Friday Seedling.5.Ia. Hort. Soc. Rpt.373, 377. 1896.

Cedar County Hardy.6.Ibid.373. 1896.

Bailey is a very hardy peach grown in southeastern Iowa. It was named after Dr. Bailey, West Branch, Iowa, who grew the variety most extensively. In Scott County, it is known as Friday seedling, after its originator, Jacob Friday. The variety was listed by the American Pomological Society in 1909. Bailey reproduces itself from seed and has been distributed throughout Iowa by this means, which accounts for the differences that appear in different localities. The variety as it grows on the Station grounds is very susceptible to mildew; leaves deeply serrated, glandless; fruit small, white; freestone; worthless for New York.
