Hieley (Early Bell)— This seedling of Bell of 

 Georgia, one of the best of all peaches of North China 

 type, the kind that are among our most hardy, is much 

 like its parent in size, color and beauty, having the 

 same vigor of tree and hardiness of fruit buds, but 

 riiiens its fruit nearly a mouth earlier, thus giving us 

 a large,. rich, creamy white peach, with rich blush on 

 sunny side, at a season when in former years we had 

 only small semi-cling varieties of poor quality. Early 

 Bell is aslarge as Stump, as beautiful as Old Mixon, of 

 fine quality and a good shipper. July 15th. 



Triumph — Very early yellow freestone peach, ripen- 

 ing with Alexander. Blooms late, has large flowers, 

 is a sure and abundant bearer and makes a very strong 

 growth. The fruit is small with a very small pit, and 

 is indeed beautiful. Surface is yellow, nearly covered 

 with red and dark crimson in the sun. Flesh bright 

 yellow, free when fully ripe and of excellent flavor. 



Admiral Dewey — It is a perfect freestone; ripens 

 with the Triumph ; flesh is yellow , of uniform texture 

 and color to pit. Has better form and brighter color 

 on the surface ; is equally hardy and productive. The 

 tree is a strong symmetrical grower, and as near per- 

 fection as we can obtain in a single variety. Origina- 

 tor's description.
