That's a good way to put it, Alan. I wouldn't
want anyone to get the impression from me that it wasn't worth growing if it was
the only peach they could grow. Far from it. What I'm judging
(in my inexperience) is a matter of small degrees. For instance, I could
compare it to tomatoes. Everyone knows home grown tomatoes (whatever
popular variety) are infinitely better than store bought. But home
grown Brandywines are generally recognized to be more tasty than a homegrown
hybrid types like, say, an Early Girl. Well, I would compare Reliance
to an Early Girl, and, say, a Harken peach, to a Brandywine, but both are
certainly good.
