VIEW OF THE GEORGIA BARBECUE, JUNE, 1904. 



A Georgia Barbecue arranged ready to be served in a famous young peach orchard, where many varieties of peaches 

 ■were served — a real education as to varieties. We travel thousands of miles to see and keep in touch with good growers 

 and varieties. 



Hieley (Early Bell)— This seedling of Bell of 

 Georgia, one of the best of all peaches of North China 

 type, the kind that are amougourmost hardy, is much 

 like its parent in size, color and beauty, having the 

 same vigor of tree and hardiness of fruit buds, but 

 ripens its fruit nearly a mouth earlier, thus giving us 

 alarge, rich, creamy white peach, with rich blush on 

 sunny side, at a season when in former years we had 

 only small semi-cling vari eties of poor quality. Early 

 Bell is aslargeas Stump, as beautiful as Old Mixon, of 

 fine quality and a good shipper. July 15th. 



Triumph — Very early yellow freestone peach, ripen- 

 ing with Alexander. Blooms late, has large flowers, 

 is a sure and abundant bearer and makes a very strong 

 growth. The fruit is small with a very small pit, and 

 is indeed beautiful. Surface is yellow, nearly covered 

 with red and dark crimson in the sun. Flesh bright 

 yellow, free when fully ripe and of excellent flavor. 



Admiral Dewey — It is a perfect freestone; ripens 

 with the Triumph ; fle&h is yellow, of uniform texture 

 and color to pit. Has better form and brighter color 

 on the surface ; is equally hardy and productive. The 

 tree is a strong symmetrical grower, and as near per- 

 fection as w e can obiain in a single variety. Origina- 

 tor's descrip<- : ^->. 



Troth's Early — A very early peach of medium 

 size, whitish, with a fire red cheek. Middle of July. 



Slappy — Nrw. A new peach that is creating a 

 great sensation among Georgia growers; originated 

 by Mr. Rumph, who has this to say of it : "The earliest 

 and handsomest yellow freestone peach; ripens at a 

 season when the market is bare of good peaches ; a 



very thrifty grower, very hardy, excellent flavor* 

 splendid keepiug qualities, free of excessive rot; no 

 better shipper yet originated. Ripens thoroughly to the 

 seed ; sweet, yellow flesh. Color a clear golden yellow 

 with dark shades; a beauty. June 15, in Georgia.' 



Schumacher — A very early peach, similar to Alex- 

 ander in many ways, but is more highly colored and. 

 more showy, very good qualities. June. 



Waterloo — Medium to large; flesh greenish white, 

 with abundance of sweet vinous juice. Semi-cling, 

 ripens with Amsden June. 



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. 



Eureka — Early semi-cling; seedling of Chinese 

 cling. Medium size, oblong, cream white with red 

 blush; tender and juicy when fully ripe, clear seed, 

 delicious flavor. Ripens at place of origin, in Louisi- 

 ana, June 15th. 



Arkansas Traveler— Seedling of the Amsden June 

 and ripens earlier; medium to large; color red, flesh 

 white with a delicious flavor. 



Victor— One of the earliest varieties known, of me- 

 dium size ripening before Sneed. A seedling of the 

 Chinese Cling, crossed with Spanish blood. Ripens in 

 Southern Texas from May 8th to 16th. For an extra 

 early variety plant the Victor. 



Early Tillotson — Medium size, skin yellowish 

 white and nearly covered with red, darkening on the 

 sunny side, very juicy and of excellent flavor. A good 

 market variety. Ripens first part of July.
