The Be3innin3 of a New Era in Peach
and Nectarine Varieties
T1 le old varieties of peaches such as
Greensboro, Carman, Champion, and
Early Crawford no longer meet modern
requirements. The demand today is for
large, red all over, firm, attractive fruits
that are as sleek and trim as a racehorse.
Fruits blanketed to their “chins” in fuzz
or peaches which are hard today and
mush tomorrow are not wanted. The
public wants peaches first of all that look
appetizing and Inscions and then prove
to be as good as they look.
Since 1914, the New Jersey Agricultural
Exi)eriment Station at New Brunswick
has been condneting extensive breeding
work with peaches to obtain varieties
that will meet the modern public demand
and to replace old varieties like Greens¬
boro, Carman, Champion, Slappey, and
the Crawfords which are no longer profit¬
able in New Jersey.
Beginning in 1925, trees of named
varieties from this breeding work were
available for commercial planting.
A recent survey (1938) by the New
Jersey State Department of Agriculture
reveals that in a period of about eleven
years one of the New Jersey Station intro¬
ductions, namely. Golden Jubilee, is now
the third ranking variety in the state in
total number of trees of all ages. It is ex¬
ceeded in number of trees only by Elherta
and J. H. Hale. Goldeneast, another new
introduction, is the fifth leading variety
in the state and two others, namely, Sinn-
niercrest and Eclipse are included in the
first twelve. The latest trends in the popu¬
larity of varieties are, however, indicated
by the number of trees of the different
varieties that have been planted within
the past three years. The recent state
survey shows that seven out of the ten
leading varieties were bred by the New
Jersey Station.
The first varieties bred, named, and
introduced by the Station about 1925,
including Rosebud, Marigold, Sunbeam,
Oriole, Golden Jubilee, Cumberland,
Eclipse, and Amhergem as a group, far
exceeded the old standard varieties which
they replaced. Varieties which are now
being named and introduced during what
may he termed the second decade of
breeding show a marked advance over
the previous introductions. This is espe¬
cially true with regard to fruit size, firm¬
ness of flesh, slow rate of ripening, high
edible quality and reduction in fuzziness.
The new varieties such as Triogem,
Golden Globe and Goldeneast not only
rival the Crawfords in quality as grown
in New Jersey but exceed them in size,
firmness of flesh and all around attrac¬
tiveness for modern markets. It was un¬
believable a few years ago that such high
quality peaches could he developed that
would ripen in New Jersey as early as
August 1st.
The New Jersey Peach Council
The actual breeding of a new variety
of peach is the first step in the improve¬
ment of saleable fruit for the market.
The second step is the propagation and
distribution of the variety true-to-name
to practical growers, and its successful
commercial culture and marketing.
The New Jersey Agricultural Experi¬
ment Station and the New Jersey State
Horticultural Society realized in 1928
that some cooperative organization was
necessary to insure to the peach growers
of the state the practical benefits of the
peach breeding work. An organization of
commercial growers was therefore formed
in 1928 and incorporated under the name
1
THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA IN PEACH AND NECTARINE VARIETIES
of the New Jersey Peach Coimcil. The
two chief ohjectives of this organization
are: 1. To encourage and support the
scientific breeding of better varieties of
peaches at the New Jersey Agricultural
Experiment Station, and 2. To provide a
dependable and satisfactory means of
Trees Now
Following a decade of selection and
commercial testing, the Peach Council
now has available for planting a supply
of trees of seven new peaches and one
new nectarine. Fruits of all of the varie¬
ties have been offered for sale in both
retail and wholesale markets, and they
propagating and distributing trees of
worthy new varieties to growers in order
to insure to them the greatest possible
benefits of the breeding program.
All nursery trees offered to growers

have consistently outsold the fruits of
such old varieties as Carman and Slappey
and even Elberta in many instances. A
new era in high quality edible peaches is
at hand. You cannot be behind the times
in the selection of varieties and expect to
remain in the peach business.
It Will Pay to Buy Good New Varieties
The old quick softening “wastey” varie¬
ties are no longer profitable. A new va¬
riety which has not been commercially
tested for several years in more than one
environment is just a gamble. It costs
too much money to plant and bring an
acre of peach trees to bearing age to have
them prove to be “duds.”
