New Fairhaven Peach 
NEW FAIRHAVEN 
The season of maturity of Fairhaven is about a week 
before Halehaven or the finish of Golden Jubilee. The 
original tree has produced heavy crops of fruit since 
1939 at the South Haven Experiment Station, fruit buds 
are fully as hardy as Halehaven. Fairhaven has the 
same tendency for heavy fruit setting as Halehaven and 
Redhaven, but produces fruits of larger size than these 
two varieties under heavily loaded conditions, is very 
dependable. Fruits of Fairhaven are good size, nearly 
round, and mostly bright gold in color, with an attrac- 
tive bright red cheek.. The skin is smooth and very 
tough. The golden color becomes bright while the fruit 
is still firm. The fruits are very firm and ship excep- 
tionally well for an early peach. The flesh is medium- 
yellow with a moderate amount of red color at the pit, 
moderately fine-textured and of good flavor. It resists 
browning, which is a great advantage, especially in pro- 
cessing. FREESTONE. For prices see bottom of page.
