THE PEACH. 105 



Crawford' } s Early. Very large ; oval with 

 a prominent point ; skin yellow, with red cheek ; 

 very juicy, sub-acid, quality excellent, but not 

 best. Early September. Tree vigorous, pro- 

 ductive, and the most popular variety either for 

 the garden or orchard. 



Snow. Medium size ; clear, creamy white 

 skin and flesh; juicy, beautiful, and excellent 

 for preserving. Early September. 



Old Mixon Free. Large ; pale yellowish 

 white, marbled red, with a deep red cheek in 

 the sun ; melting, rich, and excellent ; succeeds 

 in all sections at the North, and disputes the 

 palm with the Early Crawford, as most valu- 

 able. Middle of September. 



Late Crawford. Very large ; yellow with a 

 broad red cheek ; rich, juicy, vinous, and good. 

 Deservedly the most popular late kind. Last of 

 September. 



Foster is a seedling from Early Crawford, 

 which it much resembles, but has been thought 

 to be an improvement. It is worthy of trial. 



Stump the World. Resembles Old Mixon 

 and is a little later in ripening.
