VARIETIES. " 177 



WALKER'S VARIEGATED FREE. 



A white peach of the very best sort. Large as Craw- 

 ford's Late, and ripens with it at a time when white 

 peaches are scarce. The fruit is beautiful and of excel- 

 lent flavor. A fair bearer. No one should fail to plant it, 



PICQUET'S LATE. 



A fine large yellow freestone peach ; a good bearer, 

 and a good market variety. It ripens a few days before 

 the Smock. 



PULLEN, 



A beautiful yellow peach of the very largest size, and 

 of excellent quality, but a shy bearer. A few trees should 

 be planted to preserve such a fine specimen. . 



CHRISTIAN. 



A large yellow freestone peach, highly prized by some 

 and extensively planted. Kipens just after Crawford's 

 Late. 



BILYEU'S OCTOBER. 



A very late white peach with a pale blush in the sun. 

 In size it is about like the Fox Seedling. The flavor is 

 good when fully ripe. It keeps a long time after being 

 pulled when ripe a full week and even longer. I have 

 gathered peaches of this variety October 14th, and used 

 them daily till the 21st ; and for evaporating I know of 

 none more profitable. I regard it as very valuable. 



YELLOW COBBLER. 



This is a Texas variety, and is said to be even later 

 than the Bilyeu, but I have never fruited or seen it. 



BROWN'S BEST. 



Is supposed to be a seedling of the Moore's Favorite, 

 but its origin is uncertain. Mr. Brown of Kising Sun,
