It is somewhat difucult to believe that in such an early 

 peach as this, there is combined so many desirable qual- 

 ities, making it just what fruit growers have for so 

 long a time been seeking, and for which they now should 

 be devoutly thankful. But, remarkable as it may ap- 

 pear, the fact remains that it is not only early, but also 

 large, handsome, and good, and its introduction marks 

 an important era in the growing of early peaches. The 

 Triumph is a great improvement upon Alexander, with 

 which it ripens, bloom s late, has large flowers, k a sure 

 and abundant bearer, makes a very strong growth, and 

 comes into bearing early. The fruit is large, with very 

 small pit, yellow with mottled crimson cheek, very 

 handsome; flesh yellow and ripens evenly to the stone, 

 firm intexture and exceedingly fine in quality, and is 

 a perfect freestone. Such a variety is valuable in the 

 highest degree for market, and every garden should 

 contain a few trees of it for its home supply of flne, 

 large, early peaches.

CAPT, 



For extreme hardiness, combined wltn other desirable 

 properties, there are few, if any, peaches superior to 

 this, and in localities where extraordinary hardiness is 

 essential it v ill be largely planted, with satisfactory 

 results. It is of Asiatic origin, but has been fruited 

 for several years in Iowa, where it ripens about the 

 middle of August. Prof, Budd of the Iowa Agricultu- 

 ral College praises its hardiness and productiveness, it 

 having endui'ed in Iowa a temperature of 28 degrees 

 below zero and yet borne fruit. The fruit is large, 

 specimens having measured seven inches in circumfer- 

 ence. Yellow with red cheek, skin tough, flesh of fine 

 quality; a perfect freestone. It is an excellent keeper 

 and will shrivel upon the tree before it will rot — a most 

 valuable property. Other Bokara seedUngs are said 

 to have been disseminated and so become mixed with 

 this. Seedling No. 3, now known imder the name of 

 Bokara, hence buyers should make sure that they get 

 the true variety. The trees we offer are from head- 

 quarters stock and therefore strictly true to name.

EDE. 



This choice peach originated in southern Illinois from seed of the Chinese Cling, from which variety it 

 undoubtedly inherits its great hardiness. In the neighborhood of its home it is regarded as the best orchard peach 

 known there. The tree is a vigorous, upright grower, yielding immense crops, regularly. The fruit is as beau- 

 tiful as can be imagined, very large, bright yellow with delicate carmine cheek; flesh yellow, solid, juicy, excel- 

 lent rich quality; a perfect freestone. It is a good shipper and remarkably free from any disposition to rot. 

 Extremely hardy both in bud and bloom. Ripens about with Crawford's Early, one week before Elberta. As 

 compared with Elberta, it is said to be hardier, moie free from rot, more productive and of much better quality, 

 It is well worth the attention of those who want a handsome yellow peach of the very highest quality, a sure and 

 reliable bearer. First class, ea., 25c; 3 for 60c; doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00. Medium, ea., 15c; 3 for 35c; doz., $1.25; 

 100, $9.00. June buds, ea., 12c; 3 for 30c; doz., $1.00, 100, $6.00. J. B. smaller, by mail postpaid at samft price.
