PLANT IMPROVED VARIETIES FOR GREATER PRODUCTION AND PROFIT 
~ REDHAVEN 
Now A Tried and Proven Winner of Its Season. 
Growers should make plantings as a commercial 
peach to precede the Golden Jubilee and Halehaven. 
Among the best for its season. Beautiful color, 
firmness, high quality, good consumer demand add 
popularity for this peach. 
REDHAVEN is a cross between Halehaven and Kalhaven. 
We first observed this variety in 1939 and had our first fruits 
here in our test orchards in 1941. It colors a brilliant red 
and beautiful yellow. Skin is smooth, almost _fuzzless, re- 
sembling J. H. Hale in color, skin and flesh. Flesh is very 
firm. Tree is vigorous with heavy bud set and bears young. 
Fruits medium sized and well filled when ready to pick, su- 
ture being rather prominent until peach approaches picking 
period. Growers may be inclined to pick too early because of 
good color and should watch this and when trees set too 
heavy, thinning should be practiced to increase size of the 
fruits. Trees are proving satisfactory in test plantings over 
a wide area. 
It seems to be a few days later than Fisher; the flesh how- 
ever is more firm and gives indication of being a good com- 
mercial peach to ripen before Golden Jubilee. We recom- 
mend applying fertilizer in early November or very _ early 
Spring on these early ripening types to help the early de- 
velopment of the fruits, also thinning should be practiced 
on Redhaven and Fisher when a heavy crop is set. 
~DIXIGEM 
A Worthy Companion of the Redhaven. Step-up Your 
Peach Season with this Fine Early Freestone Variety 
The DIXIGHEM ripens several days ahead of the Golden 
Jubilee or about with Fisher and Redhaven. The fruit is 
medium size, ovate with light pubescence and a bright, at- 
tractive 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 al- 
most a freestone when fully ripe and is usually semi free at 
shipping stage. 
The trees of Dixigem have been vigorous and productive, 
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 character- 
istics of early ripening season, good size, near freestone, 
high quality, attractive appearance and good tree growth, 
recommend it for trial as an early yellow shipping variety 
for all peach growing sections.

THE FISHER peacuH 
U. S. Plant Pat. No. 233 
The FISHHR peach was discovered as a bud sport of the 
VALIANT in August, 1934, near Queenstown, Ontario, Can- 
ada. Mr. Fisher found these large, well formed peaches 
growing on a single limb of a Valiant tree in his orchard, 
being attracted to the peach from the fact it was ripening 
two weeks before the Valiant peaches on the rest of the tree. 
Quality above average, however the skin and flesh texture 
of the Fisher peach are such that we don’t believe it should 
be planted heavily for shipment to markets 800 or more 
miles distant. Again we recommend a well balanced fer- 
tilization program on this variety. It is inclined to stick to 
the pit under certain growing conditions and again our re- 
commendation is that it be planted at 60 ft. or more eleva- 
tion and in light gravel or shade soils for best success. 
Its beautiful color, large size and the clear yellow flesh 
and superb quality will establish the Fisher as one of the 
most satisfactory varieties to precede the Golden Jubilee 
peach.

Dear Sirs: 
Will write you about some peach trees I have. They 
have their first crop this year and my Mayflowers and 
Erly-Red-Fre 1 have finished picking and they averaged me 
a bushel and a bushel and one-half per tree. I have ordered 
trees from other nurseries but I think more of your trees 
coming true-to-name than any other trees that I have set 
out. I have some trees that are 4 years old that I order 
from another nursery, some of them are seedlings. LEvery- 
one on the market that saw my peaches said I had the best 
size and color of any Red-Fre that they had ever seen.

A NEW EARLY VARIETY TO PRECEDE 
GOLDEN JUBILEE 
Introduced by the N. J. Peach Council as an early, large 
firm, attractive yellow-fleshed freestone, ripening a few days 
before Golden Jubilee. It hangs well to the tree and is an 
excellent shipped. Tree is hardy, sets fruit buds freely and 
comes into bearing early. Recommended for trial in sections 
where early peaches are profitable. 
THIS VARIETY HAS BEEN MARKETED AND IS CALL- 
ED BEAUTY GEM BY MANY GROWERS IN THE SOUTH- 
ERN REGIONS.

CARDINAL 
Introduced and released by U.S.D.A. during summer 1951 
Cardinal is a seedling of Hale Haven selfed and formerly 
tested as FV-101. Ripens four days ahead of Dixired, more 
than two weeks before Jubilee. Fruits are eclingstone, med- 
ium sized, round, light pubescence. Well covered with at- 
tractive red blush over good yellow ground color. Flesh is 
yellow, firm, medium textured and good flavor. About size 
of Dixired, also in color, appearance and firmness. Blossoms 
medium sized, self fertile and open about with Elberta. 
Chilling requirements about 900 hours. Should succeed any- 
where Dixired can be grown and has advantage of being 
earlier. We recommend this peach from what we have seen 
of it in past several years and where low chilling require- 
ments are not a great factor as its quality and appearance 
will make it popular in many sections. Can supply both 
yearling and June budded trees this year.
