CAUTION: As can be seen, the import- 
ant factor is to be sure NOT to choose a 
variety whose chilling requirement is so 
high that it is sure to fail most of the time. 
There are other factors, such as winter 
hardiness, susceptibility to bacterial spot, 
etc., that must be taken into consideration, 
even if the chilling requirements are met.

How to Select Peach 
Varieties 
Scientific workers have found that peach 
trees must “sleep” for at least so many 
hours during the winter at temperatures 
of 45 Deg. F., or below, or they will not 
blossom or foliate normally. 
This number of hours for each variety 
is designated as its “chilling requirement.” 
For example, the Elberta peach, in order 
to blossom normally requires a rest period 
during the preceding winter, prior to Feb. 
15, of 850 hours of 45 Deg. F., or lower. 
These chilling requirements are indicated 
as: Elberta (850). 
For example, the map indicates that in 
the Waco area (W or 2 on the map), only 
four out of five years (80%), would have 
sufficient winter cold for 800-hour varieties 
to fruit. Therefore, varieties like Redcap 
(750), Redskin (750), Highland (750), Cor- 
onet (800), and Burbank July Elberta (750), 
would give more crops than Elberta (850), 
Dixired (950), Ranger (900), etc. 
For Area “I'’ W. Cross Timbers, you 
may select varieties with chilling require- 
ments up to Dixired (950),. Others such as 
Cardinal (900), Coronet (800), Ranger 
(900), Halehaven (850), and even some of 
the 750-hr. varieties are good. 
For Area “3” (N.E. Texas), most varieties 
with 750-hr. to 900-hr. chilling requirements 
seem to be doing fine. It is interesting to 
note that Fair Beauty (1050), has not been 
very successful in this area, but is a lead- 
‘ing commercial variety farther north in 
Arkansas. 
For Area 4” (N. Central Texas), about 
all 750-900-hr. varieties are used. As we 
approach Red Rvier, Cardinal (900), Dixi- 
red (950), Ranger (900), and Rio Oso Gem 
(950), are excellent.
