Redhaven 
~**Redskin. Introduced by Maryland University Experiment Station 
as a cross between Hale and Elberta. Red skin. Yellow free- 
stone. Firm flesh, good shipper, excellent quality. We believe 
this new variety worthy of a test in your orchard. Ripens a few 
days ahead of Elberta. 
\ Shipper’s Late Red. Large, round, yellow freestone with attractive 
red coloring. Few days later than Elberta. Better quality, sells 
for as much or more. Ranks as a top commercial Peach; equally 
as popular for the home orchard. Hardy, good growers and pro- 
lific bearers. 
~*Slappey. Sweet, highly flavored yellow freestone. Purely a home 
orchard Peach. Considered the best of all as a canner as it 
retains its sweetness and excellent flavor. Late July. 
**Southland. In response to the demand for a Peach of better freez- 
: ing qualities, the U. S. Department of Agriculture introduced 
Southland, which is less subject to discoloration in freezing, is 
sweet, and has fine flavor. Two weeks earlier than Elberta. 
Large, yellow freestone.
