HARRISON'S NURSERIES, BERLIN MD. 



rot proof, as original tree, standing in low, wet ground, has per- 

 fected its fruit two seasons, while other varieties all about have 

 rotted entirely. Carman is described as large, broad oval in form, 

 pointed; skin yellowish white, dotted and flushed red; flesh creamy 

 white, slightly tinged red, of a sprightly vinous flavor. The 

 Rural New Yorker first described it some years ago as an extra 

 large, yellow peach, like Elberta. only five weeks earlier; ii certain- 

 ly is of Elberta type, but it is not strictly a yellow, neither is it 

 white. The Texas Farm and Ranch says: "Carman peach is of 

 large size, oblong, resembling Elberta, and is the best flavored 

 early peach we know; the shin is tough, and it is just the peach to 

 ship a long distance." The above is J. H. Hale's description. 

 Price on one year tree^, 25 cents each; $2 per d.zen; $10 per hun- 

 dred. June Buds at half price. 



HATTHEWS BEAUTY— We received a sample of this fruit 

 last season and to say the least, it was one of the finest peaches of 

 its season we have ever seen grow. It is a cross between Elberta 

 and Smock showing a parentage of both The fruit is of large size 

 above medium; shaped similar to Elberta but a little longer. 



In the section where it was originated, a noted fruit man says 

 it is the most valuable succession to Elberta so far introduced. In 

 comparison it is a size larger and far superior in quality while its 

 bearing and shipping qualities are just as good. Its season of rip- 

 ening is three weeks later than Elberta which still adds to its val- 

 ue. Skin golden yellow, streaked with red; flesh yellow, firm and 

 of excellent flavor. Perfect freestone. The original tree of Math- 

 ews' Beauty has been in bearing for eight years and missed but 

 one crop in that time, keeping up its high standard one year with 

 another. 



G. B. Brackett, Pomologist of the United States Department 

 of Agricultural, in a letter to us dated May 25th, 1899, tpeaks of 

 the Matthews' Beauty as bei«g a large fruit, ob-conic, dimension 

 3 7 16 by 2 J. Cavity regular, large, deep, abrupt. Suture ex- 

 tending from cavity to apex,, shallow except at canity. Apex 

 jointed, color yellow with splashes of red, crimson cheek, flesh 

 yellow, tender, juicy; stone oval, free, medium size; sub acid, 

 pleasant, very good. 



CLIMAX — This is a new variety from Texas, ripening just be- 

 fore the Victor is gone, and having a much better flavor. Will 



aleo hold a very prominent place among the fruit growers when it 

 has become known. The shape of this peach is not fancied by 

 some fruit growers, being that it is very round, although they 

 are being set by the thousands. Owing to its most excellent 

 flavor it is considered by some to be the best and most excellent 

 peach for the amateur grower as the second earliest. We only 

 have them in June buds and will make the price in reach of all 

 being only 25c each by mail post paid to any address in the United 

 States; $2.50 per dozen, $12.50 per hundred. June Buds only.
