Carman Peach
The Carman is an early, hardy freestone peach introduced in the 1890s and named for E. S. Carman, editor of the Rural New-Yorker. Creamy-white skinned with a red blush and tender flesh, it was prized for ripening ahead of most commercial peaches and was widely planted in the South. Its commercial role is recorded in the USDA peach studies.
