 dark red Cherries of the Pacific Northwest. Almost 

 unequaled in size, attractiveness and quality. Flesh 

 dark red, firm, meaty and with purple juice. 



BLACK TARTARIAN (Sweet). The most de- 

 pendable of the large, dark red, sweet Cherries. Qual- 

 ity is excellent. Tree is thrifty and very productive. 



EARLY RICHMOND (Sour). Dark red; 

 medium size; very popular. A standard and time- 

 tried variety. Early May market.

 late, sour Cherry. Fruit large, handsome, rich, dark 

 wine color; red flesh and red juice, and with pleasing 

 aromatic flavor. 



GOV. WOOD (Sweet). Large, light red, juicy, 

 rich, delicious. Very healthy and productive. June. 



LAMBERT (Sweet). Fruit resembles Black Heart, 

 but larger, smoother and brighter. Flesh purple red 

 marbled with lighter red, rich, juicy and good flavor. 



MONTMORENCY (Sour). Larger than Early 

 Richmond, and ten days later. Probably the best 

 variety in cultivation for market. Good for canning 

 and home use. 



OKA (Sweet). The new, big, black, sweet Cherry, 

 1 '/* in. in diameter, grows on a tree so small that 

 one can have them in the back yard. 



ROYAL ANNE (Sweet). Used by most of the 

 commercial canneries. Light in color and ranks high 

 by virtue of its large size, handsome appearance and 

 high quality fruit. 



Peaches 



CHAMPION. The finest, standard, white Peach 

 grown. Do not fail to include Champion in your 

 planting. 



EARLY ELBERTA. Ripens about a week earlier 

 than Elberta, otherwise the same. Quality of iruit 

 somewhat better. A most profitable variety. 



ELBERTA. The standard yellow variety. Heavy 

 yielder. Quality is good if allowed to ripen on tree. 

 Freestone, mid-season. 



GOLDEN JUBILEE. A large Peach of the El- 

 berta type, very recently became the most popular 

 early yellow. Ripens three weeks earlier than El- 

 berta and of equal quality. The skin is yellow 

 blushed with red; flesh yellow, juicy, tender, sweet, 

 freestone. 



HALEHAVEN. A most desirable new variety 

 from Michigan, with the large fruit of the Hale 

 and the good qualities of its other parent — produc- 

 tiveness, high quality, hardiness in bud and wood. 

 Halehaven is one of the best varieties to precede 

 Elberta. 



J. H. HALE. Large size and beauty of the fruit 

 are the two outstanding characteristics. Fine for 

 dessert or canning. Brings fancy price on market. 

 Fruit large yellow with red cheeks. Freestone. 



ROCHESTER. A heavy yielding, yellow freestone 

 of high quality dark red skin and good shape fruit, 

 ripening 2 to 3 weeks before Elberta. Possibly the 

 hardiest of all commercial Peaches. It comes into 

 bearing at an early age. 



SHIPPERS BIG RED. Originated in Indiana 

 where it is considered the best commercial Peach on 

 the market. Fruit is a freestone, oblong, large to 

 very large; skin is a fine golden yellow almost 

 completely covered with a splendid rich red making 

 the well-ripened fruit on the tree appear solid red all 

 over, flesh rich yellow, moderately fine grained, juicy 

 and good quality. 



SOUTH HAVEN. Another large, yellow Peach 

 of high quality, showing exceptional hardiness. South 

 Haven ripens between Rochester and Elberta and 

 holds a highly esteemed place in the home and com- 

 mercial planting. 



Pears 



Summer 



BARTLETT. Large, buttery, juicy, high-flavored, 

 great bearer; very popular both for eating and can- 

 ning. August and September. 



Autumn 



DOUGLAS. A recent introduction of supreme 

 value to fruit-growers, because it is "blight proof" 

 and "frost proof." The fruit is large, smooth, of 

 attractive beauty. Its thin but protective skin is 

 golden yellow flecked with russet, and thickly 

 blushed scarlet on the sunny side. Flesh whitish, fine 

 grained, tender; a small core with few seeds. Flavor 

 sweet but with a piquant acidity.

 tery, rich juicy. Pick them before maturity, wrap 

 in tissue paper, and rack away for complete ripening.

KIEFFER. Large size, handsome appearance, and 

 remarkable keeping and shipping qualities. October- 

 November. 



SECKEL. Small; skin yellowish brown with 

 brownish red cheek; flesh fine grained, sweet, richest 

 and highest flavor. Equally popular for dessert and 

 pickling. September-October. 



WORDEN. A seedling of the Seckel, equal in 

 quality but larger and richer. Hardy and an enor- 

 mous bearer. October. 



Winter 



BOSC. Finest quality late fall and winter variety. 

 Extra large, long and tapering; russet; good shipper, 

 brings highest market price. A vigorous grower.
