,24 FRUITS AND VEGETABLES UNDER GLASS 



Milton — A very fine variety for eitiicr piantino; in tiie border or growing 

 in tubs. It is higiily colored and can be recomniended for its handsome appear- 

 ance and rich flavor. 



Newton — Also excellent for our climate and particularly good for growing 

 in tubs. The fruit is large, with white flesh, parting freely from the stone. It 

 has a distinct Stanwick flavor. 



Rivers Orange — A yellow-fleshed sort; not quite as large as some of the 

 others, but the flavor is all that could be desired. It is a bit earlier than its 

 parent, Pitmaston Orange, and a decided improvement on the old standby. 



Albatross — A fine Peach; seedling of Princess of Wales, which has proved 

 one of our very best as a late variety. 



Alexander — A very early and popular American variety, with a brisk, 

 juicy flavor. 



Alexandra Noblesse — Resembles Noblesse very much. \'ields large fruit, 

 pale green in color with a very rich flavor. A strong, robust grower, and heavy 

 crops may be gathered from trees grown in tubs. 



Dagmar — A second early; very downy skin, deep rich color, and handsome. 



Dr. Hogg — Handsome midseason Peach of healthy constitution and ex- 

 cellent for tubs or in the border. 



Foster Peach — American variety. Undoubtedly one of the best yellow- 

 fleshed varieties for growing under glass. The fruit is large, rich in color and 

 highly ornamental for indoor work. 



Gladstone — Valuable as a late Peach. 



Goshawk and Dymond — These two resemble each other and ripen at the 

 same time. Both are strong, robust growers, and are good \arieties for grow- 

 ing in pots or tubs. They are somewhat deficient in color, but the fla\or is 

 all that could be desired. 



Early Grosse Mignonne — A midseason Peach of medium size and excellent 

 quality. 



Merlin— Seedling from Early Grosse Mignonne; larger than its parent 

 and particularly rich in flavor, ripening at about the same time. 



Sea Eagle — A late, very large Peach of good color. 



Nectarine Peach — So named because its skin is smooth, like that of a 

 Nectarine; it can be highly recommended as a late variety. 



Grawford's Late — Highly recommended as a first-class, late Peach; large 

 and handsome. It is one of the standard varieties for outdoor work, but can 

 also be grown under glass. 



.Mountain Rose — Can be relied upon lor growing under glass as a second 

 early Peach. I have produced very fine fruits from this variety both in the 

 early and in the midseason house; it is of good quality and color. 



This list may seem longer than is necessary, but it is very interesting to 

 test difl"erent varieties. Where pot or tub fruits are grown extensively, a com- 

 prehensive list to select from gives opportunity to increase and vary one's col-
