no THE CULTIVATION OF THE 



and desirable to plant, especially on lower part of the 

 peninsula, on light, sandy soil. 



Hales Early. — Has no desirable qualities ; what it 

 had having been supplanted by better varieties. 



Fleitas or Platers or Yellow St. John. — Large, round 

 orange-yellow peach, good color, good flavor, and a 

 peach, as far as I can find out, I am inclined to recom- 

 mend freely. 



Troth's Early Red — Globose Glands. — Regular 

 bearer, but small. First class to evaporate, and I think 

 some should be planted, where we have Evaporators, 

 and especially in lower part of the peninsula. Ships well, 

 and gives beautiful red centres after evaporation. Is a 

 white peach. 



Mountain Rose — White, — and one of the best of its 

 date. Resembles the Early York. 



Large Early York, or Honest John — Glandless, with 

 serrated leaves — White. — A very good peach. This 

 species is larger than the old Early York, but has less of 

 the delicious Early York flavor. 



Foster — Yellow, — and said to be a very fine peach ; 

 is being largely planted, and is highly recommended. 

 Ripens just before Crawford's Early, and said to be a 

 better peach.
