^ Champion — originated in Illinois. Iruit large, beautiful in appearance, 

 flavor delicious, sweet rich and juicy, skin creamy white with red cheek; free- 

 stone and a good shipper, ripening about the 10th of August. The peculiarity 

 of this great acquisition is it hardiness, and the crowning events in its history 

 are its having stood a temperature of 18 degrees below zero in the winter of 

 1887-8 and produced an abundant crop the following season and again in 1890 

 produced a full crop when the p each crop was a universal fa ilure. , 



^ Elberta — An| exceedingly large, light colored jellcw jeach -with red cheek. 

 Flesh yellow, juicy and highly flavored. This is truly a fine peach, noted for 

 its large size and fine appearance. A cross between Crawford's and Chinese 

 Cling. No other peach has made such a name for shipping and none is culti- 

 vated more[extensively.^, Ripens early in August. 



Fitzgerald— Originated on the north shore of Lake Cntario. Original tree 

 has born five successive crops. The best posted growers in Michigan say it is 

 as large or larger than Crawford's Early, with the smallest pit I ever saw and 

 the most brilliant color; grows similar to Crawford and ripens between Ear- 

 ly and Late Crawford; flesh rich, deep golden yellow with high character, cer- 

 tainly a very fine peach, stands the winter better than any yet offered. 



Reeve's Favorite — Fruit large, roundish, with a fine red cheek; flesh deep 

 yellow, red at stone, juicy, melting, with a good vinous flavor, excellent. One 

 of the largest and handsomest peaches and should be in p.vptv orchard. Tree is 

 hardy and productive. A good freestone.
