SPECIAL VARIETIES OF PEACH 



The Brackett— One of the largest and finest 

 commercial varieties .of Yellow Peaches, ripen- 

 ing about four days after the Elberta, almost 

 double its size with the most wonderful carrying 

 qualities of any peach now grown this most 

 excellent market peach can become ripe on the 

 tree and left there three to four days after it 

 is ripe and still be found in perfect condition 

 for picking and placing on the market, the 

 writer of this description personally saw the 

 returns for a number of car loads of, Brackett 

 shipped last year that more than doubled the 

 returns on other sorts, it is a free stone and 

 should be planted with the Elberta, it is beyond 

 question one of the best market peaches in cul- 

 tivation today. 



J. H. Hale — A description will hardly do justice 

 to this fine variety. In size it is one-third to one- 

 half larger than the Elberta and is more highly 

 colored. The skin is deep crimson smooth, tight, 

 and without fuzz. Flesh is golden yellow, firm 

 and has a most delicious flavor. The pit sep- 

 arates easily from the flesh. It is exceptionally 

 valuable as a commercial Peach owing to its 

 unusual keeping and shipping qualities. Will 

 ship nearly as well as an apple. Fruit ripens 

 about five days before the Elberta, but -it will 

 hang on the tree longer. Your collection is in- 

 complete without this variety. 



Early Elberta — Freestone, mid-season, of the 



Elberta type. Large golden-yellow flesh, far 

 better in quality than the Elberta, sweeter and 

 finer grained. Tree strong grower, has ten- 

 dency to thin itself like Elberta, carrying mod- 

 erate loads of fruit. A splendid canning variety., 

 remaining solid and good color. It passes on 

 the market as the Elberta but the customer gets 

 a better peach, and the grower repeat orders.. 

 Ripens about ten days before Elberta, along 

 with Early Crawford.

SPECIAL VARIETIES OF APPLE 



Crimson Beauty — One of the Earliest apples 

 known or now in cultivation, and secures its 

 name from its beautiful crimson red color, large 

 size smooth skinned of a flatish round form : 

 this variety is a new candidate of excellent 

 market value and ripens about one week before 

 the Yellow Transparent, its flavor is subacid 

 and not of the best but its early ripening with 

 its beautiful color makes it a valuable sort for 

 early market that brings the highest prices. 



Williams Early Red— Among the earliest to 

 ripen and one of the largest of all the early 

 varieties, of apple,, flesh is white juicy and 

 slightly tart, tender and crisp. This is- ore of 

 the very be t of the early varieties and cannot 

 be recommended too highly, comes into bearing 

 very early and will prove a money maker for 

 the orchard-is t. K 



West Virginia Pound Royal— A new candidate 

 for public favor, this apple, originated in West 



Virginia and by tome called the Green Delicious, 

 being shaped identical like the Red Delicious, 

 green in color, shading off to a light yellow on 

 the sunny side, a great bearer of the most per- 

 fect shaped apples it is possible to find, season 

 late fall and early winter, should be in every 

 collection, flavor subacid, very good.
