Peaches. 



CROSBY FROST=PROOF. 



— If you want Peaclies every 

 year, and plenty of tliem, 

 plant tlie Crosby. It fruits in New England every 

 year, never liaving failed in eleven years, even 

 when all others were killed by the winter. It is of 

 larpre size, beautiful orang-e yellow, splashed with 

 oarmine, and of best quality, ripeninfj about mid- 

 season. 30 cents eaoh; $3.00 per dozen, postpaid. 



CHAIR'S CHOICE.— A very large, late, yellow- 

 fieshed variety, verj' handsome; rich, .iuicy, firm; 

 tiesh of excellent quality; freestone, and a superior 

 canninff-peach. 30c each; $3.00 per dozen, postpaid. 



LOVETT'S WHITE.— For a late white Peach, 

 nothing could be more desirable. Large, perfectly 

 white, ifreestone; an annual bearer of rich, luscious, 

 juicv fruit. 30 cts. each; $3.00 per dozen, postpaid. 



MOUNTAIN ROSE.— An old reliable and very val- 

 iiable Peach, ripening' early; larg'esize, skin whitish, 

 and nearly covered with rich, dark red; a valuable 

 family and market sort. 20 cents each; $3.00 per 

 dozen, postpaid. 



Larger trees of above, by express, at same price. 



I can also furnish Crawford's Early, Crawford's 

 Late Elberta. Beer's Smock, Stump, Old Mixon, 

 Wonderful. Ford's Late White Peaches. 30c each; 

 ■6 for $1.00, postpaid ; or larger, by express, at pur- 

 chaser's expense, at same price. 



The above "ad." is copied verbatim from a beau- 

 tifully illustrated catalog for 189.5. These descrip- 

 tions are accurate. The peaches are .just as repre- 

 sented. I would, however, select Ford's Late and 

 the old Smock as worthy of being- emphasized- 

 equal to any peaches ever grown. I have all the 

 ■sorts named above, and more. All are guaranteed 

 true to name. Great pains and care will be taken 

 that every tree that T send you shall grrow. 10 trees, 

 one or several sorts, by mail, 60c: 100 trees, by ex- 

 press or freight, $4.00.
