Walkbb's Vabiegaxed Fbbb. 



A wbite peach of the very best sort. Large as Craw- 

 ford's Late, and ripens with it — at a time when white 

 peaches are scarce. The fruit is beautiful and of excel- 

 lent flavor. A fair bearer. No one should fail to plant it 



Picquet's Late. 

 A fine large yellow freestone peach; a good bearer, 

 and a good market variety. It ripens a few days before 

 the Smoclc 



PuiiLEN. 

 A beautiful yellow peach of the very largest size, and 

 of excellent quality, but a shy bearer. A few trees should 

 be planted to preserve such a fine specimen. 



Chbistian-. 



A large yellow freestone peach, highly prized by some 

 and extensively planted. Eipens Just after Crawford's 

 Late. 



BiLTBu's October. 



A very late white peach with a pale blush in the sun. 

 In size it is about like the Fox Seedling. The flavor is 

 good when fully ripe. It keeps a long time after being 

 pulled when ripe — a full week and even longer. I have 

 gathered peaches of this variety October 14th, and used 

 them daily till the 21st ; and for evaporating I know of 

 none more profitable. I regard it as very valuable. 



Yellow Cobbler. 

 This is a Texas variety, and is said to be even later 

 than the Bilyeu, but I have never fruited or seen it. 



Brown's Best. 

 Is supposed to be a seedling of the Moore's Favorite, 

 but its origin is uncertain. Mr. Brown of Eising Sun,
