 and good, with a rich flavor. Last of August. 



Ward's Late— A fine variety, ripening last of Au- 

 gust ; vigorous and productive ; fruit rather large ; skin 

 white with a large crimson cheek; flesh white, juicy, 

 melting and excellent. Valuable for canning and 

 market purposes. 



Christiana — A new, very large, fine-looking yel- 

 low peach, ripening between Crawford Late and 

 Smock. Its large size, handsome appearance and time 

 of ripening combine to make it a very valuable peach. 



Elberta — .See description in Winner's list. 



Matthews— It is a cross between Elberta and Smock, 

 showing a parentage of both The fruit is of large 

 size, above medium ; shaped similar to Elberta, but a 

 little longer. 



In the section where it originated, a noted fruit man 

 says it is the most valuable succession to Elberta so 

 far introduced. In comparison it is a size larger and 

 far superior in quality while its bearing and ship- 

 ping qualities are just as good. Its season of ripening 

 is three weeks later than Elberta, which still adds 

 to its value. Skin golden yellow, streaked with red, 

 flesh yellow, firm and of excellent quality. Perfect 

 freestone. 



Newlington Cling— Large to very large. Red, 

 juicy and rich. Last of August.

 heavy grower. Last of August.

Emma— Described by the originator as being very 

 large, yellow with light crimson cheek, flesh yellow, 

 fine grained, very juicy; quality among the best, a 

 freestone. In maturity if follows immediately after 

 Elberta. Where this peach has been shipped to the 

 market it has always commanded an extra price over 

 the other varieties. It is better in quality than Elber- 

 ta. As this valuable variety comes from the home of 

 the Elberta, fruit growers should not hesitate to make 

 a thorough trial of this at once.

 Messrs. J. G. Harrison & Sons, 

 Berlin, Md. 

 Dear Sirs: — We received our trees November 1st, and 

 now they are nearly all delivered. Not a man grumbled. 

 You sent us the finest trees I ever saw. Every man that 

 has come for his trees went ho Tie with a broad grin on his 

 face. Your trees are certainly grand. I think I will make 

 another order in the Spring, and if I live I think I will visit 

 your place during the holidays. You see I teach school and 

 cannot come just any time. I remain, 



Yours truly, 



I. M. Hockman. 



Maryland, April 1 tth, 1903. 

 Mr. J. G. Harrison, 



Dear Friend: — I pen you a few lines to let you know 

 that I got the trees safe and sound and was very much 

 pleased with them, but was sorely grieved when I found 

 that my quince trees were not there. Pap was very much 

 pleased too. Now if they only live. I have been made 

 a fool of so often with these old agents running around that 

 Pap was almost in fear to send, but I took it on myself. 

 They pleased us both, they looked so thrifty. Is it a good 

 time to send in the Fall. **Yes." 



Yours truly, 



E. A. Page.
