F. & F. Nurseries, 



* Triumph — The earliest yellow peach known. Ripens with the Alexander. Tree vig- 



orous, very productive of medium to large, round peaches. Skin yellow, with rich 

 red blush all over the sunny side ; flesh yellow ; ripens up all at once, evenly clear 

 to the pit ; freestone and a good keeper. The most popular new peach on the mar- 

 ket. It is a yellow peach of medium size, a good shipper, and in quality it is far 

 superior to anything that ripens anywhere near its season. 



* Wheatland— An improvement upon Crawford's Late and ripening just in advance of 



it ; extra large, beautiful golden yellow with a crimson cheek ; of best quality and 

 very productive. 



Wager — Large late yellow peach. Tree a short grower. Last August. 

 Ward's I/ate— Resembles Old Mix on, but a month later. 

 Waterloo— Medium white, shaded with red. Very early. July. 



Wonderful— Color rich, golden yellow, largely overspread with carmine ; one of the 

 latest freestone varieties ; of large size, possessing remarkable keeping qualities ; 

 wonderfully productive. October. 



XX Yellow— Yellow-fleshed ; freestone, with beautiful red cheek; sweet and juicy, 

 with rich vinous flavor ; a splendid peach. Last of August. 



* Yellow St. John — Another Michigan seedling that has been found to be one of the 



best and most profitable varieties there. A grand peach, nearly as large as Craw- 

 ford, fully equal in color and of superior flavor. Round fruit, brilliaut, showy. 

 Commences bearing young and produces abundantly. August. 



EVERBEARING. 



The introducer, P. J. Berckmans, of whom we bought our stock of this peach says 

 of it : " It is one of the most remarkable of peaches, as it combines many desirable 

 qualities which make it of great value for family use. The first peaches ripen about 

 with Mountain Rose and peaches continue to ripen during the entire season the last ones 

 with smock. The trees contain ripe and green peaches during this entire season and as 

 they bloom during so long a period there is sure to be a crop on them every year. 

 Fruit is a creamy white, mottled and striped, oblong in shape. Flesh white with red 

 veins near the skin. Very juicy and of excellent flavor, quality very good to the best 

 freestone. The first ripening peaches are medium to large while the later fruit 

 is smaller." 



It is not recommended for commercial orchards but is a novelty. For family use ; 

 it coming so highly recommended, we would advise our customers to try some of 

 this variety. 



APRICOTS. 



The apricot is among the most delicious of fruits, and can be grown largely and suc- 

 cessfully. As it ripens between cherries and peaches, it comes in very opportunely, and 

 is correspondingly welcome and valuable, always commanding a good price. Plant fif- 

 teen feet apart each way. Its chief enemy is the curculio, which can be destroyed and 

 rendered harmless, the same as on plums. Spray with Paris Green in water, mild solu- 

 tion, just after the blossoms fall and again a week or ten days later. Will thrive wherever 

 plums and peaches will. 



* Harris — This variety originated in Western New York and is of recent introduction. 



Wherever tried it is taking the lead of all other sorts. 

 Moorpark — Large, orange, the most popular old sort. August. 

 Peach — Similar to above, but a little hardier in tree. August.
