 red blush; tender and juicy when fully ripe, clear seed, delicious flavor. Ripens at place of origin, in Louisi- 

 ana, June 15th. 



ARKANSAS TR A VE.LE.R— Seedling of the Amsden June and ripens earlier: medium to 

 large: color red, flesh white with a delicious flavor. 



Second Ripening'. 



CARMAN— The originator says it is either a seedling of or a sister to Elberta; tree of same habit 

 of growth, only has larger and darker colored foliage. Tree hardy and productive and fiuit practically rot 

 proof, as original tree, standing in low, wet ground, has perfected its fruit two seasons, while other varieties 

 all about have rotted entirely. Carman is described as large, broad, oval in form, pointed; skin vellowish 

 white, dotted and flushed red: 'flesh creamy white, slightly tinged red, of a sprightly \-inous flavor. The 

 Rural New Yorker flrst described it some j-ears ago as an extra large, yellow peach. 'like Elberta. only five 

 weeks earlier: it certainly is of the Elberta type, but it is not strictly a 3-ellow. neither is it white. ' The 

 Texas Farm and Ranch saj-s: "Carman peach is of large size, oblong, resembling Elberta, and is the best 

 flavored early peach we know: the skin is tough, and it is just the peach to ship a long distance.'' 



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 E-ARLY- A'n 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, how- 

 ever, succeed well in some places, and mostly in ele%-ated lands towards and among the mountains, and it 

 should have a place in the orchards. July.

 cellent flavor: fruit uniformly large and showj" tree a rapid grower and productive; ver\- prolific; free.
