THE STUBENRAUCH PEACHES 



A group of Peaches that are truly wonderful and mark a great advance in this important 

 fruit. 



They were produced by Mr. J. W. Stubenrauch of Texas, the originator of the Carman 

 Peach, and in addition to fine appearance and high quality of the fruit, they possess the prop- 

 erties of hardiness of tree and blossom to such a degree as to insure a heavy crop of peaches 

 every year; a full crop being as certain as with the ever rehable Carman — a boon to both 

 the commercial grower and the amateur indeed. Fortunately, every variety of¥ered has been 

 thoroughly tested for many years. As a matter of fact, Mr. Stubenrauch produced hundreds 

 of varieties from crosses of the best varieties in cultivation and upon giving them severe test 

 at his home in Texas — perhaps the most trying location for Peaches anywhere in the United 

 States — he discarded everyone that he found wanting in hardiness, productiveness or high 

 quality of fruit. We are fully convinced these Texas varieties will seat upon the throne more 

 firmly than ever the Peach as the "Queen of Fruits." They are all yellow fleshed varieties. 

 The descriptions in the main are those of the originator, who in most cases, as will be noted, 

 gives the Elberta in comparison — the yellow Peach most widely grown at the present time. 



The name was given it by reason of its re- 

 markable shipping properties; for in addition 

 to its certainty to bear peaches of great size 

 and high quality, beyond a doubt it surpasses 

 by far all other peaches as a shipper. On two 

 different occasions, specimens^ sent us by 

 parcel post from Texas arrived in perfect con- 

 dition and after being kept a week in our 

 office after arrival, were found to be of very 

 superior quality. The illustration is of one thus 

 received. The Rural New Yorker in speak- 

 ing of it says: "Our friend, J. W. Stubenrauch 

 of Texas, sent us by parcel post specimens of 

 his peach, Toughina. The fruit arrived in fine 

 condition without a bruise or blemish. * * * 

 The Toughina seems to us of better quality 

 than J. H. Hale and it surely seems a real 

 acquisition."

PLUMS 



Plant 20 feet apart each way; 108 trees per 

 acre. 



FIRST CLASS, 6 to 8 feet, H inch caliper, 



each, 60c.; dozen, $6.00; 100, $30.00. 



ABUNDANCE (Japanese).— Early. Amber 

 much covered with carmine. Very juicy and 

 of excellent quality; heavy annual bearer. 

 Best and most reliable plum for New Jersey. 



BRADSHAW.— Early. Purple with bloom. 

 Very large, reliable but not of high quality. 



GRAND DUKE.— A large purple variety 

 that does not rot upon the tree. Ripens late, 

 reliable, valuable. 



GREEN GAGE.— Midseason. Yellowish 

 green, small, highest quality. Tree a poor 

 grower. 



LOMBARD.— Midseason. Violet-red, large, 

 reliable; very popular; fine grower and pro- 

 lific. 



MOORE'S ARCTIC— Belongs to the Dam- 

 son class and is the best of the Damsons. 

 Large for a Damson, purplish black, juicy, 

 sweet and good. Late, vigorous, prolific. 



OCTOBER PURPLE.— A hybrid of the 

 Japanese Plum and the Apricot. Large, purple 

 with yellow flesh; very late. One of the few 

 varieties that suceeds everywhere. Distinct 

 and very valuable. 



RED JUNE (Japanese).— The earliest plum. 

 Deep red, strong grower, prolific. 



REINE CLAUD (De Bavary).— Midseason. 

 Green marked with red on sunny side. 



TOUGHINA 



ANITA. — Similar in every way to Elberta 

 except it ripens ten days later and is more 

 prolific. 



FRANK. — Has borne thirteen successive 

 crops. Ripens about four days after Elberta. 

 Large as Elberta, nearly covered with red, 

 skin tough; flesh juicy and of high quality. 

 Requires thinning to prevent overbearing, 

 even in bad seasons for the Peach. A cling- 

 stone and the only one that is. 



LIZZIE. — Of large size, light lemon yel- 

 low with blush, of good quality and a fine 

 shipper. Ripens just after Elberta. Has but 

 little fuzz. 



TENA. — Ripens with Elberta. Same size 

 and color as Elberta though a little brighter 

 and of better quality. Has a large hardy 

 flower; hence a heavy annual cropper. 



TOUGHINA.— "In size this Peach is very 

 large, some specimens weighing twelve 

 ounces. The color is a bright yellow, nearly 

 covered with beautiful red. Fuzz, what there 

 is of it, is very short. Quality is far better 

 than Elberta, or even Hale, which I have 

 growing close by. Owing to its blooming 

 later, it escapes injury by cold when the El- 

 bertas are killed. Speaking of the Hale, it is 

 certainly ahead of Elberta and side by side, 

 Toughina is yet decidedly ahead of Hale."
