 ern Maryland and West Virginia. 



BokaraNo. 3. — Remarkable for its extreme hardiness, having endured a tem- 

 perature of 28 c below zero without injury. It is of Asiatic origin but has been 

 fruited several years especially in Iowa where 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 freestone 

 and a good keeper. 



Branny wine — A peach closely resembling the Crawford's Late in ap- 

 pearance but ripening about ten days later, equally as large as the former. A 

 very desirable freestone peach. Flesh yellow and firm. 



Crawford's 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 vigorous and productive. 

 One of the old standard varieties but not planted as extensively as years ago. 



Connett's Southern Early — A seedling of the old Chinese Cling, which 

 originated in Guilford County, North Carolina. It has extra large fruit of a 

 cream white shade: having a beautiful blush next to the sun. 



Crosby — Medium size, bright orange yellow, streaked with carmine. On 

 account of its beautiful color and fine quality it commands ready sale in compe- 

 tition with best standard market sorts. Claimed to be the hardiest of all peach- 

 es. Good for both home and market. September. 



Connecticut — A grand New England peach of exceptional hardiness of 

 fruit bud and so valuable otherwise 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 hieh flavor, and to all yet more to its great value it rip- 

 ens early- before Crawford's Early. Hon. J. M. Hubbard, peach commissioner 

 for State of Connecticut, considers it the finest yellow peach known, especially 

 for the trying winter climate of the north First class trees 20c each. 81.75 per 

 dozen by express; June bud 10c each, $1. per dozen by mail post paid. 



Chinese Cling— Fruit large, roundish, oval: skin transparent cream col-

 ing, with a rich, agreeable flavor. Last of July. 



Early Rivers — A large peach of a pale strawcolor. with a delicate pink 

 cheek, flesh with a delicate pink tint. Middle of July. 



Greensboro — A wonderful new variety originated in Greensboro. N. C, 

 ripening earlier than Alexander and nearly double its size. It is a great bearer, 

 the tree being annually loaded with fruit, which is large yellowish white, beau, 

 tifully colored with crimson cheek; flesh white, very juicy and of fine quality- 

 skin thin and rubs off easily. It differs also from most early peaches in being, 

 entirely free from rot. It is a great surprise to behold peaches of such size, rip- 

 ening before Alexander in such abundance and in quality among the best. 



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's 

 Early but larger and probably a little heavier bearer. A very handsome free- 

 stone.
