PEACH Tree-
WASHINGTON
COLORA (6c) An outstanding, hardy, early, yellow
freestone peach with high color, superb quality, size,
and hardiness. Colora is our own introduction of a
frost-resistant peach. Trees have withstood temperatures
during past winters of about 17 degrees below zero,
when most other varieties were wiped out by these low
temperatures. The peach is an attractive yellow free-
/stone ripening just after Golden Jubilee.
' NEWDAY NJ. 79 (6cJ) A large, oval, yellow-
ileshed peach which ripens a few days after Triogem.
The tree is more vigorous and produces larger fruit
than Triogem. The fruit is showy, firm in texture, and
hangs well to the tree.
■^SUNHIGH N.J. 82 (7) A large, bright red,
smooth peach which colors well before it ripens and
softens slowly, making it a good commercial peach.
Flesh inclines to adhere to the pit when hard ripe,
but is generally freestone. Tree is spreading in growth,
and dormant buds are hardy. Seems to do best in hilly
sections and requires thorough summer spraying.
^ SOUTHLAND (7a) Yellow-fleshed variety ripening in
Sunhigh season. Fruit is a freestone, medium to large
size, round, and has little fuzz. Color is attractive, with
a light red blush covering about half the peach at
shipping stage. Flesh is yellow, firm, slow softening,
medium textured, good flavor. Trees are vigorous and
jp'roductive, blossoms large, self-fertile.
^ SUMMERQUEEN— N.J. 157 (7b) A high quahty
large, attractive, firm, yellow-fleshed peach ripening
about with Sunhigh. Less susceptible to bacterial spot
than Sunhigh. Has large, showy, imperfect blossoms
which need pollination. Sets good crop with proper
cross-pollination and is recommended to replace Sun-
high where bacterial spot is a problem.
SPECIAL NOTE: We want you to plant BOUNTI-
FUL RIDGE trees. Our trees are as good as can be
produced. When you need more than 300 peach trees,
send us your list and we will quote you special prices
consistent with market conditions at that time.
LORING (8) A new yellow freestone with wide adapt-
ability. This promising new peach resembles Jubilee in
color and shape, but is much firmer and does not soften
at the suture or the tip. It has an attractive bright red
and yellow color over a yellow ground color. Loring
ripens about two weeks ahead of Elberta. It has been
found an excellent variety for fresh market and process-
ing use.
JULY ELBERTA — Burnett Elberta (8a) A large,
medium early, freestone peach ripening with Hale
Haven. Golden yellow color overspread with red. It can
be picked for shipping about four days before ripening,
because of its early color. The quality is excellent for
canning and fresh eating. It shows better than average
results when frozen. The variety does well in all peach
sections.
REDGLOBE (Sb) Ripens 15 days before Elberta.
Fruits large, round, with light pubescence. Skin is highly
colored with red over a good yellow ground color. A
freestone. Complete absence of red in the flesh makes
it an outstanding canning peach. Very good quality.
Chilling requirements about same as Elberta. Blossoms
are large and self-fertile.
RICHHAVEN (8c) Fruits are large, uniform in size
and shape. Color a bright red blush with stripes of red
and gold laid over a bright golden ground color. Fuzz
is unnoticeable and an unusually thick, tough skin adds
to its handling and shipping ability. Flesh is a clear
yellow with moderate reddening around the pit. En-
tirely a freestone when ripe. Ripens with Hale Haven,
or 14 days before Elberta.
(8d) Large, oval-shaped fruits are
borne on a strong, thrifty tree that is resistant to most
common peach diseases. The skin is tough, and the flesh
is of such texture that it will not bruise easily. A
beautiful red color and excellent flavor attracts the
most exacting buyer. Hale Haven is probably our best
peach for quick freezing.
