J. T. Lovett — Peaches. 



N£W VARIETIES. 



GLiOBE.— An accidental seedling from Penn., 

 which may very properly he called an improvement 

 upon Crawford's Late. Its size, beauty, and flavor 

 have caused it to he in popular demand, and, although 

 a comparatively new variety, its claims are so just and 

 so well sustained by the opinions of good and experi- 

 enced horticulturists, that it cannot fail to make a 

 satisfactory record in the minds of all who fairly test 

 it. The tree is a rapid, ^igorous grower, and an 

 enormous bearer. Fruit exceedingly large, globular 

 In form, maintaining its size uniformily. Of a rich 

 golden yellow, with red blush ; flesh very flrm, coarse- 

 grained, but juicy, yellow, shaded with a reddish 

 tinge towards the pit. Free from the stone, of good 

 quality, pleasant, luscious, rich and vinous. At its 

 home it begins to ripen in the second week of Sep- 

 tember, and lasts until first of October. Its good qual- 

 ities have been such that it has never failed to take 

 first premium when exhibited in competition with 

 other varieties. It is also of good keeping qualities, 

 the flesh remaining hard and flrm after long exposure.

\' FORDS L.ATE.— The latest white freestone 

 peach, consequently one of the most valuable for 

 market. Also especially desirable for the family gar- 

 den, as it prolongs the season, and- gives a handsome 

 white peach for canning when other varieties are 

 gone. Tree a good vigorous grower; and very pro- 

 ductive. Fruit very large and beautiful, command- 

 ing a high price in market; flesh quite free, white, 

 solid, and flne in texture; flne quality. Ripens in 

 October, after the season of Smock, etc. 1st. c, ea,

HYATT. (X) -An extra early, extra hardy new 

 peach, resembling Alexander and Amsden. but larg- 

 er. Parts from the pit freely (as freely as Old Mixon 

 Free! and of firmer flesh, hence it is believed will 

 not rot so badly. Originated in Steuben Co., N. Y. 

 Price same as FoirVs Late. 



ROSER. (iV^)— From Northern Indiana. The 

 originator describes it as "large, rather oblong in 

 shape, nearly smooth, yellow and white, blended 

 with a beautiful blush on one side. It is a perfect 

 freestone of the best quality— rich, meaty. It ripens 

 in September and (October, being in season fully a 

 month, making it very desirable for family use." It 

 is also claimed to always reproduce itself from seed. 



The tree is very distinct from anything I have grown. 

 Price same as Ford's Late. 

 ' J YELiLiOW i^IYSTERT . — From Maryland. 

 Large, round; yellow with crimson cheek, strikingly 

 handsome; flesh yellow, flrm, luscious, of good qual- 

 ity. Tree vigorous and productive. Said to ripen 

 eight days in advance of Troth's Early and the fruit 

 does not rot like other early sorts. J. B. ea, 25c; doz, 

 $2.00. 



t . TONG-PA (J\r).— A new hardy peach from the 

 mountains of Northern China. Medium to large; 

 white with carmine cheek, handsome; flesh white, 

 tender, sweet, good flavor. Said to be the hardiest 

 peach in cultivation. J. B. ea, 25c; doz, $2.00. 



1^ JAPAN HARDY. (iV^)— From the cold reg- 

 ions of Northern Japan and exceedingly hardy. 



I White shaded with deep reddish brown, flesh white, 



i of good quality. These are three distinct sons. 

 Prof. Budd of Iowa says they are flfty per cent har- 

 dier than ordinary peaches and well worthy of a 



. trial. J. B. ea, 50c; doz, $5.00. 



Ijove All,— From California. Large, round; yel- 

 low, flrm. of flne quality. Excellent for canning. 



, J. B. ea, 25c: doz, $2.00. 



OTuir.— Also a California seedling. The originat- 

 or says: "I believe it to be a seedling from the Ear- 

 ly Crawford though its leaf is more like a willow. 

 It is an excellent bearer, does not curl. The fruit is 

 large to very large; is very freestone; never saw one 

 stick to the pit. It is a flne shipper, and one of the 

 best canning peaches in the United States. As a 

 drj-ing peach it excels all others ever introduced 

 into this market." J. B. ea, 25c; doz.S2.00. 



WONDERFUL..— This extraordinary peach 

 which created such a furore at the Mt. Holly Fair, of 

 this State last Autumn, has now been bought of the 

 originator and is owned by myself and two others. 

 In beauty, productiveness and other desirable quali- 

 ties, it transcends all others to such a desree that the 

 word '"Wonderful" unconciously escapes so many 

 upon seeing it, that it became known at once as that 

 "Wonderful peach." Hence that name has been ac- 

 cepted for it, contrary to the wishes of its owners, 

 by force of circumstances. It is a freestone, of the 

 richest golden yellow, largely overspread with vivid 

 carmine, and ripens after nearly all other peaches 

 have disappeared. Its keeping qualities are as re- 

 markable as it is beautiful. No trees are yet for sale, 

 but will be offered so soon as a stock can be pro- 

 duced.
