DAYIDSON—Ripens right after Alexander, medium size, white with red cheek; very deli- 

 cious; very hardy. Bears a heavy crop the third year after planting. First of August. 



BEL.L.E OF liEOKGIA— Very large; skin white Avith red cheek; flesh white tirmandof 

 excellent flavor; fruit uniformly large and showy; tree a rapid grower and productive; very 

 prolific; free. J uly 1st to 15th. 



WADDELL— Another new early peach, originating in Georgia, and commended especialiy 

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

 Avhite, with bright blush; flesh firm, white, and very sweet and rich Avhen ripe; freestone. On& 

 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. 



EODGE— Originated in the famous peach belt of Delaware (Kent county). A heavy and 

 regular bearer. White flesh, red blush, juicy and sweet. Excellent shipper and is a money 

 maker in the locality in which it originated. Tree extremely hardy and vigorous grower. 



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

 appearance, with a delicateiy flushed skin, shaded Avith red. Flesh is white, and of a rich flavor 

 and juicy; a perfect freestone and very producti\^e. A better shipper than Mountain Rose, 

 handling quite as wel 1 as Troth, than Avhich. howcA'er, it is much larger and of more attractive, 

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

 Early is about over and Troth beginning to ripen. 



HYNES' SURPRISE— True freestone Avhen ripe; resists rot better than Hale's Early, 

 which it resembles. 



I^berta peacli has already been -well tested a^id is one of tlie most profitable marked 



varieties.
