FRANCES— In this new variety we believe we have one 

 -which is equal to the old standard. Elberta in ever.v respect 



and ripens after it. This new peach is destined to become as popular as Elberta, 

 Avhich it follows closeiy ia ripening. By the time the latter is done the Frances is 

 ready for shipment. It thu* prevents the occurrence of a break in the succession and reaches 

 market at a time when peaches command the highest price, because the beautiful Elberta has 

 created the demand. It is one of the handsomest peaches ever grown, being of a beautiful 

 shade of yellow, covered almost entirely with brilliant red. In size it is about the equal of 

 Elberta, average specimens measuring nine inches in circumference. It is very productive; the 

 originator cut a ni-anch nine inches long on which were growing nine full sized peaches. The 

 cut shows the France^ full size, and gives a good idea of its beautiful shape. It is a true 

 freestone, with particularly solid flesh, and as a ••shipper" is absolutelj' without a rival. Price 

 2o<? each, $2.50 per dozen, 510.00 per 100. June buds at half price.

 cover, white flesh, sweet, juicy, delicious flavor, free from bitterness, perfectly free, bright 

 red at stone and fi-ee from fiber. Time of ripening. October 10th, when no other late peach can 

 compete with it in size, quality or appearancB. 20o each, $2.00 per dozen, $10,00 per 100. June 

 buds at half price.
