South Haven — worthy new early variety. Sells for good prices 



MAMIE ROSS. White, freestone, large, covered 

 with a beautiful delicate carmine-red blush; 

 firm, juicy, good quality, excellent shipper, 

 being the largest size early peach, ranging 

 about a third larger in size than Carman. 

 Popular on the markets where known, 

 especially New York City, sells at a premi- 

 um over any other variety ripening at the 

 same time, generally at very satisfactory 

 prices. Mamie Ross is being planted in 

 preference to Carman, ripens two or three 



- days later than Carman, but is far superior. 



SOUTH HAVEN. Yellow, freestone, large, 

 roundish, uniform size, deep yellow with 

 a red cheek, delicious flavor. Ripens about 

 fifteen to eighteen days ahead of Elberta. 

 Tree very hardy, good grower and a con- 

 sistent, heavy bearer. A most promising 

 early yellow, freestone peach for the com- 

 mercial orchards. 



Yellow St. John. Yellow, freestone, medium 

 size, one of the earliest of the Crawford 

 types. Handsome and delicious fiavor. 

 Tree is hardy, vigorous, heavy bearer. 



EARLY MIDSEASON VARIETIES 



Champion. White, freestone, very large, creamy 

 white with red cheek, sweet, juicy; very high 

 flavor. Champion has lost its past commercial 

 importance because it will not carry satisfactorily 

 under refrigeration, but as a home garden or a 

 roadside peach, it is one of the best. Tree is 

 hardy, large grower and productive. 



Crawford's Early. Yellow, freestone, large size, 

 juicy, sweet flavored, highly prized for can- 

 ning. Tree strong grower and prolific bearer. 

 One of the old-time commercial varieties, which 

 has been extensively planted in years past, but 

 now mainly a home market fruit. 



Early Elberta. Ripens about a week to ten days 

 earlier than Elberta; yellow, freestone, large, 

 somewhat similar to Elberta, but a trifle better 

 flavor. Its earliness is its most attractive feature 

 and is being planted more or less in commercial 

 orchards. Excellent home orchard peach. 



Fitzgerald. Yellow, freestone, large, good. 



Mountain Rose. White, freestone, large, round, 

 white with much red in several shades, juicy, 

 rich, tender, sweet. Old-time favorite. 



ROCHESTER. Yellow, freestone, large, covered 

 with mottled red blush; fresh yellow stained with 

 red at pit, very good quality, prolific bearer. One 

 of the best early midseason yellow freestone 

 peaches for nearby markets, and highly desirable 

 for canning. Our buds came direct from the 

 original tree from Mr. A. H. Heberle of Rochester, 

 New York, the originator. Popular in Western 

 New York and Michigan. 



SLAPPEY. Yellow, freestone, medium to large 

 size, beautifully red colored, rich, juicy and extra 

 good flavor. Good commercial variety for nearby 

 markets and one of the best early yellow free- 

 stone peaches.