Good Varieties
Large, high-colored, firm, good quality
peaches this year have sold from $0.25 to
more than $1.00 per bushel wholesale
above old varieties such as Carman and
are Worth More
Slappey. Trees of the latter varieties
would be costly as a gift and they will
become more and more difficult to sell
each year.
Well Grown, H ealthy. Vigorous Trees are Worth More
Under modern practices, approximately
one hundred or a few more or less peach
trees are planted to the acre. An addi¬
tional cost of a few cents per tree often
discourages some growers from the pur¬
chase of high class stock. However, if the
difference in price represents a better
source of hud wood, a better and more
uniform source of root stock and better
handling of trees, it is cheap insurance.
When small, weak, root mutilated, or
partly dried out peach trees are pur¬
chased, the loss in dead and weak trees
is sometimes as iiigh as ten per cent. The
grower is not only faced with the trouble
of replanting, hut also with an irregular
2
THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA IN PEACH AND NECTARINE VARIETIES
orchard from the very hegiiiiiiiig. Re¬
plants also increase the danger of obtain¬
ing trees imtrue-to-name.
Even if all the nursery trees planted
actually live hut make a poor growth, the
fact that the trees require an extra sea¬
son or two of growth before attaining
profitable hearing is often very costly.
Modern competition in the peach busi¬
ness has increased the importance to the
grower of obtaining vigorous, healthy,
medium to large, high class trees in order
to insure a uniform and maximum growth
as soon as the trees are planted. One can¬
not afford to lose a year or more of time
in the development of a commercial
peach orchard and besides a vigorous
growth is a more healthy growth.
Brief Accurate Facts About the Varieties
Superlatives and gaudy “circus poster”
pictures are sometimes used in an attempt
to sell fruit trees. This catalog attempts
to describe the new varieties as practical
growers would discuss them when anxious
to learn their true worth.
The parentage of each variety, the
flower type, the set of fruit buds, and the
approximate date of ripening in compari¬
son with Elberta are given in tabular
form at the back for convenience in mak¬
ing comparisons between varieties. The
peach varieties are described in the ap¬
proximate order of ripening.
No claim is made that the new varieties
described in this catalog are any more re¬
sistant to the common peach diseases than
the older commercial varieties such as
Elberta. Such diseases as peach scab and
brown rot attack all varieties to some de¬
gree. One should expect that it will re¬
quire as good cultural skill to grow the
new varieties as it does the old. Give
them good care.
Triogem (N. J. 70)
An early, oval, red all over, firm, yellow
freestone peach, ripening about two days
later than Golden Jubilee or at least 20
to 25 days before Elberta. It colors well
even in the center of the tree while it is
still firm. It ripens slowly and hangs to
the tree even after it becomes firm ripe.
It is a better shipping peach than Golden
Jubilee and it has more red color. The
fruits may be smaller than those of
Jubilee but the cheeks round out well
and the edible quality is high. There is
no complaint by either growers or dealers
about its firmness or appearance. The
pubescence is short and no “defuzzing”
machine is required to make it look at¬
tractive. No commercial variety now of¬
fered at its season compares with it in
“all-around” fruit qualities.
The trees are medium in size and com¬
pactness and succeeded better than some
varieties where a combination of phos¬
phorus, nitrogen and potash deficiency
occurred in one orchard in New Jersey.
The trees, however, require good peach
soil and good culture.
The variety is as hardy or a little
hardier than J. H. Hale in the dormant
state. The opening buds and flowers have
resisted unfavorable weather conditions
very well. If only a small percentage of
the bud set develops into fruits it “makes”
a crop.
In most seasons in New Jersey the trees
will require early and thorough thinning.
A colored cut of the variety is priirted
upon the hack cover.

