are required properly to break the dormancy of 
the fruit buds. The tree is productive but not so 
vigorous as Dixie Red. 
“\pIXIE GEM .. . Ripens approximately 33 days 
ahead of the Elberta. It is recommended as an 
early shipping variety and also for home use. Ex- 
cellent for home freezing. It does not turn brown 
when frozen like so many of the old varieties did. 
Medium to large, yellow splashed with bright red. 
A very attractive peach and one you can depend 
on. Does good as far south as the Elberta. Sure 
bearer. Would say ripening date last of June and 
first of July. Chilling 850 hours. 
. This is still one of our best 
peaches, both for commercial and home planting. 
Borne the past seven years. Big yellow freestone. 
Extremely good quality, ripens last of June, varies 
with the seasons. This peach I don’t think can 
have enough said about it’s good qualities. Makes 
a good freezing peach, good canner, good to eat 
fresh. Hauls good. It is a cross between the old 
J. H. Hale and the South Haven, giving it an 
ancestry hard to beat. Be sure to include this 
peach in your plantings. North, West, Central, East, 
but not good for coastal planting. 14 days before 
Elberta. 
This is the one peach that sets 
the Standard for all other peaches. The strain 
we have is extremely good; large yellow freestone, 
ripening in or around the middle of July. Good 
all round peach but does not need too much de- 
scriptions as it is known by everyone. Good both 
for commercial and home planting. Recommended 
for West, North, Central Texas, but not too far 
South. 
A sure bearing yellow clingstone 
peach. Has not missed a crop in eight years. 
Ripens the middle of August. The only objection 
you can have to above peach is that it is hurt by 
dry weather. I personally believe that for com- 
mercial planting it is better to have the earlier 
tipening peaches and have your crop gathered be- 
fore the hot, dry summer starts. However, on deep 
sand and in case you could irrigate, would be a 
good one. Has a little wider southern range than 
do any of the others listed. Good for North, West, 
Central and South near to the coastal line. 
INDIAN ... The old fashioned Indian for pickles. 
Known probably by all who have ever lived on a 
farm. We have the large Indian striped. Ripens 
first of August. 
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR COMMERCIAL USE. 
~\EARLY WHEELER ... In some sections this peach 
is planted extensively. Large white clingstone with 
red cheek. Would not suggest planting a number 
of trees unless I knew that my locality was good 
for it. Ripens first of June to middle. Good haul- 
er. Not much for home use. Mainly in the area 
around Snyder and Abilene are these grown to 
perfection. 
STEPHENVILLE, TEXAS 
~. RANGER 
- » » Ripens about with Golden Jubilee, or 
approximately 3 weeks earlier than Elberta. The 
fruit is a freestone, medium to large sized (usuall 
larger than Golden Jubilee), almost round, wit 
light pubescence. At maturity one-half to three- 
fourths of the skin surface is covered with a red 
blush over a yellow ground color. The flesh is 
yellow, medium-firm, medium textured, and of 
good flavor. It has been noted that the fruit is 
round in shape in the more southern peach sec- 
tions, whereas it is sometimes slightly ‘pear- 
shaped” in the more northern peach sections. The 
fruit usually is rated “good” but not “excellent” 
for both freezing and canning purposes. 
“TRIOGEM 
-.. A good highly colored yellow freestone peach, 
ripening a few days betore Hale Haven, the middle 
of June. Good for both market and home use. 
The fruit ripens slowly and will hang on the trees 
several days giving you a longer period of time for 
gathering. Trees should be put on good soil for 
best results. 
SPECIAL OFFER 
We are offering two yellow fleshed peach- 
es for our Southern friends to try. They are 
recommended for areas that have little cold 
weather and more coastal sections. 
“THE HILAND 
. . . Ripens a day earlier than Cardinal, or 
5 days earlier than Dixie Red. The fruit is 
clingstone, medium-sized, ovate, with very 
light pubescence. It is attractively colored, 
with a light-red blush covering about one- 
half the surface at the shipping-ripe stage. 
The flesh is yellow, fairly firm, medium- 
textured, and of good flavor. 
Trees of HILAND are vigorous and pro- 
ductive. Susceptibility to bacterial spot 
disease is evidently about same as Elberta. 
Blossoms are large-petaled and self-fertile. 
They usually open shortly after Hiley blos- 
soms open. The chilling requirement to 
break the rest period of its buds is 750 
hours, the same as Hiley in contrast to 900 
hours for Cardinal. 
THE REDCAP 
. . . Ripens a day or two earlier than Dixie 
Red and resembles Dixie Red very closely. 
The fruit is clingstone, medium-sized (simi- 
lar to Dixie Red), round, with light pub- 
escence. About three-fourths of the surface 
is covered with a bricht, attractive red 
blush. The flesh is yellow, firm but melt- 
ing, medium-textured, and of good flavor. 
The trees of REDCAP are moderately vig- 
orous and productive. Susceptibility to bac- 
terial spot disease is evidently about same 
as Elberta. The blossoms are small-petaled 
and self-fertile. They open the same time 
as Southland. The chilling requirement to 
break the rest period of its buds is 750 hours. 
‘“CORONET . .. Special Offering 
One of the later varieties of peaches that is prov- 
ing to be very good. A good big yellow peach with 
a bright red blush. The yellow flesh_is smooth 
textured and of extremely good flavor. When fully 
ripe can be classed as a freestone. Trees vigorous 
and have a very heavy bud set. It is highly rec- 
ommended for trial plantings. Ripens about five 
weeks before Elberta.
