SAMPLE ORCHARD. 



This is a specimen of our Test Orchard which we 

 have planted, from which we will cut our buds. We 

 believe it a good plan to have varieties in fruiting- 

 when you are cutting buds, then you can see what 

 variety you are getting. "^Ve have over 100 varieties 

 in this Test Orchard, and as fast as we can collect 

 new varieties the3" are planted here for testing for 

 our own benefit and for the benefit of our customers. 

 We are glad to have you share in these advantages.

 about the equal of Elberta, average specimens meas- 

 uring nine inches in circumference. It is very pro- 

 ductive. It is a true freestone, with particularly 

 solid flesh, and as a "shipper" is absolutely without 

 a rival.

 round or nearly so, having no point or bunch at cen- 

 ter. It is large; yellow, wuth good rich coloring,

 flavor, fine for preserving; tree very hardy and pro- 

 ductive. Last of August. 



Niag'ara. — It may be called the New Elberta, since 

 in appearance it is just like Elberta. It seems to 

 have all the desirable qualities of Elberta with none 

 of its defects. Another reason is that while Elberta

 and far superior to Elberta. Niagara ripens one