BRIEF ACCURATE FACTS ABOUT THE VARIETIES
Newday (N. J. 79)
All early commercial yellow peach,
promising for trial in regions similar to
central and southern New Jersey. It is a
somewhat easier peach to grow to a good
market size than Triogeni. For this rea¬
son some growers may prefer it. The
fruit is large, oval, firm, high colored,
yellow-fleshed and of good quality. When
well grown it resemhles somewhat and is
fully equal to Elherta in appearance. It
ripens about a week after Golden Jubilee
or about 20 days before Elherta. It colors
well before it is ready to pick and hangs
to the tree well even after it becomes
ripe. The flesh sometimes adheres some¬
what to the pit, especially when picked
firm to hard or green ripe. Nevertheless,
this has not appeared to decrease the de¬
mand for it from commercial test orchards.
The foliage and tree habit is character¬
istically vigorous and upright spreading.
It is another peach which withstands
handling well and looks well on the mar¬
ket and is superior to Golden Jubilee in
shipping qualities and it has a somewhat
more ‘‘sprightly” flavor.
Golden Globe
Newday
Golden Globe (N. J. 73)
The general market demand is for
peaches of 2^ or 2^ inch minimum diame¬
ter. There is a special or limited demand
for very large specimens. If it is grown
well and thinned. Golden Globe is a peach
that makes a baseball look small.
It is a very large, early yellow peach of
extra good edible quality and usually a
freestone in New Jersey. It ripens a day
or two later than Triogem as a rule or 20
to 25 days before Elherta. The flesh ripens
rather slowly and the fruits hang to the
tree for a long time, making it a favor¬
able one to market both wholesale or
retail.
The tree is vigorous and upright
spreading.
If the dormant fruit buds were a bit

class the standard named varieties of its
season for size, firmness, attractiveness
and edihle quality. The variety should

lar to central and southern New Jersey hy
anyone who desires an early, large, showy,
yellow peach of luscious flavor. For gen¬
eral commercial jiurposes, however. Trio-
gem, Newday or Sunhigh will prohahly
lie more satisfactory as a rule.
Sunhi'sh (N. J. 82)
A red all over, bright, smooth, firm
jieach that appeals to the buyer. It ripens
a few days before Goldeneast and actually
‘■‘sets up” the market for that variety. One
grower states, “It is the peach that really
goes to town with me.” It colors well all
over before it ripens and it softens slowly,
making it an ideal peach to handle com¬
mercially. The flesh is an attractive yel¬
low and it is generally freestone, but
sometimes the flesh adheres slightly, par¬
ticularly when picked “hard ripe,” but
this has not affected the strong demand
for it in the New York and Philadelphia
districts. The tree is a vigorous, spread-
Sunhigh
Goldeneast
ing grower and the dormant fruit l)uds
are somewhat more hardy than Golden¬
east. This is one reason for its popularity
with growers in northern New Jersey. It
topped the market when in season in
New Jersey in 1938.
It is recommended for planting in re¬
gions where climatic conditions are some¬
what similar to northern and central New
Jersey.
Goldeneast (N. J. 87)
A very large, oval, firm, melting, high
colored, yellow fleshed peach ripening at
the same season as Ililey and Eclipse, or
about 14-15 days before Elberta. The
pubescence or fuzz is relatively light like
J. H. Hale. The red coloring of the fruits
begins well in advance of the shipping
stage and softening of the flesh proceeds
slowly before and after it is picked, mak¬
ing it an ideal peach for the wholesale
and retail market. The fruits hang to the
tree well even after they become firm
ripe. This is a distinct advantage to the
grower.

BRIEF ACCURATE FACTS ABOUT THE VARIETIES
Goldeneast
( Continued)
The yellow-orange color of the flesh is
not only exceptionally attractive hnt it
retains this color well, after the peaches
are sliced. It does not turn an nnappetiz-
ins brown as does the flesh of some
varieties.
The tree is upright, spreading and
vigorous and the dormant buds are me¬
dium in hardiness. The variety appears
to be best adapted to regions with a cli¬
mate similar to southern New Jersey.
The edible quality of the fruit is much
superior to Elberta and lacks the bitter¬
ness of that variety.
Goldeneast has received wide commer¬
cial test in New Jersey. It was first sent
to the wholesale market in considerable
quantities in 1936 under the name New
Jersey 87. It “topped” all varieties in price
on the New York and Philadelphia mar¬
kets for several days. It outclasses such
peaches as Slappey and South Haven in
all-around market qualities.
