Description of Peaches, 



Given from our own knowledge, and the 

 best authority of the new ones by the 

 originators. 



VICTOR— The originator describes it 

 as the earliest peach known, ripening ten 

 days earlier than the Sneed. The tree is 

 a very vigorous, compact grower, a regu- 

 lar and immense bearer. The fruit is of a 

 very pleasant sub acid flavor, equals trre 

 Aelxander in size, ripens thoroughly and 

 is a semi-cling. A seedling of the Chinese 

 Cling crossed with Spanish blood, tor 

 dering on the Indian tvpe. Ripened its 

 whole crop of fruit in 1897 between 

 May 8th and 16th on the originator's 

 grounds in Smith county, Texas. To con- 

 firm this statement we would say that the 

 Victor is tbe earliest peach we have ever 

 known to be in this sta'e. We received 

 two specimens by mail coming in very 

 good condition after being packed for 

 fifteen days and they reached here on 

 May 30th. The fruit is from medium : to 

 large for such an early psach, somewhat 

 of the type of Chinese Cling, red blush, of 

 exeellent flavor, and for earliness we have 

 not been able to find a peach that will ex- 

 cel this, and those who are looking for 

 the earliest peach grown, by all means 

 should plant Victor. The accompanying 

 cut is from a photograph of the exact size 

 We are offering trees of this variety in 

 June buds only, and will mail them any 

 where in the United States at 50c each, 

 post paid, $5 per dozen, $25 dollars per 

 hundred by express.
