 cheek ; flesh yellow, juicy, rich, and vinous. Tree very hardy and productive. Succeeds Crawford's 

 Late.

valuable late peach for market, where it will ripen. It is grown successfully at Keuka Lake in this 



State. 



Snow — A beautiful fruit, medium size ; skin and flesh clear creamy white throughout. Tree hardy and pro- 

 ductive ; blossoms white and shoots greenish ; very distinct. Beginning to middle of September. 



Stump the World — Red and white, handsome, good size and fair quality. Very productive. End of Sep- 

 tember. 



Surpasse Melocoton (E. & B.) — A large, pale yellow-fleshed peach of the highest quality. A strong grower 



and productive ; raised by us from seed. First to middle of September.

 Ward's Late — A fine late peach, resembling the Oldmixon ; flesh nearly white ; flavor excellent. Ripens 



with Crawford's Late.

PEACHES OF RECENT INTRODUCTION. 



Champion — A new early peach ; large, handsome, creamy white with red cheek ; sweet, rich, juicy ; free- 

 stone. Hardy and productive. 



Crosby — Fruit medium, roundish, slightly flattened, bright orange yellow, splashed with streaks of carmine 

 on sunny side ; good in quality. Ripens between Crawford's Early and Late. 



Elberta — Originated in Georgia a few years ago, and has proved to be one of the most valuable of the newer va- 

 rieties. The fruit is large, handsome, with golden yellow skin, covered with a bright crimson blush. Flesh 

 yellow, juicy ; quality good, though not quite equal to the Crawford. A peculiarity of the Elberta is 

 that the fruit can be gathered before it is ripe, and it will ripen up without rotting. It bears transporta- 

 tion well, and, taken all in all, is a variety of promise. 



Fitzgerald — A chance seedling from Canada, said to be superior to Crawford. 



Greensboro — A variety from North Carolina ; said to be larger and earlier than Alexander ; skin beautiful 

 crimson with a yellowish cast, flesh white, very juicy, and of extra quality for so early a peach. 



Triumph — From the South ; said to be a freestone, ripening with Alexander ; large yellow, nearly covered 

 with red ; flesh bright yellow, free when fully ripe, and of excellent flavor. 



SELECT APRICOTS. 



The Apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious fruits we possess, and its value is greatly enhanced 

 by the season of its ripening — between cherries and peaches. 



In the selection of choice garden fruits it is quite indispensable. It succeeds admirably trained in 

 Espalier form, which will be found advantageous in small gardens, as it may occupy a house wall, fence, or 

 trellis, leaving the open ground for other trees. In cold sections, too, where the trees get winter-killed, or the 

 the blossoms injured by the late spring frosts, these Espalier trees can easily be protected by mat or board 

 screens. For stiff and damp soils they should be on plum stocks ; but on light, loamy, gravelly, and sandy 

 soils, the peach is better. To protect against the curculio, see directions for the plum.
