 Last of August. 



Niagara Peach — A new variety, but fully tested 

 by extensive orchard planting near Rochester, N, Y. 

 It may be called the New Elberta, since in appearance 

 it is just like Elberta. It seems to have all the desir- 

 able qualities of Elberta with none of its defects. One 



defect of Elberta is that the foliage is liable to be 

 affected wiih the fungus that causes leaf curl, while 

 the foliage of Niagara peach cannot be surpassed in 

 healthfuluess and vigor, and for its ability to resist 

 fungus, being almost of the character of leather. 

 Another reason is that while Elberta is of good fair 

 quality, Niagara is superb in quality and far superior 

 to Elberta. Niagara ripens one week earlier than 

 Elberta, ripening here September 1st. It is remark- 

 ably free from yellows and leaf curl. 



Frances— In this new variety we believe we have 

 one which is equal to the old standard Elberta in every 

 respect and ripens immediately after it. 



It is one of tho handsomest peaches ever grown, 

 being of a beautiful shade of yellow covered almost 

 entirely with brilliant red. In size it is about the 

 equal of Elberta, average specimens measuring nine 

 inches in circumference. It is very productive. It is 

 a true freestone, with particularly solid flesh, and as 

 a "shipper" is absolutely without a rival.

 a shipper, and could easily be shipped to Europe. It 

 comes when all other marketable peaches are gone,

 prise to all who have seen it. Season of ripening after
