■f CAPTAIN EDE— The introducer says of it: 



> ''The Captain Ede was originated in Southern 111- 

 J^inois. Among the leading fruit growers it is con- 



> sidered the best orchard peach, being a beautiful, 

 ^ very large yellow freestone, covered slightly with 

 ■ a delicate carmine on one sile. It ripens'about 



- with Crawford's Early, one Aveek before the Ei- 

 ^ berta. The tree is a fine, upright grower, bearing 



bountiful crops: it should be thinned, in order to 



- get the best specimens. It is very hardy, both in 

 ^ bud and bloom. It is remarkable "for its freedom 



> from rot and its good shipping qualities." '20< each, 



> §2.00 per dozen, SlO.OO per 100. Jtme buds half price.

■f EDGE 31 o NT — This variety is planted 



> in West Virginia in the Blue Ridge Mountains in 



■ the new peach belt of that State and is regarded as 

 • one of the most valuable varieties, being large and 

 ^ of the Crawford Early type : yellow with a fine 



■ blush in the sun. flesh yellow, sweet and of the 

 ■highest flavor and ripening about the last of Sep- 



■ tember when yellow peaches are in great demand. 

 This variety was originated at Edgemont, Mary- 

 land, from whence it~derived its name. Price. 25« 

 each, $2..50 per dozen ; $10,00 per hundred. June 



^ buds, half price. 



TV ADDEUL— Another new early peach, origi- 

 nating in Georgia, and commended especially by 

 Mr._ Hale, who has planted it largely. It is of medium to large size, oblong in shape : creamy 

 white, with bright blush: flesh firm, white, and verv sweet and rich when ripe: freestone. 

 One notable thing is the long-keeping quality of Waddell. and also its exceptional capacity 

 for shipping. There is no doubt as to the value of this new peach. Price, 20^ each, $2,00 

 per dozen ; SIO.OO per hundred. June buds, half price. 



DEXATVARE— A seedling of Mountain Rose, but much earlier. Of large size and fine 

 appearance, with a delicately flushed skin, shaded with red. Flesh is white, and of a rich 

 flavor and juicy : a perfect freestone and verv productive. A better shipper than Mountain 

 Ptose. handling quite as well as Troth, than which, however, it is much larger and of more at- 

 tractive coloring, as well as earlier. It comes in just when a good shipping peach is needed, 

 when Hale sEariyis about over and Troth beginning to ripen. Price, 30^ each, ?2.00 per dozen; 

 ?10,(X) per hundred. June buds, half price. *- - i , t- *-
