Sim's Cling During the season just past Phillips have had the distinction of bringing a higher price for canning purposes than any other peach. Ripens early in September. Rlinyon's Orange Cling This is. ?ne of the Orange cling family and was originated on the Sacramento river by Mr. Sol Runyon. The tree is a strong grower and a heavy producer. The fruit is very large, yellow and with a crimson cheek on the sunny side. The flesh is fine, rich and of high flavor. Aside from being a favorite for canning it is an excellent shipper. To anyone wishing to plant an Orange cling orchard we feel they can make no mistake in planting Runyons Orange. Ripens early in August. Salwav ^e ^ate riPemng °f tms peach makes it a great favorite in Cali- fornia, for dessert purposes, coming in at a time when practically all other freestones are gone. It is also a good variety for drying purposes enjoying the distinction of losing less weight in drying than any other variety. We do not recommend the Salway as a drying peach, on account of its late ripening, the drying process often being hampered on account of early rains. We believe, however, this is one of the best varieties to plant for late ship- ment to eastern markets as well as to those in our own state. We have never known a time when late freestone peaches were not in demand for dessert purposes. The skin is of a yellow color having a brown, or red cheek. The flesh is yellow and inclined to be red at the pit. While it is not very juicy it pos- sesses a very pleasing flavor. Ripens middle of September. Sellers Orange Cling Another of the orange cling variety and which was introduced by James Shinn, but originated on the ranch of S. A. Sellers, Contra Costa county. It is highly favored by many growers in the different cling growing districts of California because of its productiveness. It is also highly valued by canners for its fine color and uni- formity of size and on account of its favorable ripening period. While the Orange Cling of late years has not brought as large prices per ton, as the Tus- can and Phillips, it must be remembered that the tree is a very heavy producer and in many sections makes up for the difference of price in tonnage. The fruit is large, uniform in size and a beautiful golden color. The flesh is a deep golden, very firm and of good flavor. Canners recommend Sellers Orange as one of the best mid-summer varieties. Ripens early in August.
