Narrative

type = Peach. Per peach evaluation: "Flower nonshowy, blooms mid-season, medium productivity; tree chilling requirement 750-850 hours; flesh color yellow, red near pit, fruit 2 7/6 by 2 1/2 inches, round cordate, very good eating quality; freestone; ripens slightly before Late Crawford." Per The Peaches of New York (see citation): "Foster is another very good peach of the Crawford type...It is so similar to Late Crawford that even experienced growers can hardly tell them apart...Foster is the larger peach...a little earlier...the trees of Foster, however, are hardly as productive as those of either of the two unproductive Crawfords...[leaves] oval to obovate-lanceolate, intermediate in thickness, leathery...one to four small globose glands...blossoms appear in mid-season. Fruit matures in mid-season; two and seven-sixteenths inches long, more than two and one-half inches wide, round-cordate, often bulged at one side, compressed, with unequal sides...flesh deep yellow, faintly stained with red near the pit." Per Fruit-Growing in South Africa, pg. 206: "A beautiful American Variety. One of the largest of yellow peaches. Shape round, skin; deep yellow with red cheek; flesh yellow with rich Crawford flavour; freestone. Ripens mid-season. One of the very best for canning and drying peaches and excellent for desert. Not wanted for export. Does well on the high veld of the Orange Free State, Natal and the Transvaal, also the Western Province of the Cape."
