HARRISON'S NURSERIES, BERIJN, MD. 



Mamie Ross — A seedling- of the Chinese Cling, 

 which it much resembles. Fruit almost as large as 

 the Chinese Cling; white, nearly covered with delicate 

 carmine; flesh white juicy and of good quality. A 

 regular and very prolific bearer, June 15. Popular 

 throughout a wide region in Texas, where it is 

 esteemed the finest early cling. 



Waterloo— Medium to large; flesh greenish white, 

 with abundance of sweet vinous juice, semi-cling, 

 ripens with Amsden June. 



SECOND RIPENING. 



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. 



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. 



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. 



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

 with a delicate pink cheek; flesh 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. 



Hynes' Surprise — True freestone when ripe; re- 

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



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. 



Waddell — 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.

Yellow St. John— One of the most beautiful and 

 profitable yellow freestones. Large; flesh yellow. 

 Equal in flavor to Cravvford. Very 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.

 crimson cheek. One of the earliest freestones

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

 white flesh, very prolific. 



FOURTH RIPENING. 



Connecticut — A grand NewEngland 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 add yet more to its great value it 

 ripens early — before Crawford Early.

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

Holderbaum — In color it is of a light cream yellow, 

 with a beatiful red cheek on the sunny side. In 

 texture it is very firm, of fine quality and of 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
