A noted Horticulturist in expressing his opinion of the Fran- 

 ces peach says that the quality is at least as good as Elbeiua and 

 will be a decidedly more valuable peach as it immediately follows 

 Elberta in its season of ripening. 



A noted fruit grower in Shreveport, La., says that the Frances 

 peach is hard to excel in flavor, as well as beauty, and is surely 



ill that is claimed for them 

 cla^s as second to none, 



hence they should stand in their

The Texas Farm and Ranch says: It has not seen anything 

 that is superior to the Frances in its season, being a yellow free- 

 stone, large, delicious and handsome. 



WADDELL — This remarkable new peach belongs to the 

 North China type, which is the most hardy, vigorous and reliable 

 of any class we have. The tree is a heavy stalky grower, with the 

 low, spreading habits so distinctive of its class, and while it is not 

 quite so irregular as Sneed, it is somewhat like it. Its fruit buds 

 and blossoms are among the most hardy, and twice since 1890 it 

 has produced a full crop of fruit when other standard varietie s 

 failed entirely. 



I believe except in very rare instances, it will prove to be a 

 sure annual bearer, which is an exceedingly strong point in its 

 favor. 



Mr. Waddell, the originator, writes me: 'The blossoms were 

 frozen stiff one year and yet it bore a crop of fruit when other va- 

 rieties were all killed. The fruit is of medium to large size, ob- 

 long rich, creamy white, with bright blush on sunny side, often 

 covering two thirds of the peach: skin thick, flesh firm, rich, 

 sweet, and melting when fully ripe; freestone; almost as large 

 and fine in appearance as Belle of Georgia or Oldmixon, but 

 ripens fully a month ahead of those superb varieties or soon after 

 August 1st here in Central Connecticut." 



"A hardy peach of such size and beauty, ripening so early, 

 is bound to be profitable; fruit from 100 Waddell trees in early 

 August is likely to bring more money than the fruit of 500 other 

 trees in September. I am willing to risk my peach reputation on 

 the claim that Waddell is the largest, most beautiful, finest 

 flavored, best shipping and longest keeping peach of its season 

 yet tested.

 value. The originator says it is either a seedling of or a sister to 

 Elberta; tree of same habit of growth, only has larger and darker 

 colored foliage. Tree hardy and productive, and fruit practically
