174 PEACH CULTURE. 



LADY INGOLD. 



SaiJ to be larger and earlier than St. John, but very 

 similar ; of North Carolina origin ; promises well, and 

 should be fully tested. It may turn out to be identica 1 

 with the St. John. It is a yellow peach.

ELBEETA. 



A yellow peach from Georgia, not yet sufficiently 

 tested in our climate to speak of its merits with confi-

A large-sized, white-fleshed freestone ; skin deeply 

 colored with red. Rather a shy bearer. 



HONEY. 



Skin red ; flesh wnite ; freestone. Size small. When 

 fully ripe, delicious. Not likely to be profitable on ac-
