HARRISON'S NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 



CARMAN— A peach of Xorth China type that promises great value. The originator say3 

 it is either a seedlinH- ot or a sister to EU)crta: tree of same habit of growth, only has larger 

 and darker colored foliage Tree hardy and productive and fruit practically rot proof, as 

 original tree, standing in low. wet ground, has perfected its fruit two seasons, while other 

 varieties all about ha^■e rotted entirely. Carman is described as large, broad, oval in form, 

 pointed: skin yellowish white, dotted and flushed red; flesh creamj- white, slightly tinged red. 

 •of a sprightly vinoustlavor. The Rtiral New Yorl^er first described' it some years ago as an extra 

 large, yellow peach, like Elberta. only five weeks earlier: it certainly is of Elberta type, but it 

 3s not strictly a yellow, neither is it Avhite. The Texas Farm and Rhuch says : ■'Carman peach 

 is of large size, oblong, resembling Elberta, and is the best flavored esLvly peach we know; the 

 skin Is tough, and it is just the peach to ship a long distance."
