456 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [P.D.No.4. 



thinned, oblong, yellow with red cheek, freestone. Quality rather 

 poor. This is one of the most profitable peaches grown, but the quality 

 is not all that can be desired. 



Foster. — Fruit large, deep yellow, sometimes almost red, of high 

 quality. 



Fox. — Tree strong and hardy. Productive. Fruit oval, white 

 with blush, sweet and high flavor. 



Greensboro. — This is a fine white peach with a red cheek, of good 

 size and quality, and the earliest variety of any consequence to ripen 

 here. It has proved very satisfactory and profitable at the Massachu- 

 setts Agricultural College. 



Hiley. — Another excellent white peach of the modern style. Mid- 

 season, or a little ahead of Mountain Rose. 



Mountain Rose. — Strong, upright tree. Fruit white fleshed with 

 rosy cheek. Best quality. Excellent for home use or local market. 



Oldmixon. — This has always been a favorite white peach in New 

 England, but is now largely superseded by Belle of Georgia and other 

 earlier and more reliable white varieties. Tree large, moderately 

 prolific. Fruit white, freestone, tender, rich. Good variety. 



Stump. — An old-fashioned white peach, preferred by some. De- 

 sirable on account of its lateness, coming at the end of the season. 



Triumph. — A very hardy tree, bearing abundantly. Fruit small, 

 yellow, of poor quality. Should not be planted. 



Waddell. — A good white freestone peach, moderately early, medium 

 size, good quality. Fruit buds hardy.
