HARRISON'S NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 



SECOND RIPENING. 



Carman — The originator says it is either a seedling 

 of or a sister to Elberta ; 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 per- 

 fected its fruit two seasons, while other varieties all 

 about have rotted entirely. Carman is described as 

 large, broad, oval in form, pointed; skin yellowish 

 white, dotted and flushed red; flesh creamy white, 

 slightly tinged red, of a sprightly vinous flavor. 



Early Rivers— A large peach of a pale straw color, 

 with a delicate pink cheek, desh with a delicate pink 

 tint. Middle of July. 



Hale's Early— An excellent peach when it succeeds, 

 but unfortunately it is so liable to rot before and at 

 time of ripening that it is not advisable to plant in 

 some places on that account. It does, however, suc- 

 ceed well in some places, and mostly in elevated lands 

 towards and among the mountains, and it should have 

 a place in the orchards, July. 



Lodge — Originated in the famous peach belt of Del- 

 aware (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 

 delicately flushed skin, shaded with red. Flesh is 

 white, and of a rich flavor and juicy; a perfect free- 

 stone and very productive. A better shipper than 

 Mountain Rose, handling quite as well as Troth, than 

 which, however, it is much larger and of more attrac- 

 tive coloring, as well as earlier. It comes in just when 

 a good shipping peach is needed, when Hale's Ear 1 y 

 is about over and Troth beginning to ripen. 



Hynes' Surprise — True freestone when ripe; re- 

 sists rot better than Hale's Early, which it resembles. 



Barnard's Early— Medium to large. Cheek pur- 

 plish red; flesh yellow, red at the stone; juicy, sweet 

 and rich. One of the best early, yellow fleshed free- 

 stoned peaches. July 15th. 



Troth's Early— A very early peach of medium 

 size, whitish, with a fine red cheek. Middle of July. 



Davidson— Ripens right after Alexander, medium 

 size, white with red cheek ; very delicious ; very hardy. 

 Bears a heavy crop the third year after planting. First 

 of August. 



Waddell — Another new early peach, originating in 

 Georgia and commended especially by Mr. Hale, who 

 has planted it largely. It is of medium to large size, 

 oblong in shape; creamy white, with bright blush; 

 flesh firm, white and very sweet and rich when ripe; 

 freestone. One 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. 



THIRD RIPENING. 



Yellow St. John— One of the most beautiful and 

 profitable yellow freestones. large; flesh yellow. 

 Equal in flavor to Crawford. Ve y juicy and sweet- 

 Early Michigan— One of the earliest freestone, 

 white flesh varieties. A profitable market sort, much 

 like Lewis. Has given great satisfaction in the western 

 section of the country. Hardy and prolific. 



Lewis — Vigorous grower, medium size, white with 

 crimson cheek. One of the earliest freestones, 

 Champion — See description in Winner's list. 

 Miss Lolo— A perfect freestone, fine quality, blush, 

 white flesh, vers' prolific. 



FOURTH RIPENING. 



Foster — Large, deep orange red, becoming very 

 dark red on the sunny side; flesh yellow , very rich 

 and juicy with sub-acid flavor. Resembles Crawford 

 Early, but larger and probably a little heavier bearer, 

 A very handsome freestone. 



Mary's Choice— Large to very large; yellow, 

 blushed with red ; free. A very fine peach, for either 

 family or market orchard. 



Large Early York — Large; white with red cheek; 

 fine grained, very juicy, rich and delicious; vigorous 

 and productive. August. 



Connecticut — A grand New England peach of ex- 

 ceptional hardiness of fruit bud and so valuable other- 

 wise as to place it in the foremost rank of hardy 

 peaches. Large, and handsome; golden yellow with 

 red cheek, rich and fine in quality, with a superior high 

 flavor, and to all yet more to its great value it ripens 

 early — before Crawford Early. 



Chinese Cling— Fruit large, roundish, oval, skin 

 transparent, cream color, with marbling of red next 

 the sun ; flesh creamy white, very juicy and melting, 

 with a rich, agreeable flavor. Last of July. 



Holder baum— The originator describes it as follows : 

 The size of the matured fruit is immense, many spec- 

 imens measuring from 12 to Hinches in circumference. 

 In color it is of a light cream yellow, with a beautiful 

 red cheek on the sunny side. In texture it is very firm , 

 of fine quality and a perfect freestone. The pit is very 

 small and the flesh is light yellow, streaked with red 

 from the surface to the center and the most exquisite 

 flavor. Ripens August 1st. 



Mrs. Brett — Large, white, red cheek, vigorous and 

 productive. Similar to Old Mixon. Free, but about 

 a week earlier; sure and prolific. 



Everbearing — See description, page 6. 



FIFTH RIPENING, 



Bokara No. 3 — Remarkable for its extreme hardi- 

 ness, having endured a temperature of 28° below zero 

 without injury. It ripens about the middle of August. 

 The fruit is large, specimens having measured seven 

 inches in circumference; yellow rich cheek, tough 

 skin ; flesh firm and of fine quality. A perfect free- 

 stone and a good keeper. 



Crawford Early— This beautiful yellow peach is 

 highly esteemed for market purposes. Fruit very 

 large, oblong; skin yellow with fine red cheek; flesh 

 yellow, juicy, sweet, excellent; tree exceedingly vig- 

 orous and productive. One of the old standard varie- 

 ties, but not planted as extensively as years ago. 



Kalamazoo — Large, golden yellow, with crimson 

 cheek; flesh thick, yellow ; superb quality, small pit. 

 Strong grower, early bearer; hardy and productive. 

 Between Early and Late Crawford. 



Morris White— Rather large; skin creamy white 

 tinged with red in the sun; flesh slightly firm, white 

 to the stone, melting and juicy, with an excellent fla- 

 vor. Trees vigorous and bear fair crops. One of the 

 very best for preserving on account of its entire ab- 

 sence of red at the stone. Middle of August. 



Red Cheek Melocoton — A famous old, well-known 

 and popular variety, extensively cultivated as a mar- 

 ket fruit ; fruit large, skin yellow , with deep red cheek, 

 flesh red at the stone, juicy, with a good rich, vinous 

 flavor; productive, freestone. Middle of August. 



Old nixon Cling— Large; yellowish white, dotted 

 with red on a red cheek; flesh pale white; very melt- 

 ing and juicy, with an exceedingly rich, luscious fla- 

 vor. One of the most desirable clingstone peaches.
