Tree a vigorous grower and heavy, anwwai bearer, with 

 fruit buds so hardy that it never fails to produce a crop; 

 even in New England. In northern sections of the 

 country where a very low temperature often quickly 

 follows a few warm days in winter or early spring it is 

 very desirable to possess a variety of more than usual 

 hardiness, as the ordinary leading standard varieties 

 cannot be depended upon in such sections to produce 

 crops with any degree of certaidty. The Connecticut 

 will produce a crop of fine fruit every year. 1st. c,

DELAWARE. 



Peach growers will appreciate the value of this Splen- 

 did new variety when told it is a great improvement 

 upon IMountain Rose, of which it is a seedling, ripening 

 just after Hale*S Early and before Troth. It resembles 

 its parent very much in general appearance and pos- 

 sesses all its good qualities ; but is a much better ship- 

 per and ripens considerably earlier. It is not an 

 untested novelty, but one that has been fruited for 

 several years with great profit. It is bound to be in 

 great demand as soon as fully known. 1st. c, ea., 20c ;
