 dark green with a red cast from early spring to frost. The

 into winter. The tree grows rapidly and reaches a perfectly 

 proportioned 15 ft. at maturity. 



LONA BALDWIN PEACH 



(4101) 



Lona Baldwin is the finest upright flowering peach we 

 have ever been privileged to see. The deep rose-pink blos- 

 soms are so abundant that one can hardly see the stems. 

 Flowers last a long time, too — from mid-April to mid-May 

 in Virginia where the original tree was found. The tree is so 

 distinctly upright in habit that it may be used as a very 

 colorful hedge if desired. Dr. J. T. Baldwin, Jr., discoverer of 

 Lona Baldwin, advises that the fruit, though small, is very 

 decorative and edible.
