“ Dixigem—is an introduction of the U.S.D.A. at Fort Valley, Ga., obtained 
from the cross between (Dewey x St. John) and South Haven. It is a 
yellow-fleshed freestone of good quality which ripens about the middle of 
August at Geneva or just ahead of Redhaven. It is less hardy than Red- 
haven. 
‘\ Halehaven—was introduced by Michigan Agriculture Experiment Station in 
1932. Matures about two weeks before Elberta or in Valiant season. It is very 
attractive, large and of good quality. The tree is vigorous, productive and 
hardy. 
“ Mikado—The tree is medium in size and vigor and is productive. The fruit 
ripens the first week of August, is medium in size, round in shape, semi-cling, 
and attractive yellow blushed with red. The quality is good. Mikado is pollen- 
sterile and therefore requires cross-pollination. 
Prairie Dawn—is an Illinois station seedling obtained from Valiant crossed 
with Halehaven. It is an early yellow-fleshed, clingstone of fair quality and 
a rather coarse, soft flesh when dead ripe. It is one of the hardiest yellow- 
fleshed varieties and ripens 10 days before Redhaven. 
~ Redhaven—Was introduced by the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station 
in 1940. It is a highly-colored, yellow-fleshed, freestone peach ripening a few 
days before Golden Jubilee or about with Oriole. It has good fruit quality and 
its flesh is very firm for an early peach. The trees set heavy crops and re- 
quire thorough thinning or undersized fruit may result. 
\. Southland—is a U.S.D.A. introduction from Fort Valley, Ga., derived from 
Halehaven selfed. A yellow, firm-fleshed, freestone peach that ripens with 
Halehaven. Recommended for the South. (Has not fruited at Geneva 
Station.) 
The following varieties are introductions of merit from the New Jersey Ex- 
periment Station:
