MATTHEWS— We received a sam- 

 ple of this fruit two years ago, and to 

 say the least it was o'ne of the finest 

 peaches of its season we have ever seen grow. It is a cross between Elberta and Smock, showing a parent- 

 age of both. The fruit is of large size, above medium; shaped similar to Elberta, but a little longer. 



In the section where it was originated, a noted fruit man says it is the most valuable succession to 

 Elberta so far introduced. In comparison it is a size larger and fa'r superior in quality while its bearing and 



shipping qualities are j ust as good. Its season of ripening 

 is three weeks later than Elberta, which still adds to its 

 value. Skin golden yellow, streaked with red, flesh yel- 

 low, firm and of excellent flavor. Perfect freestone. The 

 original tree of JNIatthews Beauty has been in bearing for 

 eight years and missed but one crop in that time, keeping 

 up its high standard one year with another. 



NEWI/INGTON CI/ING— Large to very large. 

 Red, juicy and rich. Last of August. 



GOI/D MINE- See description, page 5. 

 PERRY'S RED CLING— Fruit large to the largest, flesh white, skin red next to the sun, high 

 lavpr. For canning purposes it is simply superb. Tree vigorous and heavy grower. Last of August.
