Mentioned but not described.
Elberta (Hottes). 1. Winfield Nur. Cat. 21 fig. 1912.
This is a supposed strain of Elberta found in an orchard of Elbertas in Grand Valley, Colorado, according to the catalog of the Winfield Nursery Company, Winfield, Kansas. The fruit is said to be larger and better in quality than Elberta but its other characters are similar.
Elberta Cling. 1. Ill. Hort. Soc. Rpt. 223. 1904. 2. Stark Bros. Cat. 42. 1914.
This variety was brought to notice in Louisiana, Missouri, Stark Brothers having selected it from Elberta. Some pomologists rank it as identical with Elberta in growth and appearance except that it is a clingstone. As grown at this Station, however, it does not closely resemble Elberta in shape nor is it equal to that variety in quality. Tree vigorous, upright; glands usually reniform; fruit above medium in size, roundish-oblate, halves unequal, bulged near the apex; suture deepens toward the apex which is roundish; skin rich yellow, with an attractive blush of deep red; flesh yellow, deep red about the stone, juicy, meaty, often having a slight sprightliness, clinging; ripens the second week in September.
