Peach—earliest to ripen and earliest to 
bear; the latest bloom. Color, red all over. 
Fruit medium to large, slightly oblong and 
pointed; juicy and good. Most of the very 
early Peaches are lacking in color, while 
the Mayflower is a beautiful solid red, 
which makes it sell well on the markets.

BARTLETT PEAR.—This well known 
variety, one of the finest Pears in cultiva- 
tion, has been successfully cultivated here, 
but occasionally it has blighted. Since the 
introduction of the Le Conte, trials have 
been made with success.. This is, by graft- 
ing this and other fine varieties upon the 
Le Conte—by so doing the trees are im- 
parted with the vigor of the latter, grow- 
ing stronger, and making finer and health- 
ier trees. We offer trees grafted on the Le 
Conte stock for sale. One year old trees, 
40c. each, $4.00 per dozen:
