I am going by the peach bible, Peaches of New York, for the origin of Indian Free. Here is what it states: Indian Blood Freestone. 3. Am. Pom. Soc, Cat. 28. 1873. 4. Ga. Hort. Soc. Rpt. 25. 1876. 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 throughout, juicy, coarse, tough and meaty; quality fair; stone free; season very late. This description (besides the fair rating) seems accurate, in particular the "very late". This description is also quoted in the ARS system which likely has the Indian Free that nurseries are propagating today. I looked at that Texas bulletin and it stated mid August which seems too early. So, I think the Indian Free of today is this same peach with reasonably high probability. There were many red-fleshed peaches floating around the US so there always could have been a mix-up somewhere over the years. Scott

If any plant makes seed it is probably viable. If any plant is a hybrid it will probably not come true.

'Brookside' is a hybrid of Geranium pratense and Geranium clarkei ÂKashmir PurpleÂ, but it is not sterile, so the seeds should germinate. There is actually a geranium on the market called 'Orion' that is supposed to be a progeny of 'Brookside'. Try your luck. You may come up with some beautiful plants. Just don't expect them to be identical to 'Brookside'.

I suspect they would be viable but, if an F1 hybrid, not likely to be true to the parent plant. You never know though, it could be prettier. Karen
