Hance (Golden).— Trees fairly strong, upright. Fruit medium to large, roundish; 

 cavity broad; suture indistinct, except near the apex, which is a mere point iu 

 the suture; color yellow, with a dark cheek in the sun and with a moderate amount 

 of bloom; flesh juicy, yellow, red at pit, tender, mild, vinous; pit free; quality good; 

 season early September; foliage, crimped; glands globose; flowers small. Thus 

 far only moderately productive. 



Hance Smock.— Trees quite strong, roundish upright. Fruit large, roundish to 

 roundish oval; cavity narrow, deep: suture deep, especially near the apex, two- 

 thirds around; apex slight; color pale yellow, with a marbled red cheek where ex- 

 posed; flesh moderately juicy, yellow, red at pit; tender, mild, vinous, sprightly; pit

 size, oval, compressed at suture; cavity narrow, rather deep; apex distinct but not 

 prominent; suture slight except at apex; color yellow, washed with red; flesh rather 

 dry, yellow, red at pit, quite firm, fine grained, sweet, but not rich; pit free medium 

 size, plump, oval, pointed; quality fair; season middle of September. The trees are 

 too young as yet to judge of their productiveness. 



Husted No, 130. — Trees of this variety are now known as Oceana. Growth quite 

 strong, roundish upright. P'ruit large, roundish, compressed at suture; cavity 

 medium, suture distinct, more than one-half around; apex a mere point; color light,
