TRIUMPH. 



Those who grow early peaches will greatly rejoice at 

 the advent of this fine variety. It is a great improve- 

 ment upon ^Uexander. and recalls what the late Charles 

 Downing once said : A freestone as large, handsome, 

 early and good in quahty as Alexander would be worth 

 a milhon dollars to the public."' The Triumph origin- 

 ated in Georgia, and more than meets these require- 

 ments. It ripens icith Alexander, blooms late, has 

 large fiowers, is a sure and abimdant bearer, makes a 

 very strong groAvth. and comes into bearing early. The 

 fruit is large, with very small pit, yeUoic icith mottled ^ 

 crimson cheeh\ very handsome; flesh yelloic and ripens 

 evenly to the stone, firm in texture and exceedingly k, 

 fine in quality, and is a perfect freestone. This is a fef 

 union of desirable quahties for which every grower^/ 

 of peaches should be devoutly thankful. Its intro-%>~ 

 duction marks an era in the growing of early -J; 

 peaches. TTe give it our unqualified commendation 

 and hope all will plant it this season, if but a single tree.

BOKARA (No. 3). 



A wonderful new peach, remarkable for its extreme 

 hardiness, having endured in Iowa a temperatiu'e of 28 

 degrees below zero and yet borne fruit. Its history is 

 interesting. The seed was sent from Bokara. Asia, by 

 American missionaries and from these seedhngs this 

 (Xo. 3) was selected and propagated. It has been 

 fruited for many years in Iowa and ripens there about 

 the middle of August. Prof. Budd of the Iowa Agri- 

 cultural College praises its hardiness and productive- 

 ness, declaring it to be 30 per cent, hardier than the old 

 strain of peaches. The fruit is large, specimens having 

 measiu'ed seven inches in circumference. Yellow with 

 red cheek, skin tough, flesh of fine quahty ; a perfect 

 freestone. It is an excellent keeper and will shi'ivel 

 upon the tree before it will rot — a most valuable proper- 

 ty. We are informed that some of the other Bokara seed- 

 lings have been disseminated and so become mixed with 

 this, Seedhng Xo. 3. now known imder the name of 

 Bokara, hence buyers should make sm-e that they get 

 the true variety. The trees we ofi'er are from headquar- 

 ters stock and therefore strictly true to name. 1st

\ YENSHI HARDY. 



4' 



Also an extremely ear'Jv freestone of ironclad hardi- 

 ness, said to excel Alexander in both appearance and 

 size. It was originally introduced from northwestern 

 China and named by Prof. Budd of the Iowa Agricul- 

 tural College, who has testified to its imconmion hardi- 

 ness. The first is large and handsome. yeUow, excel- 

 lent in quality, and a perfect freestone. It is a vigorous 

 grower and often bears the second year from the bud. 

 Its perfect hardiness has been proved bv its bearing 

 large crops in both Illinois and Iowa after passing 

 thi'ough the most severe winters. Those v\ ho are seek- 

 ing a sui"e bearing, very early peach of superior 

 quality, should not fail to plant the Yenshi. 1st class, 

 ea., 35c; 3 for 90c; doz.. 83.00; lt)0, 820.00.
