of good flavor. Acquires its attractive red 
blush long before it is ready to pick. Promis-

A desirable variety where a succession of 
ripening fruit is desired for home use, roadside 
stand, and local market. 
*ELBERTA. Continues to be the most ex- 
tensively planted Peach, not the best Peach 
in quality, but its size, color and firmness 
combine to make it the most popular com- 
mercial variety. Even takes first place in 
home orchard planting. More than one-third 
of all the Peaches we sell is Elberta. Yellow 
freestone, red cheek. Middle August.

Experiment Station introduction. Large, 
firm, highly colored yellow freestone, ripening 
15 days ahead of Elberta. 
*GOLDEN JUBILEE. While still a new Peach, 
it possibly ranks second among varieties in the 
number of trees being planted. One of the 
earliest freestone Peaches of good quality. 
Good shipper. Demands the top prices because 
of its earliness and superior quality. This excel- 
lent new Peach is now being planted in almost 
every commercial orchard, as well as in home 
orchards. July.
