GENERAL LIST OF PEACHES 



The ripening periods of the difiEerent varieties as here indicated 

 are based on our observations at Berlin, Maryland. 



CHAMPION. Ripens first of Aujiust. Freestone. Fruits creamy 

 white with red cheek. 



Ford Late. White; freestone; ripens September 15. 



FOX. Ripens middle of September. Skin and flesh white. 

 Freestone. The fruit is of unusually large size, high quality, 

 and in some of the well-known fruit sections it is one of the 

 desirable market sorts. 



Francis. Ripens from August 25 to September 1. Skin yellow 

 with white and yellow flesh. A desirable variety to follow 

 Elberta. 



Greensboro. Ripens June 15 to July 10. Skin yellow-white 



with a crimson cheek. Flesh white, of excellent 



quality, ripening perfectly to the pit. Freestone. In our or- 

 chards this has proved to be an exceptionally good variety, and 

 in some of the commercial orchards in our neighborhood is 

 considered an important part of the crop. The fruit is some- 

 what tender, therefore it requires extra care in shipping. 



HALE. Ripens about August 10. Yellow, finely colored ; large, 

 round, and of excellent quality. Freestone.

 skin and flesh. Freestone. This is one of the popular varie- 

 ties in New York, where many peach-growers depend on it for 

 their main crop. The fruit is large and of high quality. An 

 unusually good grower.

laid with crimson blush. Freestone. The fruit is
