white with red cheek; freestone and a good shipper. Ripening 

 about the 1 0th of August. The peculiarity of this great acquisi- 

 tion is its hardiness, and the crowning events in its history are its 

 having stood a temperature of 18 degrees below zero in the winter 

 of 1887 8 and produced an abundant crop the following season 

 and again in 1^90 produced a full crop when the peach crop was a 

 universal failure.

 carmine. Oa account of its beautiful color anl fine quality it 

 commands a ready sale in competition with best standard market 

 sorts. Claimed to be the hardiest of all p3aches. Good for both 

 home and market. September. 



CONNECTICUT — A grand New England peach of exceptional 

 hardiness of fruit bud and so valuable otherwise as to place it in 

 the foremost rank of hardy peaches. In northern sections of the 

 country where a very low temperature oft^n follows a few warm 

 days in winter or early spring, it is very desirable to possess a 

 variety of more than usual hardiness for regular early bearing. 

 The original leading standard varieties cannot be depended upon 

 in such sections for regular crops. In the Connecticut we have a 

 tree that is a vigorous grower and a heavy annual bearer, with 

 fruit buds so hardy that it never fails to produce a crop even in 

 New England. The fruit itself is all that cm be desired, large, 

 and handsome golden yellow with red cheek, rich and fine in 

 quality with a superior high flavor, and to all yet more to its great 

 value it ripens early — before Crawford's Early. Hon. J. M. Hub- 

 bard, peach commissioner for State of Connecticut, considers it 

 the finest yellow peach known, especially for the trying winter 

 climate of the North. First class trees 20c each, 81.75 per dozen 

 by express; June buds 10c each, 81 per doz?n by mail post paid. 



CHINESE CLING— Fruit large, roundish, oval; skin trans- 

 parent cr-am color, with marblin? of red next the sun; flesh 

 creamy white, very juicy and melting, with a rich, agreeable 

 flavor. Last of July.
