 ject to leaf curl. Ripens a few days earlier than Elberta. 



Ford New. — A large, roundish, handsome yellow peach of good quality ripening the 

 middle of September. Tree is a good grower and heavy bearer. 



Ford I. — A large, white freestone, ripening about with Lewis. A little larger and 

 more attractive than Lewis. Quite free from rot. Tree vigorous and productive.

 climate. 



Ford Red. — Fruit large, oval; color creamy white with blush; texture tender; 

 quality good. Resembles Ford I, but ripens a number of days later. 



Foster. — One of the most attractive yellow peaches grown, but unfortunately it is 

 tender in bud and a shy bearer. Late August and early September.

 October. 



Greensboro. — A new peach from Greensboro, N. C. Fruit, medium in size, oval com- 

 pressed; color white, delicately blushed with light red. Texture tender. Quality quite 

 good. Ripens with Early Rivers and does not appear very promising for the north.

 rather unattractive appearance. Quality very good. A new variety planted in 1895. 

 Has borne two good crops.

 ber. Tree upright, vigorous and usually quite productive.

 ductiveness here.

Sneed. — New variety from Tennessee. Fruit small, roundish oval; color, creamy 

 white with light red cheek; flesh tender, juicy; of fair quality; semi-cling. Ripens a

 tender; quality good. An irregular bearer and otherwise undesirable. Middle of 

 August.

 flesh moderately juicy, of good quality. Tree an early and profuse bearer, but fruit is 

 inclined to be rather small.
