iardy of tree and buds — those sorts that we have known under similar 

 ■conditions to come through an unfaTOrable Winter wholly or partially 

 unharmed when the fruiting buds of tender and more susceptible varie- 

 ties have been Winter killed in whole or in part. 



Elberta. — Large, yellow with red cheek juicy and of high quality, 

 flesh yellow and melting. A very valuable sort. One of the most reliable 

 standard varieties we have; a profitable, magnificent yellow variety; 

 is now being planted heavily by large fruit growers for commercial pur- 

 poses. Should be on every list of Peach trees. Ripens in September; 

 .and is a free stone and hardy of bud; desirable for all purposes. 



Chair's Choice. — A late yellow-fleshed variety; very beautiful and

 another profitable variety, and a good companion for the Elberta; ripens 

 in September; tree stone and buds hardy; valuable for market use.

 hardy of bud, and desirable for all purposes. 



Stephen's Rareripe. — Large, white fruit resembles an enlarged Old 

 Mixon Free, of the highest color, very productive and free from all dis- 

 ease. This is perhaps, all things considered, the best late white Peach 

 we have to-day. A large, beautiful fruit of the best flavor and appear- 

 ance, deserving of all the praise bestowed on it for the last few years 

 and growing in favor each season; ripens middle of September, and is a 

 freestone and hardy of bud; valuable for all purposes.

 Peaches for market purposes, fruit very large, oblong, skin yellow, with

Carman. — Large, resembles Elberta in shape; color creamy white 

 or pale yellow with deep blush; skin very tough, flesh tender, fine fla-
