melting, highly colored, yellow-fleshed peach ripening
about 15 days before Elberta. Usually a freestone. Does

right, spreading and vigorous. Medium in hardiness.

peach of firm texture and good flavor. Tree is very vig-
orous. The fruit is oval in shape, flesh fine grained. An
excellent shipper; hangs well to the tree and can be

peach. Champion fills a definite need in this particular
season. Its large, quite regular and beautiful, freestone
fruits ripen between Cumberland and Belle of Georgia.
The tree is very hardy and productive. Champion is the
/best variety to fill this part of the white peach season.
"^ SUNCREST (10) A new, large, round, yellow freestone
that ripens about 10 days earlier than Elberta. Fruits
have Hght pubescence and are two-thirds covered with
a bright red blush over a golden yellow ground color.
The flesh is firm enough for distant shipment and is of
good flavor. Trees are vigorous and productive. Blos-
j soms are large petaled and self-fertile.
J SULLIVAN'S EARLY ELBERTA (lOo) An old favor-
ite that leads the early Elberta season. Sullivan ripens
ahead of the regular Early Elberta and Belle of Georgia.
Fruits average large in size, with extra fine quality and
shipping ability. The tree and fruit characteristics are
identical with Elberta.
POPPY (10b) It ripens 8 days before Elberta. The
fruits are large, shaped like Elberta, seem to size well
with heavy crop. Poppy has attractive red color show-
ing well before peach is ripe. Fruits are firm, yellow
fleshed, freestone, of fine texture and flavor. A good
shipping peach. Its season and general characteristics
are such that it should have a place in most orchards.
REDCREST — N.J. 26 (lOc) A large, attractive
yellow-fleshed freestone ripening about a week before
Elberta. The skin color is a beautiful crimson-red which
resembles Sunhigh. The quahty is supreme, flesh golden
j^ellow, firm and juicy. Tree is productive and a vigor-
us grower. Redcrest is an airfree peach.
/
MADISON (lOd) The newest frost-resistant peach to
come from Virginia. Madison is yellow, freestone, firm,
fine textured, and of good quahty. Fruits are well
colored with bright j'ellow overlaid by a bright red
blush. They are very attractive and sell well. The tree
is of average vigor and produces a heavy crop an-
nually. Plant Washington and Jefferson with Madison
for full-season coverage of frost-tolerant peaches.
Blake (lOe) a widely planted and most satisfactory
peach in nearly all major areas with the exception of
the Deep South. Blake is a highly profitable variety
to precede Elberta. Its freestone fruits are medium to
large and very highly colored, with an attractive red
over a good yellow ground color. Flesh is very firm,
with considerable red extending out around the pit,
and of excellent flavor. Trees are good growers, ranking
with Elberta in hardiness of bud and tree, and are very
productive. Size, good color and time of ripening make
lake the Peach to precede Elberta.
EARLY ELBERTA— Gleason Strain (ii) A fine
commercial peach in areas where markets are not too
distant and quahty is important. Large, attractively
colored, j'ellow-fleshed, freestone fruits make it one of
the most beautiful Elberta type peaches. It has excel-
lent quality and ripens with Belle of Georgia. Trees are
hardy, thrifty, and bear consistently. Do not confuse
other strains of Early Elberta with this, the original
Gleason Strain Early Elberta.
