V LOYETT S WHITE. 



Fine white peaches are always in demand and are very desirable, especially late in the season, when they 



invariably command good prices. In Lovett's White may be 

 found every quality demanded in the ideal white peach, with the 

 additional merit of an ironclad tree. It has the size and all the 

 merits of the Late White Heath or Heath Cling, with the addit- 

 ional one of being a perfect freestone, ripens with it, and is hand- 

 somer, hardier, of better quality, and a more abundant and 

 regular bearer. It has been thoroughly tested, both at the 

 North and South, and is a sure and abundant bearer — yielding 

 I annually in Massachusetts and Connecticut, in orchards where 

 almost all other varieties fail. We are confident it is the hardiest 

 purely white peach yet produced. Season very late, color pure 

 white, and white at the stone; very large; splendid form, with 

 indistinct suture; does not crack and is exceptionally free from 

 spots or mildew. It is a long keeper, the flesh being firm, sweet 

 and excellent, and parts from the pit perfectly. 1st c, ea. 20c. •

LEMON FREE. 



One of the best of the newer varieties, valuable for its 

 productiveness, beauty and fine quality. It is of large 

 size, the finest specimens measuring over twelve inches 

 in circumference, beautiful pale lemon-yellow when 

 ripe. Quality excellent, sweet and rich. Exceedingly 

 productive, and ripens after Crawford's Late. It is the 

 surest yielder of any variety we have yet known, 

 never as yet failing to give a crop in the most unfavor- 

 able season. 1st c, ea., 20c.; 3 for 50c.; doz., $1.75.

Medium, ea., 15c., 3 for 35c.; 

 J. B., ea., 10c. ; 3 for 25c; doz. 



Medium size, round; bright yellow with crimson 

 splashes and stripes, very attractive ; flesh bright yellow, 

 red at the stone, juicy, mild, sub-acid, rich. Ripens 

 just before Crawford's Late. Valuable principally for 

 the unusual hardiness of its fruit buds. It is an abun- 

 dant and regular bearer. 1st c, ea., 20c., 3 for 50c. ; 



A western peach of very large size (having measured 

 ten inches in circumference) and good quality; also 

 noticeable for the regularity of its bearing. Skin is of 

 a rich, creamy white, with a red cheek; flesh creamy 

 white, sweet and delicious, rich and juicy. It ripens 

 at its home in Illinois about Aug. 5th. It resembles 

 Lovett's White, except that it has a little color and is 

 much earlier. We know of no other white peach so 

 fine which ripens so early, and the fact that it is so 

 hardy as to produce a crop when all others fail, renders 

 it of great value. 1st c, ea., 20c. ; 3 for 50c. ; do?., $1.50;

PEACH PITS. 



We use hundreds of bushels of Peach Pits yearly, for our own planting, and are obliged 

 therefore to procure them in large quantities from the collectors. We are now enabled 

 to offer to our customers a fine stock of choice Southern Natural Peach Pits from original 

 seeding trees, grown below the Yellows' line and entirely free from any disease or taint. 

 Owing to their great scarcity this season the price is higher than usual. The prices 

 quoted cover cost of sacks and cartage to depot. Quart 50c. (by mail) ; peck, $1.00,- 

 bushel, $3.00; by freight or express.
