Narrative
Type = Peach. Per Hedrick (see citation): "Late mid-season (fruit matures January- Februrary, nine days before to ten days after Elberta), yellow fleshed, freestone peach used for canning and drying (useless as an export peach). Fruit is two and three-fourths inches long, two and three eighths inches wide, roundish-cordate or oval, slightly angular, compressed, with unequal halves; apex pointed, with a large, recurved, mamelon tip; ground color greenish or lemon-yellow, with little if any blush; flesh dry, coarse, tender, sweet, mild; stone one and seven sixteenths inches long, fifteen sixteenths inches wide. The trees are vigorous, productive and little subject to leaf curl but the fruits in New York are often marred by peach-scab; chilling requirement is 850-950. Leaves fall early in the season; petiole seven-sixteenths inch long, with one to five large, reniform glands variable in position. Flower-buds small, short, obtuse, very plump, heavily pubescent, appressed; blossoms open late; flowers seven-eighths inches across; pale pink, darker about the edges, usually singly. Muir is very similiar to Wager." See Also 'Fruit Growing in South Africa', pg. 208.
