PEACHES, continued 



RR ACKETT ^ yellow Peach of the Smock type. The fruit is large to 

 PJV ^*^ ,rv * very large, oblong in form, with pointed apex. An aver- 



age specimen weighed 5% ounces. The color is orange-yellow, mottled with 

 carmine, and darker carmine cheek; the mottlings indicate the Chinese strain. 

 The flesh is deep yellow, juicy, and highly flavored. Ripens after Elberta. A 

 grower in Georgia claims that Brackett brings him 50 cents a bushel more 

 than other varieties. It seems to be one of the most valuable new sorts. (See 

 special prices for Brackett, page 23.)

standard varieties in the big commercial orchards of the 

 United States, as it stands shipping to all markets in such a 

 way that it invariably brings the best prices. In many respects it is equal to 

 Elberta. 

 CARMAN Ripens third week in July. This is a favorite variety with

 are almost beyond belief, and the fruit stands shipping so well that it always 

 reaches market in prime condition. The fruit is remarkably attractive and 

 luscious; large and broad, oval-shaped, yellowish white, flesh creamy white, 

 red with tinge, spicy and good; free. This is a valuable early Peach.
