The four varieties of peaches described below originated at the Horticultural 
Experiment Station, Vineland, Ontario, Canada. 
A Earlyvee—is a very early yellow-fleshed peach from the Vineland Station, 
obtained from a seed of an open-pollinated Golden Jubilee. It ripens about 
a week earlier than Mikado and is a freestone when dead ripe. The quality 
is good for such an early peach. Its main fault is that its skin is very tender 
and requires careful handling. 
“Valiant—is a seedling of Elberta. The fruit is large, roundish oblate, yellow 
blushed with red, with firm juicy flesh of very good quality; a freestone. The 
trees are productive. It is in season by the first of September or about two 
weeks ahead of Elberta. Noteworthy because of earliness and rich delectable 
flavor. 
\ Vedette—one of the first Canadian varieties introduced, ripens a few days 
before Valiant. Like Valiant it was obtained from an Elberta seed. The 
tree is productive and the fruit is large, roundish oval, yellow fleshed, and 
a freestone. It ripens 3 weeks before Elberta and is superior to its parent 
not only in quality but in color as well. 
\ Veteran—originated in 1919 as a cross between Vaughan and Early Elberta. 
The fruit is large, round, yellow fleshed, usually a freestone, and far supe- 
rior to Elberta in quality. Since it ripens a few days later than Valiant, it 
makes a desirable sort to follow that variety. Hardy in bud. 
APRICOTS 
It is recommended that at least two varieties be planted closely in order 
to induce better fruitfulness.
