting 
* 

PEACH, BABCOCK 
Peaches are an all around useful tree for home planting. Few others 
do as well, so freely setting their luscious fruits with so little trouble. 
The trees bear well even while small, and never get very large. Ever 
pick peaches fresh from your own tree? If you have, you understand 
our enthusiasm for this choice fruit. If not, you have one of the greatest 
pleasures in store for you. 
There are two types of peaches, ‘’clingstone’’ in which the stone 
adheres to the flesh when the fruit is cut in two, and “‘freestone’’ which 
does not. Clings are the finest for home canning, presenting a tempting 
color and possessing a rich flavor. Freestone peaches are best for eating 
fresh, although they can well, too. The yellow varieties are best for 
canning. Selections can be made to have peaches fresh in the garden 
long before and after they are on the market. 
FREESTONE PEACHES 
Australian Saucer 
Oddly shaped saucer-like peaches about 3 inches across and less 
than one inch thick with a small round stone, but for flavor the sweet, 
juicy white flesh is very fine. One of the showiest trees for early spring 
flowers—beautiful deep pink. June. Each $1.25. 
Babcock 
Finest for Southern California, particularly in home gardens. The 
trees, usually small in size, bear prodigious crops year after year, 
often so heavy that thinning is necessary to give larger fruit and pre- 
vent breaking of the tree. Fruits practically fuzzless, delicious, richly 
flavored white flesh. Attractive on the outside with their lovely deep 
red cheeks. Keep well after picking. Late June. Each $1.25. 
Socala 
Early ripener. Good quality, almost round, medium sized fruit. 
Skin yellow with deep red cheek and a beautiful orange cast to the 
skin. Excellent firm yellow flesh, very delicious. Bears good crops each 
year. Early July. Each $1.25. 
Elberta 
An old favorite, well known wherever peaches are grown. It has fine 
large oval shaped fruits—yellow with red cheeks and juicy, yellow, 
fine flavored high quality flesh. Early August. Each $1.25. 

34 ROSEDALE’S 

PEACH, GOLDEN BLUSH (Pat. No. 473) 
Golden Blush 
The golden yellow fruits of this variety are about the size and 
shape of J. H. Hale or Elberta and have beautiful red cheeks. They are 
of exceptionally fine quality. Bred for southern California winters, 
they will produce consistently year after year regardless of the winter. 
Ripens in mid-August. (Pat. 473.) Small trees only. Each $2.00.

White fleshed freestone peach whose parents were J. H. Hale and 
Babcock. Isn‘t this enough recommendation for a good peach? It 
produces heavy crops of medium size fruits, sweet and juicy. Ripens 
about mid-July. Makes a vigorous growing tree and the fruits are ex- 
cellent for eating or canning. Each $1.25. 
Indian Blood 
Most unusual appearing peach. Also unusually delicious sliced and 
eaten fresh. The deep red flesh is very tasty—the skin very dark and 
covered with a thick almost wooly fuzz. Fruits of medium size, and 
round in shape. Late August. Each $1.25. 
J. H. Hale 
An old favorite, large, round fruit, very beautiful to look at and 
delicious to eat. Glossy yellow skin marked with deep red. Very 
popular and excellent quality. Bears well except after very mild 
winters. Middle August. Each $1.25.
