FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL NURSERY STOCK 23 



PEACHES, continued 



Champion. Ripens Aug. 1. Fruit large, creamy 

 white, with red cheek; sweet, juicy, very high qual- 

 ity and splendid. Good shipper; its fault, if any- 

 thing, is that it is too tender. Hardy and produc- 

 tive. Free. One of the showiest Peaches in our 

 sample orchard. 



Chinese Cling. Ripens July 12-28. Large, round; 

 transparent, creamy white, beautifully mottled; 

 melting, rich. 



Crawford's Early. Ripens July 28-Aug. 10. Trees 

 vigorous and very productive. Good size; yellow; 

 juicy, sweet-flavored; one of the standards for 

 this ripening in commercial orchards. Free. 



Crawford's Late. Ripens Sept. l. One of the 



best late sorts. Superb in 



size and shape; splendid yellow, with broad, dark 

 red cheek; flesh deep yellow, juicy and melting, 

 rich, winy flavor. Free. Tree vigorous, hardy 

 and sure-bearing. Coming in at a time when the 

 early Peaches are over, this variety is eagerly 

 bought up for canning and preserving, and brings 

 the highest prices. By many it is considered the 

 best of all late yellow Peaches, and, being such a 

 remarkably good shipper, it reaches market in 

 thoroughly first-class condition. 



Crosby. Ripens Sept. 1-10. Vigorous; bright 

 orange-yellow. Free. 



Edgemont Beauty. Ripens September 1-10. 

 Large; yellow. Free. 



Elberta. Ripens middle of August. The old 



reliable, of which more are planted and 



from which more money has been made than 

 from any other Peach. Most dependable. Large 

 to extra large; golden yellow, with brilliant shades 

 of red; firm, juicy, rich, sweet. Tree vigorous, 

 sturdy, hardy; thrives in widely diff"ering localities. 

 For years Elberta has been the standard market 

 Peach both in southern and northern markets, 

 and it has a place in the estimation of commercial 

 growers which will be hard to fill with any other 

 variety. No other Peach has ever been introduced 

 which fills all the requirements of a commercial 

 Peach with such success as Elberta, in size, appear- 

 ance and quality. (See page 24.)

Geary's Hold On. ?^p^^\ Sept i-io. 



Among the late Peaches 



this variety occupies a very prominent place by 

 reason of its superb appearance, large size and 

 extra-fine quality. In general, it is much like the 

 old Smock, but a great improvement on that old 

 standby. In size it is among the largest, and of a 

 beautiful golden yellow with a brilliant red cheek; 

 the flesh is yellow, rich, luscious and altogether 

 of the finest quality. Free. 



Globe. Ripens Sept. 1-10. Large; yellow, shaded 

 red; rich. Free. 



Gold Drop. Ripens Aug. 25-Sept. 1. Large; 

 yellow. Free. Tree a heavy bearer. 



Greensboro. Ripens June 25-July 4 Extra- 



large lor sucn an early Peach 



and one of the handsomest, being of a rich yel- 

 lowish white, with a crimson cheek; the flesh is 

 white, exceedingly tender, and of fine quality; 

 ripens perfectly to the pit. Free. The best com- 

 mercial early Peach of its season in existence. It 

 has proven its value in our test orchard, and for 

 commercial growers, many of whom rightly 

 consider it a most important part of their orchards. 

 Being somewhat tender, it requires extra care in 

 shipment, but it reaches the market when Peaches 

 are in strong demand and it amply repays any 

 attention given to its handling. In every way it 

 has proved its worth in all parts of the country.
