Origin: in Weatherford, Texas, by R.B. Alexander. Introd. about 1925. Parentage unknown; discovered in 1921. It appears that Summer Champion was originated in 1921 and Holland in 1939, the latter being the same as or a bud mutation of the former; there is not enough difference between the two to continue listing each name, and thus Holland, because it was named later than Summer Champion, is placed as a synonym of that variety. Tree: bears at an early age; produces heavy crops. Fruit: large; skin bright red; ripens in midsummer.
