Waddell. — A new variety which comes highly recommended. Two year old trees 

 fruited on the Station grounds this season. They have made a heavy stocky growth and 

 presented an attractive appearance when in fruit. Fruit roundish ohlong, creamy white 

 with blush: of very good quality. A trifle tender, yet should ship well with careful 

 handling. Ripened this season with Lewis, August 29. As the trees get older the season 

 of ripening will, no doubt, be a little earlier. Foliage dark green, thrifty, witli 

 reniform glands. 



Wonderful. — Large, roundish, yellow, of good quality. Unproductive. Early October. 



VARIETIES FOR HOME USE AND MARKET. 



Barnard. — Fruit roundish, inclined to be a trifle small: color yellow nearly covered 

 with dark red: flesh rich yellow, moderately juicy of good quality. Excellent for can- 

 ning. Particualry desirable for home use, but frequently grown with profit for market. 



Connett (Southern Early). — A large handsome white peach of the North China Group. 

 One of the best early varieties in the Station collection. Ripens with Lewis, usually 

 larger and more attractive than the latter. Not so hardy as Lewis, but quite free from 

 rot to which Lewis is subject. Tree a good grower and quite productive. 



Elberta. — A profitable market variety ripening about the middle of September. Fruit 

 large, oval, slightly flattened; color yellow, blushed with red: texture, firm: quality, 

 good but not high. Ships well and sells well in market. Should be sprayed to prevent 

 leaf curl, to which the variety is subject. 



Engle Mammoth. — Large, roundish, yellow, of very attractive appearance and fine 

 quality. Very productive and one of the most valuable market varieties grown. Second 

 week in September. 



Gold Drop. — Round, golden yellow, of good quality, hardy and productive to a fault. 

 When severely thinned it is one of the most profitable late market varieties. Late 

 September and early October. 



Kalamazoo. — One of the most profitable market varieties grown in Michigan. Hardy 

 and very productive. Fruit medium to large, yellow, usually with red cheek. Middle 

 of September.
