PEACH TREES 
Plant Cumberland Valley Dependable Trees 
Quality Peach trees is not a mere matter of the size of the trees at the time of purchase. 
It includes the horticultural skill, knowledge, care and personal integrity actually em- 
ployed from the securing of the Peach seed to the delivery of the stock. 
Peaches are one of America’s best-paying crops. While the trees prefer a well-drained, 
sandy loam, they will adapt themselves to almost any well-drained location if given 
proper care. Varieties are listed in about the order in which they ripen. See schedule 
for ripening schedule, freezing hours, and other data. 
\! Mayflower. The earliest Peach, but blooms late and is seldom damaged by frost. Size 
medium, round; bright red all over; ripens well to the seed. Tender, juicy, excellent 
flavor. Tree very prolific. Clingstone. 
“Hiland. A highly colored yellow-clingstone peach, being a cross between Southland and 
Hiley-Halehaven. Ripens just before Cardinal, or about five days before Dixired. 
Scardinall Fruit well covered with attractive red blush over good yellow ground color. 
Flesh is yellow, firm, medium textured and good flavor. About size of Dixired, with 
similar appearance and firmness, and ripens about four days ahead of same. 
~Maygold. Ripens about three days before Dixired. Fruit is clingstone, of medium size, 
and attractively colored with red blush over yellow ground color. Flesh is yellow, firm 
but melting, medium-textured, and of good flavor. The outstanding characteristic of 
Maygold is the relatively short chilling requirement to break the rest period of its 
buds. Highly recommended for southern planting. 
\Dixired. Clingstone. Superior new variety of medium size, round with attractive blush. 
Yellow flesh, of medium texture and good flavor. Fruit acquires color long before 
ready to pick.

peach very much. A clingstone, medium size, round. Flesh is yellow, firm, but melting; 
medium textured and good flavor. 
“Coronet. A highly colored yellow peach, with good yellow ground color. Flesh yellow, 
firm but melting, smooth-textured; good mild flavor and a freestone when ripe. Trees 
are vigorous and productive.

with fine texture and excellent flavor. Almost freestone when fully ripe, and is usually

tree and is an excellent shipper. Tree is hardy, sets fruit buds freely and comes into 
bearing early.

ful yellow. Skin is smooth, almost fuzzless. Flesh is very firm. Tree vigorous with heavy 
bud set and bears young. 
“i Keystone. The outstanding, wonderful New Peach just released at Fort Valley Experiment 
station this season. This seems to be the peach we have all been waiting for, as it 
appears to have all desired features. It is a yellow-fleshed freestone, ripening three 
weeks earlier than Elberta. It is large, has good quality, and appears to be firm enough 
for shipping. The peach is the result of a cross between Newday and Southland. It
