Abstract
In recent years, the commercial shipping market has come to demand larger, more highly blushed peaches than many of the varieties traditionally grown in the southeastern United States. The peach breeding program of the Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture (ARS-USDA, Byron, GA) is one of the few programs left actively developing new cultivars for this region. The survival of the southeastern industry requires cultivars that are competitive in the market as well as reliable producers in the highly variable southeastern climate. 'Scarletprince' is an attractive, very firm peach ripening in 'Redglobe' season. 'Julyprince' is an attractive, large, very firm peach ripening slightly after 'Redglobe'. These yellow-fleshed, normal-acidity cultivars provide alternatives to southeastern growers for the 'Redglobe'—'Majestic' ripening season. Both have performed well in South Carolina and Georgia and are suggested for trial wherever 'Redglobe' is grown.
