PEACHES, continued 



BELLE (Belle of Georgia). Ripens early in August. Fruit very large and most 

 attractive in color and shape, with a light red cheek; flesh white, firm and 

 delicious; the quality is fine. The Belle of Georgia has become one of the 

 standard varieties in the big commercial orchards of the United States, as 

 it stands shipping to all markets in such a way that it invariably brings the 

 best prices. In many respects it is equal to Elberta. 



Bilyeu. White. Free. Ripens September 25 to October 15. 



Brackett. Yellow. Free. A valuable peach which ripens a few days later 

 than Elberta. Fine; good cropper and shipper. 



CARMAN. Ripens third week in July. This is a favorite variety with many 

 growers, as it is one of the most profitable in its season of ripening ever intro- 

 duced. The returns from a successful Carman orchard are almost beyond 

 belief, and the fruit stands shipping so well that it always reaches market in 

 prime condition. The fruit is remarkably attractive and luscious; large and 

 broad, oval-shaped, yellowish white, flesh creamy white, red wxth tinge, 

 spicy and good; free. We picked four cars of this variety from lo-year-old 

 trees this season which sold at $2.12^ to $2. 50 per six- gallon carrier. Our 

 three-year trees bore one-half bushel to one bushel per tree. This is a valuable 

 early peach. 



Chairs. Yellow. Free. Ripens September i. 



CHAMPION. Ripens August i. Fruit large; creamy white, with red cheek; 

 sweet, juicy, very high quality. Good shipper; its fault, if it has one, is that 

 it is too tender. Free. One of the showiest Peaches in our sample orchard, 

 and one that sells for a good price. The tree is hardy and productive, and it 

 is a valuable Peach for either the home or the commercial orchard. From 

 400 trees ten years old we picked this season two cars of select peaches which 

 sold at $2 to $3 per six-gallon carrier. Three-year-old trees produced one 

 basket per tree. 



Denton. Yellow. Free. Ripens August 25 to September i. 



Dewey (Admiral Dewey). Yellow. Free. Ripens June 25 to July 4. 



Early Crawford. Yellow. Free. Ripens July 28 to August 10. 



Early Wheeler (Red Bird Cling). Creamy white. Ripens very early, July 25 

 to August 10. 



Easton Cling. White. Cling. Ripens September 10 to 25. 



Ede (Captain Ede). Yellow. Free. Ripens August 10 to 25. 



Edgemont. Yellow. Free. Ripens September i. 



ELBERTA. Ripens middle of August. The reliable Peach, of which more 

 are planted and from which more money has been made than from any other 

 variety. The fruit is large to extra large; golden yellow, with brilliant shades 

 of red; firm, juicy, rich, sweet. Tree vigorous, sturdy, hardy; thrives in widely 

 differing localities. The Elberta is the one variety that every fruit-stand 

 customer seems to know. No other Peach has even been introduced which 

 fills all the requirements of a commercial Peach with such success as Elberta, 

 in size, appearance and quality. 



Engle. Yellow. Free. Ripens September i to 10. 



Fitzgerald. Yellow. Free. Ripens August 25 to September i. 



Ford Late. White. Free. Ripens September 10 to 25. 



Foster. Yellow. Free. Ripens July 28 to August 10. 



Fox. White. Free. Ripens middle of September. 



Francis. Yellow. Free. Ripens August 25 to September i. A good one to 

 follow Elberta. 



Geary. Yellow. Free. Ripens September i to 10. 



GREENSBORO. Ripens June 25 to July 10. Many growers consider this to 

 be the best of the early Peaches. It has proved its value in our test orchard, 

 and with commercial growers, many of whom rightly consider it a most 

 important part of their orchards. Being somewhat tender, it requires extra 

 care in shipment, but it reaches the market when Peaches are in strong 

 demand, and it amply repays any attention given to its handling. The fruit 

 is extra large for such an early Peach and one of the handsomest, being of a 

 rich yellowish white, with a crimson cheek; the flesh is white, exceedingly 

 tender and of fine quality; ripens perfectly to the pit. Free.
