| 0 | PI 673518 | 'Muir Peach' | Prunus persica (L.) Batsch | California, United States | DAV |  | | 1987 | COLLECTED | | | | | | Cultivar | 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. | 1011941 | PI 673518 |
| 1 | PI 673519 | 'Salway' | Prunus persica (L.) Batsch | England, United Kingdom | DAV |  | | 1987 | DEVELOPED | 1844 | | | | | Cultivar | Type = Peach. Per Hedrick (see citation): "Yellow fleshed, freestone peach used for canning, preserving, and evaporating (not usually exported). Trees are vigorous, hard, healthy and very productive; early freezes often destroy the fruit and cold, wet weather usually hinders maturity, however (tree chilling requirement 750h); uncommon adaptability to diverse soils and climates makes valuable in peach-breeding. Leaves seven inches long, one and three fourths inches wide, folded upward and recurled, oval to ovate-lanceolate, leathery; petiole three eighths inch long, glandless or with one to six small, globose and reniform glands variable in color and position (some dispute over prescence of globulose). Flower buds hardy, conical or pointed, pubescent, appressed or partially free; blossoms appear in mid-season; flowers seven-eighths inch across, white at the center of the petals becoming pink near the margins. Fruit matures very late (40 days after Elberta); two and nine-sixteenths inches long, two and one-half inches wide, round-cordate; flesh golden-yellow, faintly tinged with red near the pit, juicy, stringy, tender, becomes dry with age, sweet, pleasantly flavored, aromatic; good to very good in quality; stone one and one-half inches long, one and one-sixteenth inches wide. Moderately resistant to bacti leaf spot." See also: 'Fruit Growing in South Africa', pg. 209, and Thomas' 'The American Fruit Culturist', pg. 486. | 1011957 | PI 673519 |

Per Whealy (see citation): "Large, freestone peach with firm, red flesh; tart until fully ripe, then rich, sweet, distinctive flavor; excellent fresh or for canning; resistant to peach leaf curl but susceptible to brown rot, oriental fruit moth, and peach twig borer; needs cross pollination; ripens late season; requires 700-800 hours of chilling; tree vigorous, hardy." Per Hedrick (see citation): "Blood Free was probably raised by John M. Ives, Salem, Massachusetts, and is distinct from Blood Cling in having its stone free. The American Pomological Society placed the variety in its list of fruits in 1873 as Indian Blood Freestone but in 1897 shortened the name to Blood Free. Tree vigorous, hardy; fruit of medium size, compressed; apex roundish; skin greenish-white overspread with splashes and stripes of dark red; flesh blood-red thorughout, juicy, coarse, tough and meaty; quality fair; stone free; season very late." | 1011990 | PI 673522 |

Often seed propagated so characters may vary. Often grown locally in the South of U.S. for pickling. Apparently widely planted by native Americans long ago."

St. John resembles Early Crawford in size and shape but is a little more rotund, runs somewhat smaller, is not quite as high in quality and ripens several days earlier... It is more than half a century old, came from the South,... The variety reproduces itself from seed and this fact has led to its being distributed under a number of different names as is shown by the synonyms listed in the references... [leaves] globose glands... blossoms appear in mid-season; flowers seven-eighths inch across, white toward the base of the petals, becoming dark pink near the edges;...[fruit] two and one-half inches long, two and three-fourths inches wide, round-oval,...suture deep near the tip;...color deep yellow,...flesh light yellow, tinged with red near the pit, juicy, tender, pleasantly sprightly, highly flavored; very good in quality."

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."

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." | 1010244 | PI 673514 |
