HAREISON'S NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 21 



Hale's Early — A standard early sort, coming into bearing in July. Partic- 

 ularly attractive, with smooth, white skin, delicately marbled with different 

 ©hades of red on the sunny side. Rots in some localities. No good here. 



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

 has borne five successive crops. The best posted grower in Michigan says 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 Early and 

 Late Crawford, flesh rich, deep golden yellow, with high character, certainly a 

 very fine peach, stands the winters better than any yet offered. 



Sneed— A variety of the Chinese Cling family and the earliest peach known. 

 The tree possesses the hardiness and vigor of its class and is a productive bearer. 

 Fruit medium to large, inclining to oval, rich creamy white with bright crimson 

 blush, flesh firm, sweet, fine quality, ripens evenly to the pit and does not rot. 

 A very desirable peach and valuable on account of its extreme earliness for 

 either the home garden or for market. 



Mcintosh Peach— Endorsed by twelve eminent nurserymen. A valuable 

 new seedling peach, originated on our fruit farms two miles north of Gri2in, Ga. 

 Peach of large size, creamy white flesh, highly colored, nearly free stone, ripens 

 to the stone, of good quality, ripens just after Triumph, this season, 1896, from 

 June 20th to July 1st. The original tree bore first crop of fruit in '93; fruit was 

 large and highly colored. Last season, 1895, the tree and top grafts budded in 

 '93 were full of fruit, which did not ro«, while other varieties rotted badly; rip- 

 ened July 10th. This year the trees had on a full crop of fine fruit, only medium 

 size on account of drouth. The tree is a strong grower, heavy bearer, trees re- 

 quire thinning of fruit. It is the best peach that ripens between Triumph and 

 Elberta, and far superior in size, quality and shipping to Mt. Rose, Early Rivers, 

 Tilloston, Hale's Early, Huster No. 16, Foster Lady Ingold, which ripen between 

 Triumph and Elberta. — Originators.

 tive, free.

 with a rich, agreeable flavor. Last of July.

 Crawford's and Chinese Cling; juicy, well flavored: said to be probably the finest