A colored cut appears upon the front
cover page.
Summercrest (N. J. 94)
Early in the summer consumers of
peaches in the East do not, as a rule, ap¬
pear to object if peaches are somewhat
tart, but in late August many persons
seek a peach which is quite sweet and
free from bitterness. Summercrest is a
large oval, yellow freestone, which meets
these requirements as it develops in New
Jersey. It is the one yellow-fleshed peach
that persons who always buy Belle of
Georgia will accept and call for more.
No one wants an Elberta after eating a
ripe Summercrest.
The fruit is not quite as high colored
as Triogem, Sunhigh or Goldeneast, but
colors well if the trees are not too vege¬
tative.
The tree is an exceptionally vigorous
Summercrest
grower in the nursery and in the orchard.
It responds to good culture like any va¬
riety, but it can be made too vegetative
by too rich or moist soil and the fruit
may then lack high red color. In other
words, it may be termed a good peach for
a light soil and one a bit low in nitrogen.
Some commercial growers in New Jersey
have withheld nitrogen entirely since the
trees attained bearing age. It is as hardy
as J. H. Hale and adapted to regions simi¬
lar to central and southern New Jersey.
Orders will be filled according
to the sequence in which they
are received. To obtain the
best selection of varieties and
trees you should place your

Afterglow (N. J. 84)
Ell)erta is still the most exteiisiv('lv
<»:rown commercial peach, hut is i^radiially
losing favor with eastern consumers, par¬
ticularly ill wet seasons ami when grown
ill northern districts. The fruit is too
often rather acid and hitter and lacking
ill peach aroma and flavor. Afterglow as
grown in New Jersey is distinctly less acid
and hitter and of higher peach flavor.
Furthermore, eastern markets are not in¬
frequently well supplied with peaches at
the Elherta season. A peach which ripens
from 3 to 5 days after Elherta, therefore,
often meets a cleared and stronger market.
The fruits are large, round oval in
form and heconie almost comjiletely over¬
spread with red color. The flesh is yel¬
low, stained with red about the pit and
free. The trees of Afterglow are more
vigorous and the fruit buds and trees
have been more winter hardy than J. H.
Hale and Elherta at New Brunswick, N. J.

BRIEF ACCURATE FACTS ABOUT THE VARIETIES
An Outstanding New Nectarine
Garden State
(U. S. Plant Patent 92)
The nectarine is a horticultural varia¬
tion of the peach which is centuries old.
It is not a hybrid between the peach and
the plum as is often erroneously stated.
It is sometimes called a fuzzless peach
because the skin is as free of pubescence
as the plum. The pit or stone resembles
that of a peach. The nectarine has been
comparatively little cultivated because
the fruit of the varieties available is too
small and it has been difficult for growers
to obtain large enough yields of large,
smooth fruit.
The Fruit is Large
The Garden State Nectarine overcomes
these faults to a remarkable degree. In
fact, it is a greater improvement over the
available varieties of nectarines for the
East than the Golden Jubilee peach was
over such peach varieties as Greensboro.
The fruit outclasses in size, color and
quality all other named nectarines on the
New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Sta¬
tion grounds, including Cardinal, Lord
Napier, Surecrop, Goldmine and Hunter.
At New Brunswick, N. J., in 1938, one
tree produced 6.5 sixteen quart baskets
of fruit, or more than three bushels. Well
developed specimens are two inches in
diameter and above.
It Colors Early
The fruit attains an orange-yellow un¬
dercolor, overspread with red, several
days before the fruit is firm ripe, making
it an excellent shipping variety. It is a
fit companion in this respect to such mod¬
ern peaches as Sunhigh and Goldeneast.
It ripens at about the same season as the
Goldeneast and Hiley peaches and hangs
well to the tree.
Garden State Nectarine
The tree is a vigorous grower with dis¬
tinctive leaf characters. It is medium
hardy and apparently adapted to regions
with a climate similar to central and
southern New Jersey.
