J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— FRUIT TREES 



THE STUBENRAUCH PEACHES 



A group of Peaches that are truly wonderful. 



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 v^ith the ever reliable Carman — a bo^on to both 

 the commercial grower and the amateur indeed. Fortunately, every variety offered 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 Peaches 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. 



of the Hale, it is certainly ahead- of Elberta, and, 

 side by side, Toughina is yet decidedly ahead of 

 Hale." 



The name was given it by reason of its re- 

 markable shipping properties; for, in addition 

 t© 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 condition, 

 and after being kept a week in our office after 

 arrival were found to be of verv superior qual- 

 ity. The illustration is of one thus received. 

 The Rural New Yorker, in speaking 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."

TOUGHINA 



ANITA. — Similar in every way to Elberta 

 except it ripens ten days later and is more 

 prolific. 



FRANK. — Has borne fourteen 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 sea- 

 sons for the Peach. A clingstone and the only 

 one that is, 



LIZZIE.— Of large size, light lemon yel- 

 low with blush, of good quahty and a fine ship- 

 per. 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, 

 oj" even Hale, which I have growing close by. 

 Owing to its blooming later, it escapes injury 

 by cold when the Elbertas are killed. Speaking
