PEACH AND THE PEAR. Ill 



Craivford's Early — Globose Glands. — Get the true 

 old-fashioned Crawford's Early, and not the Yellow 

 Melocotoon, which is most often sold for it, and you get 

 a grand, early, yellow peach. 



Wager — Globose Glands. — Good sized, lemon-yellow 

 peach which originated in New York state and is highly 

 spoken of there ; said to reproduce itself from the stone 

 every time ; said to withstand frost well. I have fruited 

 it in my garden. Here, it is a very prolific bearer and a 

 strong rapid-growing tree. The peach is juicy and of 

 a delicious apricotish flavor, flesh straw-color, and skin 

 dotted with reddish-brown spots and often a hand- 

 some red blush. In field-culture, I think, will ripen with 

 us after Early Crawford ; I have budded and planted 

 several hundred in my orchards, and believe it will be a 

 success as a producer of fairly large, and good looking, 

 well flavored fruit, and will be a regular bearer. 



Reeves Favorite — Globose Glands. — Yellow, and one 

 of the grandest of peaches, but, like all extra large ones, 

 a shy bearer ancf producer. It does better in some places 

 than in others, and is a far better producer than Susque- 

 hanna or Pullen. I dont want too many of them for 

 profit. 



Old Mixon — Globose Glands. — White, elegant to 

 ship, with beautiful blush, and altogether desirable for 

 profit. In flavor it is facile princeps among peaches.
