32 ELLWANGER & BARRY’S 
Red Cheek Melocoton—A famous old, well-known and popular variety; large, 
oval; yellow with a red cheek; flesh yellow, juicy, rich and vinous. Tree very 
hardy and productive; valuable for the orchard. Middle to end of September. 
Rivers’ Early York (Rivers)—Medium size; skin marbled with red; flesh so 
melting and juicy as to dissolve in the mouth, leaving no fibre; one of the first 
freestones to ripen. Latter part of August. 
Snow Peach—A beautiful fruit, medium size; skin and flesh clear creamy white 
throughout. Tree hardy and productive; blossoms white and shoots greenish, 
very distinct, and one of the most desirable of white peaches for preserving. 
Beginning to middle of September. 
Stump the World—A New Jersey variety; red and white, handsome, good size 
and fair quality. Very productive. End of September. 
Surpasse Melocoton—(E. & B.)—A large, pale yellow fleshed peach of the high- 
est quality. A strong grower and productive; raised by us from seed. First to 
middle of September. 
Susquehanna—A very large and superb yellow peach from Pennsylvania; melt- 
ing, rich and fine. End of September. 
“Walburton Admirable—An English variety; very large, melting and rich. 
Quite late. 
Ward’s Late Free—A fine late peach, resembling the Old Mixon; flesh nearly 
white, flavor excellent; ripens with Crawford’s Late. 
Notr.—Those marked * usually require a longer season than we have in Western 
New York. 
NEW VARIETIES AND OTHERS NOT SUFFICIENTLY 
TESTED HERE, 
Waterloo—A seedling originated in Waterloo, N. Y., by Mr. Henry Lisk of that 
place, from whom we purchased the original tree, and the exclusive right to 
propagate and sell it. 
Size—Medium to large, good specimens measuring nine inches in circumference, and 
weighing five ounces. 
Form—Round, with a deep suture on one side, from stem to apex; stalk in a deep 
cavity; apex slightly depressed. 
Color—Pale whitish green in the shade; marbled red deepening into dark purple 
crimson in the sun. 
Flesh—Greenish white, with abundance of sweet, vinous juice; adheres considerably 
to the stone like Hale’s, Amsden, etc. 
Season—In 1878 the first specimen ripened July 14th, and measured ten inches in cir- 
cumference. All the fruit was gathered and mostly overripe, on the 19th of the 
same month. The present season (1881) we did not have an opportunity to 
judge it fairly, the original tree having died and all the fruit on a young orchard 
having been destroyed by the rose chafer. In other orchards, however, we 
found it to ripen with Alexander and Amsden, to be about same size, but of 
better quality. It also seems less disposed to decay than the other very early 
sorts. Price on Peach stock, 40 cents each. Price on Plum stock, 6O cents 
each. 
A REMARKABLE PEACH.—Ellwanger & Barry, of Rochester, on the 20th of July, 
sent us specimens of a peach, which for its large size and extreme earliness must 
attract attention. The specimens were large (measuring fully two inches and five- 
eighths in diameter); nearly round, rather depressed at the ends, mottled and broadly 
striped fine red on yellow or greenish yellow ground; suture very distinct; stalk deeply 
inserted; flesh very juicy and melting, adhering to the pale yellow stone; quality 
good, but not of the highest flavor. Messrs. E. & B. inform us that these specimens 
were grown and ripened on the original tree in the open ground near Waterloo, N. Y. 
They have named it the Waterloo. At the same time that these specimens were re- 
ceived, peaches on a tree of the Amsden on our grounds were yet nearly green and 
quite hard—which shows the extreme earliness of the new variety.—Country Gentle- 
man, August 1st, 1878.
