176 PEACH CULTURE. 



tween Crawford's Late and Beer's Smock ; and, for that 

 reason, is very desirable as a market variety. 



EXCELSIOR. 



Quality excellent, of bright golden color when fully 

 ripe; size medium to large. A desirable and valuable 

 variety. 



STEADLEY. 



A vigorous tree and good bearer. It is a white fleshed 

 peach, very much like the Stump. Fruit large, round, 

 and of good flavor. October. 



SHIPLEY'S LATE KED. 



A very fine late white peach, of large size and good 

 flavor. Kipens a few day's before Beer's Smock. A 

 good bearer and very desirable. 



WASHINGTON. 



A good sized yellow peach. The blossoms are large, 

 which is a novel characteristic with yellow varieties. It 

 is of excellent quality, but not very prolific. Comes in 

 with the Smock. 



HOLD-ON. 



A fine large yellow peach, ripens with or a little later 

 than the Smock, and is probably a seedling from that 

 variety. 



BONANZA. 



A very large white freestone from Texas. It is very 

 late. The flesh is white, with a red cheek. A very 

 showy peach, and if it does not deteriorate by being 

 transplanted to our soil, it would prove a valuable 

 acquisition. 



HENRIETTA. 



A late yellow cling of large size, fine appearance, and 

 productive. Kipens very late.