The Japanese beetle consumed the fruit
of such nectarines as Cardinal, Lord Na¬
pier and Flaming Gold before they even
became ripe enough to pick for market
in 1938 at New Brunswick, in spite of
good spraying. The Garden State, on the
other hand, became firm ripe before the
beetles began to attack them.
Nectarines require the highest
grade of cultural skill .
including the selection of the
orchard site, fertilization,
spraying and thinning of the
fruit.
10
Be Particular About Your Source of Trees
Too often in the past when even a
single new variety of fruit has heen in¬
troduced more than one variety has ac¬
tually heen distributed under the new
name as in the case of tlie Wilma and
Shipper’s Late Red peaches in recent
years.
Where as many as seven new varie¬
ties are introduced the chance for mix¬
tures and suhstitutions is greatly in¬
creased. In fact, it requires an acquaint¬
ance with the tree characters and per¬
sonal integrity on the part of the propa¬
gators if the varieties are to he kept
distinct.
The Source of Bud Wood
Practical experienced fruit growers do
not need to be told how important it is
that nursery stock be propagated with
buds cut from trees true-to-name. Unfor¬
tunately comparatively few persons can
identify even a few varieties of peaches
in the orchard.
A period of not less than four summers
as a rule is necessary to l)ring a commer¬
cial peach orchard into hearing. Four
seasons of tillage, pruning, spraying, con¬
trol of pests and general care. What a
disappointment and loss if the trees at
that time prove to be a lot of misfits or
have some serious weakness or disease!
In these modern times it is important to
know just who really grew the trees and
where they were grown. The particular
grower will not wish to plant trees that
have been “jobbed around.” There is too
much at stake.
is of the Utmost Importance
By cooperation with state service agen¬
cies the New Jersey Peach Council has
devoted special attention to making cer¬
tain that the source of the bud wood of
the new varieties is carefully selected
from true-to-name trees.
Freedom from Virus Disease
Peach yellows was the disease most
dreaded by peach growers for years. Now
the danger is increased by additional
virus diseases including little peach,
phoney peach, red suture and the X dis¬
ease. All can be distributed by budding
Root
From a commercial standpoint, hardy,
productive peach trees mean a hardy,
healthy, vigorous root stock. Seedlings
of some peaches make poor stocks be¬
cause the trees are more susceptible to
collar rot and various root troubles. In
recent years, some of the sources of peach
seed have become more variable in type
and quality and less dependable. Peach
pits are sometimes collected from a great
variety of tree types, including commer¬
cial varieties, which means a great varia-
in the nursery row. The Peach Council
has cooperated with state service agencies
in doing everything possible to insure
that the nursery stock offered for sale
of the new varieties is free from virus
diseases.
Stocks
tion in the vigor and type of trees which
develop in the nursery and in the or¬
chard. The New Jersey Peach Council
has not overlooked this situation. The
peach stock offered for sale in the fall of
1938 and in the spring of 1939 has heen
grown from seed of a single varietal type
secured from a region free from virus dis¬
eases such as yellows, little peach and
the phoney disease. This tends to insure
a healthy uniform type of root system
upon all of the trees.
11
Nursery Trees Should Have Good Reserve
of Plant Food
The New Jersey Peach Council, through
state service contacts, checks as far as is
possible the nutrient condition of the soil
of the land on which the stock of trees is
grown. When peach trees are grown on
land deficient in one or more of the com¬
mon nutrients and are then planted on
land that is also deficient in the same
nutrients the trees are unlikely to grow
well and a percentage may even die the
first summer after planting. It is there¬
fore important for a commercial peach
grower to purchase nursery trees that
have stored up a good supply of all nu¬
trients in their tissues before they are dug
for sale and distribution.
Ca re in Digging and
Even when nursery peach trees have
been propagated upon good root stock
and well grown, their value for planting
can he seriously injured by careless dig¬
ging and handling. Drying out of the
trees either at the time of digging, when
Handl ing of Trees
placed in the storehouse or when in tran¬
sit may when planted cause the trees to
make a poor start and be more susceptible
to injury by peach aphis, dry weather or
a deficiency of one or more elements in
the soil.
