HARRISONS’ NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 23 
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. In northern sections 
of the country where a very low 
temperature often follows a few 
warm days in winter or early spring 
it is very desirable to possess a vari- 
ety of more than usual hardiness for 
regular yearly bearing. The ordi- 
nary leading standard varieties can- 
not be depended upon in such sec- 
tions for regular crops. In the Con- 
necticut we have a tree that isa vig- 
orous grower and a heavy annual 
bearer, with fruit buds so hardy that 
if never fails to produce a crop, 
even in New England. The fruit 
itself is all that can be desired, large 
CONNECTICUT. and handsome, golden yellow with 
red cheek, rich and fine in quality with a superior high flavor, and to all yet 
more to its great value it ripens early—before Crawfvurd’s Early. Hon. J. M. 
Hubbard, peach commissioner for the state of Conneticut, considers it the finest 
yellow peach known, especially for the trying winter climate of the north.

Crawford, flesh rich, deep golden yellow, very high character. certainly a very 
fine peach, stands the winters better than any yet offered. One year old tree,
